Dancing like the Daffodils

As a member of the Third Order of Carmel I have had certain responsibilities. The latest was to get to our regional Catholic newspaper information about our group in anticipation of expanding our holy numbers. I just received a call from a guy who read about our article in the paper and wants to meet with us! I am dancing! I have prayed about evangelization as one of my Resolutions for the year. I pray for vocations to the priesthood and the religious life, especially for Carmel, when I pray each third mystery of the rosary. ( Mother Teresa taught me this rosary prayer idea) And today I received a call and, Oh, I have dragged my feet about the article and have felt so uninspired in putting it together and agitated about my responsibility. But I did it anyway.and today a response! I realize that this is just the beginning, that we have to shoulder the responsibility for being the face and hands of Christ in Carmel, but still, I feel my prayers have been acknowledged. And I am most grateful.
