From Nancy today... George surrounded by his brothers and sisters on his one month birthday across the country in Kansas City. In a week grandma will be with them to celebrate his baptism day on Sunday the 24th officiated by Archbishop Naumann! The excitement is building for this great day of coming into The Church and begin his lifetime journey of Faith!
Hector moments ago while his family was praying the family rosary before the big push begins for his Baptism day tomorrow! St Patrick's day/the second Sunday of Lent and Baptism day for baby Hector! He is such a precious little gift to our growing family and we love to share with him the seal of Baptism in The Holy Catholic Church!
Evie at the rosary pointing to Jesus in the womb of Mary at the Visitation while we prayed the joyful rosary today. She makes grandma giggle in the middle of prayer... joyful I guess. I love the words of the first reading today... especially when I am surrounded by 6 little ones -
"you are to be a people peculiarly his own, as he promised you;
and provided you keep all his commandments,
he will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory
above all other nations he has made,
and you will be a people sacred to the LORD, your God,
as he promised." Dt 26
I had Patrick come up to invite me for breakfast this morning with a milk mustache, which he then launched into the types of mustaches he could make... "milk, water, hot chocolate, and buggers." Yes, we are peculiarly his own!
Basking in the sun praying for the many intentions yesterday with my helpers before the dog walk, which happens three times a day here. Praying for my parents, who are both ill now. Good results and we are hopeful they can both return home to recover together with the help of family close by. John at Mayo for eye issues, and awaiting his results early next week. And prayers for son-in-law, Paul , who lost his grandma Mary yesterday... she was an amazing lady of great Faith!
Joy with Great grandma Mary! Paul wrote:
My Grandma Mary passed away yesterday, and I truly can say with confidence that she's in heaven. She lived her life with that goal in mind and was spiritually a rock for the family and those she came in contact with. I'm saddened that I won't get any more Grandma hugs or cookies. At the same time I am very at peace knowing that she has met her ultimate goal. As before we all can know that she's watching out for us and that she is in a clearer place now. Rest In Peace Grandma.
My room now is in the large closet... surprisingly quiet and filled with great Saints to hang out with! I slept in today as I wasn't right at the bottom of the stairs when they wake up! So nice!
My prayers were interrupted and filled with distractions, but they were constant dot, dot, dot, dash, half a Hail Mary here and there and bringing to mind the many in prayer...
Peace and quiet in the middle of the storm! Talked to John and Nancy in the midst of prayer... LOVE the Lord's hand in control after I repeatedly placed all the needs in His hands! Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
Sunbathers!!! It is shining again today!
The other grandma/BaBa in Kansas City with the new member of their family, too!
The other grandma is here, too... I have yet to capture her at the right moment... Awake with the saints over our shoulder, which happens often here, and how we love and need it!
