We were standing in the Convent,
Some Sisters were around us.
We were asked if we would like a drink,
“We make our own wine here” they said.
“I didn’t know you were allowed to make wine” I replied.
When the Nun replied a smile came to my lips.
“In our lives Our Lord asks for our Poverty,
Our Chastity,
And our Obedience.
He never said anything
About Sobriety!”

There is actually an order of nuns in New York State who are self sufficient...including making their own wine!
I very much enjoyed the read and the clip! Thank you for sharing!
My love to Joyce and to you!
