Dear Diary,
This morning, Mini and I took our usual walk down the quiet street, with the cool air and the sound of the birds waking up the day. As we were wandering, something unexpected happened—Mini suddenly took off ahead of me, her little legs moving so fast! I wasn’t sure what she was so excited about, but then I saw her run up to a girl standing by the water. Mini greeted her with such enthusiasm, wagging her bottom and bouncing around, as if she had known her forever.
That’s when I met Vreni.
Right away, I knew she was a good person. It was like Mini sensed her kindness before I even got close. Animals seem to know these things—they can feel the goodness in someone’s heart. Vreni smiled and knelt down to pet Mini, and we started talking. It felt easy, like we’d been friends all along. We ended up chatting about so much, but we spent the most time on today’s Gospel reading from Galatians. Vreni said the fruits of the Spirit—like peace, patience, and kindness—are things she tries to live by every day. I realized I do too, especially when Sister Mary Claire reads them to me in the mornings.
Mini, always happy to make new friends, stuck by us the whole time. I could tell she approved of Vreni being part of our little circle.
As the day comes to an end, I’m feeling thankful for the peace the Spirit gave me today. To close, here’s a little prayer-poem I wrote:
Evening Prayer
The day is done, the night is near,
With peace and joy, no place for fear.
The Spirit guides each step I take,
And in His love, my heart won’t break.
For every friend He sends my way,
I bow my head and softly pray.
May kindness bloom and love be strong,
And in His light, we all belong.
Amen.
