All our bags are packed, we're ready to go...no, correction, our suitcase is packed. Literally, it's a suitcase! I thought my sister was joking that for our 3-day long drive holiday to
Port Macquarie, I will be needing a suitcase, well apparently, she was not joking!
It was a bit stressful preparing for this trip. Well, aside from the clothes, I had to prepare the other so many stuff that we need in the trip, which includes the toys, First Aid Kits, etc. I'm glad it's all over!
Before we head off up north, we spent our Holy Week attending various Church activities. Thursday we attended the Lord's Last Supper celebration at our Parish,
Mary Immaculate. It was a bit hard to consentrate as I had Sam with althroughout the mass. Today, we had Stations at the Cross at
Mt. Schoenstatt at Mulgoa. After the Stations of the Cross, we headed to
Tench Reserve and had a luncheon picnic with our CFC bros and sisses. The kids enjoyed the beautiful weather while playing at the playground. By 3 pm we attended the Veneration of the Cross ceremony at our Parish. Funny, but althroughout these activties, I kept on explaining to Liam what and why are we doing these things, because he kept on asking, "why?" -- the hardest of all possible questions! It's also a bit challenging for me as I need to explain these things to him within his level. Like when he asked, "Where is Jesus now?"..when I told him that Jesus was nailed on the cross. Well, I hope I was able to satisfy his curiosity.
Now, in a few minutes we'll be hitting the bed to re-charge ourselves for our long drive tomorrow. I pray that Sam will be able to endure the 5 hour drive (short break at Mackas/Mcdo so she can have a breather from her car seat and I can feed her as well). I pray for a safe and enjoyable holidays for our family. I think I really need this one.
But more than these things, I think I had a good holy week, especially after overcoming another trial -- finally letting go and realizing a lot of things...and getting the answers to things that have been bugging me and making me emotional the past days. Forgiving and forgetting :)
Have a blessed Easter!
