A Letter from Our Director
Dear Friends,
I hope you had a wonderful summer of refreshment and relaxation with family and friends. Whether you traveled or stayed home, did something new or the same old thing, summer has a way of inviting us to slow down and enjoy God’s gifts.
I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Jersey shore several times over the last two months. For me, there are few things more peaceful than being by the ocean. I think it’s because I can relate to its many moods: stormy, calm, strong, serene. If the ocean is rough one day, it might be calm the next, with the sun glistening off the breaking waves. I am like that: one minute out of sorts and the next, calm and at peace. I have learned that going from one mood to the next is all part of life. We respond, as the ocean does, to outside influences. We can’t make them go away, but we can reflect on how they affect us. The ocean seems to play out the cycle of mood changes. Perhaps I might learn to do the same, trusting that God will get me (and everyone else around me!) through the rough spots.
As the summer draws to a close, we turn our attention towards new beginnings like school, jobs, and football! May this new season bring another opportunity to reflect on God’s ways and wonders.
We, at the IHM Conference/Retreat Center, are turning our attention to new beginnings as well. We are excited to offer new programs that might enrich and strengthen your relationship with God. Why not consider joining us throughout the new year? Click the links here for our September offerings: Home Page or Our Brochure
God bless you!
