Mir passiert das auch. Immer dann, wenn ich mich besonders persönlich und selbst anstrenge, dann erreiche ich mein Wunschziel nicht. Fehlt da der Segen Gottes, weil ich zu egoistisch gehandelt habe?

This happens to me too. Whenever I make a special personal effort, I fail to achieve my desired goal. Is God's blessing missing because I acted too selfishly?
Frau Furchert, Sie wissen, dass ich vor Jahren auf die Wand zugelaufen bin und es gab keine Tür. Heute bin ich dankbar, dass es eine Tür gibt, egal wie schwer oder leicht sie sich öffnen lässt.
Almut, you were so wise to ponder what happened, and your follower was SO wise, bold and kind to tell you what she saw. For 25+ years I had to read between the lines when one of my classes didn't make, or when I was trying to figure out my summer schedule for Fort Worth people who were mostly wanting to get out of the hottest place in the world (LOL) in July and August. So, I talked to lots of my families for months in advance, bouncing my scheduling ideas off of them. I finally figure it out. You are right about Mother's Day. . . I decided long ago that Mother's Day is "sacred" in this culture, which always surprises me. My family was never "into holidays" like to many were and still are. I loved and still love my mother, but it was not a sacred day. . . . Enjoy your time with the four who will be with you, and you'll learn what they need and what your September people need in this very unusual world. Peace and love!
Carol, thank you so much for your words of wisdom. Yes, it is always a struggle to set dates for programs. What has worked one season does not work the other. But I am glad we will still go 😇. Much blessings to you also.
I wanted to come to the Spring Hildegarde Retreat, but I couldn't leave the family celebration my son planned for Mother's Day. If you plan another Hildegarde Retreat in September I hope the date will work out for me. Thank you for expressing your feelings and prompting people to write back. I hope you have a wonderful experience with the four people who are able to participate--Please light a candle and pray for me, and I will think of you during the weekend.
Peace and love to you, with thanks for your words and thoughts of blessing. Judy Bond

This is always an important question to consider, Hr. Herbek. And sometimes even with our best intentions it still goes wrong :-)

Ja, ich erinnere mich gut! Und freue mich von Ihnen zu hören :-) Schön, wenn sich Türen öffnen ...
