Something made me get up from my computer, go into the kitchen and hug my wife, with tears in my eyes. I just realized we won't always have each other. One day I could be alone with no one else in our home. The people we take for granted are the most important things in our lives. Thank you, your message was from God himself.

This was beautiful, thank you Doreen!!! It brought to my mind something Christopher West speaks about in his Theology of the Body for Beginners talk. He reads a few pop music song lyrics and shows in the words of these songs the longing for God that is in every human heart. Because of our culture's ignorance towards God, while searching and following that longing in our heart, we end up searching through and eating out of a dumpster instead. We have been deceived into believing that the dumpster is beautiful and eating out of that dumpster is good and normal. The words of St Augustine also keep coming to mind after reading this article: "Our hearts are restless and they will always remain restless until they rest in you O Lord". “Amen sister!!!!” This was beautiful, thank you Doreen!!!

I'm hoping we're not next. It has been said that Communism in Europe failed because it was not beautiful–think of whole cities full of row upon row of Stalinist concrete apartment buildings.
