I am thinking I should write a little "speech" for her, and give it to her, even if I don't present it to anyone...but I don't know how to start... [/quote] That sounds beautiful, and I am sure she would appreciate it...it might make your job easier gift-wise, with her vow of poverty you may (or may not) be struggling with whether or not to get her a gift. This would be a great gift for her on her special day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary's Margaret Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 What a lovely idea. I don't know if this will help, but when I write something for someone I imagine talking with them and simply write what comes to my heart as it would in conversation. Then it can be tweeked, if necessary, to suit the situation. I know whatever you write will come from great love and will be a consolation and encouragement for your sister to read when the Life becomes challenging at times. God bless you both on this joyful day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I had been struggling with a gift, but then DTA was amesome enough to take a medal to all the razzle dazzle Dominican places she went on her trip to Italy. My sister had told me to give her a spiritual bouquet, which I had sort of done for her graduation (she entered straight out of high school, so she didn't need anything for high school graduation). For that one, I did a 3x5 notecard for every day with a Saint's quote on one side and the prayer we would say for her on the other all that summer as a countdown to her entrance. That was a LOT of work, but she loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] When SAM professed vows last year-- all of her guests (minus SAM herself) went out to eat that evening and her twin sister got up and made a little speech. It was nice; we had a private banquet room. Have a great trip! We really enjoyed it last year--very special, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jruss Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 And I will be praying for your sister. I'll probably run in to her 2 weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Getting super excited! I'm mostly packed. I've been working on a speech, which I will most likely just write on some nice stationary and give to my sister. I think that is a win-win situation.

Lisa Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Oh MissScripture, that's a beautiful idea!!!! It will be something she can treasure for many years to come, particularly re-reading it when she renews her vows and makes final vows, Lord willing!
