that fill the state’s bowers
with color and fragrance,
farm vegetables, and flowers.”

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.
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.

Great job boys!!!!
These are so pretty Jess. We did something similar, but I must say, ours aren't nearly as attractive.
I am SO doing this next year with Jacob. He will love it!
Where do you get those letter stickers? (The big ones.)
Thanks!
The letters are actually not stickers, but card stock punch outs left over from our Little Flowers Notebook Pages. I had purchased a huge pack on clearance from Wal Mart last year. (Like a pack of copy paper, but each page had a complete alphabet of punch outs, some had only one of each in larger letters and the rest were pages of multiple smaller letters.) A Cricut would be totally perfect for making these, but I don't have one… =)
Great art work. It looks like you have a little artist on your hands!
