I love Divine Mercy Sunday! It is such a fitting way to end the octave (eight days) of Easter! And also some of my favorite readings falls on this Sunday.
The first reading from Acts 5:12-16...the story of Peter healing the lame by the touch of his shadow...truly a gift from God to witness to those in view!
Also, a reading from the Gospel of John 20:19-31...the story of doubting Thomas. It gives me hope to know that those who do not see yet believe are blessed with special graces. That's us!!!! WOO-HOO...I need all the graces and blessings I can get!
Then we met at The Jalapeno Tree for a nice meal and lots of fun conversations. We were seated in the party room, which was awesome because...we felt like we were having a great time just as if we were at a party!
The boys thought the sign on the wall was funny..."Free enchiladas tomorrow!"
We also had so much food leftover AFTER having our fill...we will have good leftovers tomorrow! So I guess the sign was right! LOL!
The boys had been given a gift card at Christmas by our dear church friends Larry and Doris. I am not sure how we held on to it for so long...but I think we have found our new favorite restaurant!
