Overheard this morning...
Jim, exasperated: Jacinta, WHERE did you put your tennis shoes?
Jacinta, calm: I put them on the rack......in Belgium.
Ummm, Qiu Qiu, that was four months ago.

and the lessons I'm learning on the way
"You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God."
-- St. Jean Vianney
-- St. Jean Vianney
I'm blessed to be married to my own Mr. Knightley and to be the mother of five fair lasses and one bonny prince (aged 8-18). We are firm believers in the merciful love of God and the boundless riches of the Catholic Faith, an openness to life through both conception and adoption, home education lived and breathed throughout all of our days, and pizza and ice cream on Saturday nights.
Mary's
deep humility,
lively faith,
blind obedience,
unceasing prayer,
constant self-denial,
surpassing purity,
ardent love,
heroic patience,
angelic kindness,
and heavenly wisdom.
Amen.

LOL! At least they were put away!
I love Jacinta! However, on a more thoughtful note, I was reflecting today about how a child's life is similar to how ours will be in eternity: 4 months? 4 minutes? It's all the same to them...
