Today’s first reading God gives Moses laws to tell the people much like the ten commandments. I never realized that God said “Love your neighbor as yourself” Maybe Jesus was quoting Leviticus when He said it. In the gospel, Jesus says whatever you did or didn’t do to the least of my brethren, you did…
I forgot to add a post for a toy on Sunday. Sunday’s toy is another Izzy bear knitted with black on the bottom so it looks like his hands are in his pants. I like this knitting pattern. I used Big Twist value black yarn, Hobby Lobby soft secret yarn in violet, and Yarn ID…
I am going to mass on Saturday and that is why this post is early. In the first reading we receive the covenant of God and his people after the great flood. The promise is shown to us in the beauty of a rainbow 🌈. The second reading is just so beautiful: 1 Pt 3:18-22…

Today’s readings discuss fasting and that people said to Jesus “Why don’t your followers fast?” He says a time will come for fasting after He is taken from them. What an…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. Using a pattern that is supposed to use Bloom yarn by Premier, I used the variegated yarn that I am still trying to use up! The pattern is knit flat and then seamed. I have never had an issue with that method, even for sweaters. I guess I am…
Today’s readings are in the season of Lent. The first reading is Moses telling the people to choose life and follow God’s commandments. Jesus tells us in the gospel to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. The readings put emphasis on how you should live your earthly life so that you enter…
