Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me
Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.

WOW. Is this close to you?
Close enough for us to be breathing smoke all of the time! 😉
It is just over an hour away, and it is the fire that my hubby is working at right now.
It is just about 12 miles our of Prospect, isn’t it? Those poor people! I hope that it doesn’t get any closer!
Praying your hubby stays safe…be careful having class outside since you’re breathing in smoke! 🙂
Our weather has been pretty nice here (mid to upper 80’s – quite unusually cool) so I can understand the desire to be outside.
The mornings haven’t been too bad at all… So that is our outside time. I am also running our air purifier to keep the house air clean. Thankfully we had quite a bit of wind last night which seems to have pushed the smoke a different direction. I hope it lasts!
fire camp is fun! yah!
those sure are beautiful pictures of a scary thing.
are they making progress on it? continued prayers for your hubby’s safety and the safety of his fellow fire fighters.
At this point it is still getting worse. I believe it is only 15% contained and about 8000 acres. I spoke with hubby earlier today and I guess there was lightning last night that started a few more fires. Our forests are super dry since we haven’t had rain in over 3 months.
Wow, that is scary. Continued prayers for your husband and family.

Thank you!
