I have been MIA for a while. My sitter had to take some time off. So, I have been blessed to spend extra time with my kids. This time has been such a blessing. They are all at an age where it is a bit easier to go
places. We have done so many fun activities. We did our own little bible school and made Pope miters. The kids got to make their own giant sugar cookies.Compliments of http://www.holyheroes.com/ We went to the children's museum.Took a stroll downtown and went to a pretty cool popcorn shop and "Jesus store" I also took them to out to eat to "flower garden" Any guesses at the real name of the restaurant? The kidlets have enjoyed getting out. All have been healthy and it is so nice to have these times with them.
Later this week we plan to see Toy Story 3, make our own pizzas, and make/take cookies to our parish priests. Again, so happy. My business is slow. Stressed about that. But, as always, I cant keep worrying about it. I do know I have to step it up a bit. I am really trying hard to strike up that balance. I know what I have to do to achieve the career goals I have. But it comes at such a high cost. So, I pray.
Have you ever prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy? http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/mercy/dmmap.htm
There are many promises that come with the prayer and the novena. I had said several novena's months back for the health of my eldest son. When his fever came back, I just brushed it aside as his fevers are God's will. But, after the novenas, I was motivated more than ever to make a change in my boy's health.I decided (the Holy Spirit directed me) to take him to Mayo hold the lettuce. There we were given a remedy for his situation. Although, that is not how I--- I--- was looking for him to be healthy, it was how GOD planned to heal my boy. I was so blessed to see that work in my life and to notice it. I know that I have missed God's work in my life. I just try to be thankful everyday to him.
More exciting news, if you haven't gone to Clay Rosary Girl's website you are missing out. Beautiful work. I have ordered a few gifts for Christmas( never too early). I also ordered 3 rosaries for my kidlets. My plan is to say the rosary for each on of them every day on their own rosary. When they are older, I will give it to them to pray with. I am so excited. Take a look http://www.clayrosaries.com/. She also has a blog that is so neat.
Hope you have a blessed Monday. Peace!
