Merry Christmas!!
“For a child is born to us, a son is given us;
upon his shoulder dominion rests.
They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero
Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.” Isiaih 9:5
Live a life that says “thank you”.
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.

Saints, Saints and more Saints
Here is an article from Fr. James Martin which I thought was a nice little follow up to yesterdays article about talking to your kids about the saints! Great food for thought!
