I have been meaning to post this for a while and last time I came here I ran out of time reading all the great posts and writing my own. Now I'm at it again 
My husband, who was baptized a Catholic (not known to us until last year), will be making his First Communion on April 11th and will be confirmed on May 9th.
I just wanted to share this before Easter and ask for your prayers of Thanksgiving as this has been a long time prayer request (19 yrs.) for me and I know for some of you here for quite a while too.
I'm praying for your intentions!
Blessed Lent!
