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.

Hi Jessica 🙂 This is too cute!! Just requested the book from my library. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy Fall, Lori

What a great idea! Do you spray it to keep it?
2016-09-23 19:55:50
I didn't spray them. I suppose we could have sprayed them before using them for the craft (or maybe decoupage them?) to preserve the color, but we'll probably just keep/display their finished craft pages for a little while and not save them… we'll just save the pictures this time! 🙂

My kids are begging to do this. Thanks for the inspiration and mch love to your sweet family.'

So pretty and fun! Unfortunately, here in south Louisiana, we have green leaves that just turn brown, die, and fall to the ground. No color changing to speak of! Maybe we need a road trip to go find FALL!

So cute! I love how they are each so different too. Great job to your children! Fall is my favorite season, but so far still summery here. I have a super cute knitted pumpkin cloth giveaway going on right now from a lovely etsy shop, in case you might be interested in it. You always give so many opportunities for great giveaways that I just wanted to share. :). God bless!
