Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.

Thank you for this simple but beautiful reminder of God’s love. Thanks also for your continuing prayers for Karen who is facing a really tough time. I have told her of your prayers and she is so grateful.
