Positivity, Good News Only Thread

My newborn son seems to have taken a liking to me but gets fussy around my wife. Maybe it's because she smells like milk/food so he just has constant expectations, or maybe it's because I "airplane" him around everywhere so I get more fun associations. The pattern developed, even friends would hold him and he'd be fine, but then mom would pick him up and he got fussy again. It got her down pretty bad, she was wondering if something was wrong with her, saying that babies are supposed to be attached to mom.

A couple of days later, he was sitting on her, they had eyes locked, and he laughed for the first time. I caught it on camera at exactly the right time. She's since watched the video 30+ times and it's her new favorite thing.

I went to church today for the first time in a little while - no excuse, just been struggling.

It was packed, just about the fullest I've seen it on a regular Sunday. At coffee hour afterward, I told matushka there must have been 20 catechumens up there. She said there are currently 26 of them. Wow! This is a small country church, so that's pretty amazing to see. Praise God!
 
My husband invited me to sneak away this afternoon and go see the new Tron: Ares movie. The official release date is tomorrow, but he suggested it would be less crowded and annoying to do on a Thursday afternoon, and I agreed. It was a lot of fun. He had NEVER been to an Imax theater, so I suggested we see it there so he could experience it. It was cool, but it was SO LOUD.

Anyway, the movie was entertaining and I'd recommend it if you're a nerd who likes cool computer tech and lite brite-esque lights and stuff like we do 🤓 I definitely experienced it through the spiritual lens, and on the surface it's a good vs evil story. I'm pretty convinced Disney is an evil company, so I watched with discernment and am curious to analyze it further so I can find any dark messaging hidden within it.

All in all, we had a very fun date afternoon and it really makes me smile how he's been stepping up his romantic hubby game lately 👩‍❤️‍👨
 

Father Mike is pretty amazing as well as the whole Ascension Presents team. The Holy Spirit works in such a mysterious way... I was in a really bad place a few weeks ago and the classical radio station that I listen to played a portion of The Magnificat by Mozart or Bach (I can't remember which one). I wasn't able to finish listening to it in the car so I tried looking it up on youtube and that is what led me to the Magnificat prayer and the prayer with the Sisters that I posted in the Prayer section. It's always astounding and awe inspiring to witness Providence acting in your life in real-time.

God hears our prayers and He answers them. Always.
