Of all the pictures taken on Sunday - about 200+ - this is the photo story of a picture of LIFE! Grandpa juggling 2 boys in his huge hands - one very content to be close to grandpa while the other is melting down. I with the 3rd one screaming at the top of his lungs and ready to jump free while the bigger boys, who are brothers to one of them are all in a state of fatigue at this circus!
Ask me if I am happy to have a reasonably quiet home now - just me and my dad for most of the day with our work of prayer. We did manage to get most of our prayer in during the huge gathering of our family together over the last 2 weeks coming and going, canning and playing and ups and downs... pictured above!
My two oldest grandchildren are both in high school now and no longer going to HRS. Such a huge step for them, and so different from what could have been before this virus changed everything that pertains to school. Not full time for either of them... Simon loves math, science, music and plays. He has been a wonderful willing and able helper on the farm, too! Mary is great in every subject, plays base clarinet in the marching band and swims with the swim team. She is also a goat farmer now with a enterprise of breeding meat goats. Two great leaders of our 19 grandchildren, and to their younger siblings of which there are 4!
We love you!!! Bless-bless
I am feeling groggy today after getting up in the middle of the night for my hour with Jesus in adoration. I did not sleep, but placed each member of our two large families in the monstrance with Jesus. It is over 250 with those that have passed away included.
What a delight to find Psalm 139 as the psalm for mass today! Reminding me that the Lord is within me and understands me better than I myself!
Responsorial Psalm PS 139:1B-3, 13-14AB, 23-24
R. (24b) Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
Truly you have formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother’s womb.
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
Probe me, O God, and know my heart;
try me, and know my thoughts;
See if my way is crooked,
and lead me in the way of old.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
Our youngest member is Birdie Barbara who is 4 months, and she is such a gift of new life supreme and brings to life the words of Psalm 39! "I give you thanks for I am fearfully, and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works."
David loves the little ones!
The calves were weaned off the cows yesterday around here - a lot of mooing going on!
The cows up at the gate looking for their calves - I know that Ruth and Paul's place there are a lot of bawling calves for their mommas!
John and his baby girl stopped in for a visit and a nap.
Dominic starting Kindergarten at St Maximilians in Delano! LOVE!
The older two are in 3rd grade and second grade - have a great year growing in knowledge and in Faith in Jesus and His Bride, The Church in your domestic Church/family!
John and Bobbi with their 2 babies... prayers please for John to find his path and job, We know that the Lord has a plan! The journey continues with a wonderful wife and 2 children... now we look to you, Lord!
O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;

There is not a lot flowing today in my mind, but I am assured that the Lord understands my thoughts from afar. I also know that He is dwelling in me and wants to use me this day. I am yours, my Lord! Bless-bless, Barbara
