You people make me want to be Catholic

Illume · Aug 21, 2004

I have been lurking on this forum for quite a while, and the way you all are so friendly and encouraging if one another just makes me happy to be a christian; and it kinda makes me wanna be catholic. The love and devotion I feel whenever reading some of your posts is nothing less than encouraging, especially in people like Miss Shelby, Proud2becatholic, PeterPaul, MParedon, NYJ,Rosa Mystica, Crystal and BjBarnett. You all really are encouraging.

You'd be amazed at how much Catholicism, even being Catholic-minded can improve your life for the better....

I was thinking the same thing. The OP's post reminds me of that poem, "When you thought I wasn't looking."

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my
favorite cake for me, and I knew that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a
prayer, and I believed there is a God I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me good night, and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked........ and
wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw

when you thought I wasn't looking.
