Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
Lead: Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
Response: And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

In our six years being immigrants to Canada, I marvel at how most Canadians proudly wear the red poppy or Flander's Poppy on their breasts beginning of November each year.
A poem written about the fallen soldiers describe the flowers growing over their graves France and Belgium.
I learned that here in Winnipeg, there are at least 10,000 graves of these brave heroes in the Brookside Cemetery.
Harry Coleburn, of World War 1,is buried there. He originally owned Winnie the bear, which inspired Winnie The Pooh story.
And yes, Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnipeg.

Yesterday, Lilli encouraged me to attend their Remembrance Day activity at her school. Their school choir sang two beautiful songs.
My first born also had another beautiful milestone event, her graduation from Red River College last November 9.
And last November 7, her dad and I were so proud to discover, as we celebrated a 60th birthday of a friend at the Fort Garry Hotel, that she made the dessert of Creme Brulee for the event.
