Celebrating the 4th of July {pictures from the party}

by | Jul 6, 2012 | July 4th | 4 comments

It was a lovely evening, filled with great friends, delicious food and desserts, a special prayer for our government before dinner, and fireworks.  I hope you all had a very happy 4th of July too!

    The picture of your daughter holding the flag in front of the playground shouts "America". Beautiful.

    Your photos are gorgeous as ever! Love the sparkler ones especially. I also admire the way you set up everything so nicely for the buffet. That's a lot of work and you are making special memories for your family and friends. Thanks for sharing, Jessica.

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.
