{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, visit Soulemama to leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see.
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.
This is beautiful!
Thank you Catherine Anne! It was such a precious moment that I will remember always. My little guy had just smiled at me and said, "It's your birrrthhday mommy… Are you going to blow out all of your canndles?" At that moment I had a hard time coming up with something to "wish for" since I have been so very blessed.
Happy belated birthday! And, you are right, you are indeed blessed! +JMJ+
Whoa! Did the candles set off the fire alarm? (I'm only kidding; we're the same age.)
Happy belated birthday! What a beautiful picture!
Happy Belated birthday, God bless you!!!
