Small Successes 3

FaithButton

  1. I nursed my sick baby 'round the clock for three days straight while my husband was out of town.
  2. kept the other 7 kids  fed, warm, and safe.
  3. I read aloud and listened to oral narrations; I got them to Mass and I prayed with them.

That's pretty much all I did. I managed to ignore [mostly] the voices that insist this isn't enough. For those three days, it was plenty. Small things with great love.  I loved well.

What are your successes this week? This is a great exercise in holding ourselves accountable and patting ourselves on the back. I've found myself taking a good look at what "success" is in this family. It was worth a cuddled up conversation with my husband. The  internet can be a source of support and encouragement. Let's encourage one another in our small successes. Share them at Faith and Family Live!

We all want to DO something...

Michael collapsed this morning at the gym and was not able to be revived despite the efforts of EMTs and hospital personnel.

We are devastated and beg your prayers.

Many thanks for all of the prayers and notes. It is overwhelming. Many have asked what they can do of a material or concrete nature. All I can say is to simply buy his books. Not from me, because I am in no position to fill orders, but from anywhere else.  He long ago promised God that he would give all the royalties of The How To Book of the Mass to the children’s college funds, which he did faithfully.  It is in good shape because of that. Buy them, read them, and give them away to others. Spread the Word. That is what he was all about.
