Summary

When life sends suffering your way, do you remember to "offer it up"? This is phrase many of us grew hearing our moms say to us, but what is the Catholic idea of "offering it up"? Do our sacrifices really have value? For ourselves? For our family and friends? For souls who might be in purgatory? What exactly IS redemptive suffering and in what ways can it help us to grow in gratitude, gain spiritual insights, and grow closer to God? Also this week I share feedback from listeners Jennie, Tanya, Sam, and David. Send me your thoughts about this week's topic and I will share them in our next episode!

0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 94. Offer it up.
0:11.8	Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance,
0:21.9	and joy in family living.
0:24.2	This week we're talking about fall storms, power outages, and how to offer it all up Catholic
0:28.6	style.
0:29.6	Well, what are we waiting for?
0:30.6	Let's get going.
0:35.6	Hey, girlfriends, welcome to another week. Welcome to another episode of the Girlfriends
0:40.0	podcast. Coming to you very early on Tuesday morning in the dark, in the cold. I'm only doing
0:47.9	this because of how much I love you guys. This is proof, okay? We have no electricity in our
0:53.3	house. So I had great intentions of recording this
0:56.4	episode yesterday morning when we got up and there was no power. We had a crazy fall storm.
1:02.2	I don't know. I guess it went all the way up the East Coast. Maybe some of you have experienced
1:06.0	similar power outages or falling trees. A lot of people, gosh, I saw it all over Facebook, had tree damage
1:13.3	in their yards, in their homes, on their cars. Crazy storm. And it happened here too. We didn't
1:21.8	have any damage. Thank goodness. I think mostly because of that horrible Nor'Easter we had
1:26.1	at the end of last winter that pretty
1:27.7	much wiped out every loose tree we had on our property. We were pretty safe. So we didn't have any of those
1:33.8	issues, but we lost power. It's been since 2 a.m. on Monday morning. So I just was kind of waiting
1:40.9	the whole day for us to get power back because I don't technically need Wi-Fi to record the podcast, but it's very helpful and I keep my notes online and all
1:51.1	of that. So I was kind of waiting for that to happen and that never happened. So spent the day
1:57.2	yesterday just kind of in survival mode and driving out into town actually at Dan's
