My roomate and son, just got wonderful news for the New Year. He was offered a new position in Engineering in Florida. I am so proud and happy for him. While the news wasn't my exact answer of a prayer, it brings me unbridled happiness to share in his success.
New Year's Eve was spent at the Rectory enjoying an indian dinner with our Pastor. He is an indian priest, and we just adore him. A brilliant man, he is never short on stimulating conversation and encouragement. He is always researching other religions, and last night he shared his observations about the Koram. While we are Catholics, it is always fun to understand other cultures and beliefs.
In between bites of scrumptious curried chicken and all the trimmings, the phone in the Rectory rang endlessly from family in India wishing him a happy New Year. I had never heard him speaking his native language and enjoyed listening to the bantering of conversation and excitement in his voice.
We talked about Mother Theresa and how she visited his seminary while preparing for his priesthood. Mother, never short on wisdom and encouragement, was always ready to serve others; sharing spiritual gifts connected with selfless living. I had always wished I had an audience with her, and I have always been in awe of her life.
Today, the first day of this New Year, I am invited to one of Denver's most elegant hotel's for an early dinner with a close friend.
I can hardly wait to turn the next page of 2010. While I can't look into the future, I am hoping it is better than 2009.
