As the Eucharist Bestows Peace Upon Me
May 22nd, 2007 by michelle
After attending Liturgy this morning, I am feeling much better (see my ear). It seems like taking the Eucharist does that for me. I am immediately filled with what could be nothing other than the Holy Spirit. It has changed me inside and out.
I have a more positive attitude about my life. My perspective changed and I am able to focus more on what is important. I can smile and laugh more easily. My patience has been restored. And I feel an overwhelming sense of peace.
I have found that this day has been very joyful, and it was one when I woke up two hours earlier than normal and my son was miserable for a large percentage of the day due to the fact that he too was awakened before the sunrise. Even my exhaustion and minor frustrations could not outweigh the placidity that the Eucharist placed upon my spirit.
I was able and eager to take care of my cantankerous child. I spent much time lovingly preparing my husband’s favorite meal.
And now I am able to write.
Peace has rested itself upon me once again.
I am in the midst of preparing an entry that says very similar things. It is so true, but also very hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it.
Yay! I’m so glad, thanks be to God!
And, Happy Afterfeast!
