Spring Cleaning

I'm spring cleaning in the family attic! It's like a visit to a genealogical museum. There are letters by the packs and photo albums and I've even discovered that my tiny farm community had their own women's basketball team back in the early 1900's--progressive! It's also an inspiration to read the letters and newspaper clippings that reveal just how determined and faith-filled those of the old times were. The family has certainly had a long and colorful faith journey and it makes me wonder what folks 75 or more years from now will think about my leg of the family journey. How will they look upon my choice to follow vocation as a consecrated religious woman? What will I leave behind for them to ponder? It's a good thing to wonder about!
