“You Should be Proud of Yourself!”

Sister Elaine was delighted the other day, and made no secret of it!  She received a card on the occasion of her 60th jubilee from a relative.  She was enthralled…

This card, a Hallmark, had a picture of a smug little fox with the caption: “You should be proud of yourself!”  Sister was quick to share that it was “the good Lord who should be proud for having gotten [her] that far,” through 60 years.

She mentioned later that she had even had the card in chapel, showing it to Him, and saying as much, thankful for the grace of perseverance over these years.

Congratulations, Sister Elaine, on your 60th Jubilee of Religious Profession, and for your example of joy and gratitude to the rest of us.

I think your little fox is pretty cute, too!
