Today's post is brought to you by the letter "F"
As many of you know I am a lifelong fan of Sesame Street, so this is tres appropos. My letter, F, was given to me by Laura. And now, without further ado.....
The rules of this game:
My letter is "F". Hmmm, 10 words, this could be tough....
1. Fiat: Ok, I admit I stole this one from Laura's post. This is the word that Mary said to the archangel Gabriel when he asked if she would carry Christ in her womb. Mary's response? Fiat Voluntas Tua. Let it be done unto me according to your word... Such a huge committment by such a young girl.
2. Faith: What should determine everything we do. If we have faith nothing is impossible.
3. Family: Those whom we love deeply, not just those related by blood or marriage. Part of my family is the Community of St. John. I've always wanted brothers and sisters, now I have hundreds!
4. Friends: semi-synonymous with family. Those who bring out the best in you, challenge you, support you and aren't afraid to tell you when you're out of line.
5. Fraternity: as in brotherhood in Christ. Fraternal love and correction ensure that we are on the right path and remind us of what faith demands.
6. First: This word reminds me of what we should put first in our lives, our days, our hearts...
7. Fight: There are things worth dying for. What are yours?
8. Fear: I have lots of silly fears and others that are not so silly and somewhat huge. The big ones especially remind me that I must trust and abandon my fears to the will of God who loves me and will never abandon me, no matter what life brings, good or bad!
9. Fabulous: You look fabulous dharling! It's a word we Americans don't use enough. Try using it today and see the delightful reaction you get.
10. Fleeting: Our lives are fleeting, we never know what will happen or when they will end, therefore, don't put off things you should have said yesterday.
Hmmm that was fun! Next?!
The rules of this game:
- Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter.
- Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
- Pass out letters to those who want to play along.

LOVED the inclusion of "fabulous"! It's a word I probably overuse. When I use it today, I'll say a little prayer for you.
Great "f" words!
