Merry Christmas!
Since love’s divine, celestial breath
Is all I need my heart to bless,
What matters life, what matters death?
Love is my peace, my happiness!
– St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
Wishing you all a Blessed and Joyful Christmas!

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.
Beautiful family you have there! The kids are getting so big . . .
My daughter had her baby on Christmas Eve – I am a grandma!!
I hope that you and your family have a holy and happy Christmastide. What a great family photo!
A very happy Christmas to you all. And thankyou for the blog, you have no idea how helpful and uplifting it is!
Congratulations Angela! How exciting!
Thank you Christine! We had my aunt snap a couple pictures for us at my parents last weekend. Bud wasn't smiling in any of them (and I am still looking extra tired from this past month) but it was the best of the bunch 🙂 I'm still working on getting out our Christmas Cards this year! I hope you have a wonderful Christmastide too!
Thank you Rachel! 🙂
