CHARISMATA! Coaching for Abundant Life

While I was on vacation, I spent alot of time talking with and praying with the Blessed Mother. I wasn't expecting to but the relaxation and beautiful surroundings of peaceful gardens and solitude just drew me into her presence. One day I asked her to help me draw her image.  I am not much of a "free hand" artist (I usually copy other's work and techniques) and I can't really draw faces that well so I knew  I was going to need her help. The result is above.  I imagine that she is very much more beautiful than this drawing but what is amazing and a true miracle is that I was able to draw it at all... it is just another example of the fact that the Blessed Mother, the saints and our Triune God are all very near and willing to help us and want very much for us to interact with them like we do people here on earth.

I may have mentioned before that it wasn't until two or three years ago that I could even draw anything at all... it is a gift that has come directly from heaven and it flows out of my relationship with God. It is a part of the miracle of mercy and healing that is taking place in my life one day at a time by the grace of God.

The Blessed Mother is so beautiful in her spirit and so comforting. All of my life, I have kept her "at arm's length" because of my relationship with my earthly mother.  Alot of us do that with God, too. But what I know is that they never tire of wanting to be nearer to our hearts.  They are always waiting for us to come closer.  With heavenly patience and unending mercy, they are waiting with open arms and hearts to bring us into the fullness of their love.  It is quite overwhelming, but still it can't compared to what we will experience in the world to come!!

My prayer is that you will receive a "little taste of heaven" this

week~ by way of your Blessed and Beautiful Mother!
