I was so excited, I called David on his cell right away. It was just providential; Chris had just been in town and I'd taken pictures of him with Gabriel. Now I could take new pictures of Gabriel with his godmother too. It had to be divine intervention. (I also admit to a moment of weakness and pride-- thank goodness the house was cleaned yesterday! Convents are neat and spotless, unlike our house constantly ransacked by four kids :-)
David made sure to come home from work to see Sister Mary Clare. They've been friends since college-- they lived in a coed Catholic house called St. Joseph's Vineyard, and therefore were also housemates.
Gabriel was a bit shy around Sister Mary Clare and her parents, but as always, happily sat on her lap for pictures. They turned out so great!
If she ever comes into town again, David wants to take her to the elementary school and have lunch with Rebecca. It would be wonderful for Rebecca to spend time with her. A nun in a public school.. now wouldn't that cause a ruckus? (David has the best ideas!)
What a special visit from a special person. We are so blessed! Thank you Lord for such a special gift today!
