Yes Lisa - hope all is well. Sounds like some real R&R might be what you need. It certainly has been a trying few months. We'll say some extra prayers for you tonight!!
Speaking of prayers - so my boys go to a Catholic School. Yesterday, some young men who are in school to become priest (Seminarians) came to talk to the children about what it is like and I guess try to drum up some interest in the priesthood.
Well, we get in the car after school and I begin my usual "So how was your day...routine".
My youngest said (with a bit of an attitude), "MOM! Will you please stop talking. I am trying to pray!".
I resonded, "I'm sorry - what are you doing?!" (Thinking - this is not like him to pray as soon as he gets in the car....gee...has my driving been scaring him????)
He says, "I promised the seminemineminems (seminarians) that every time I had 30 seconds, I would say a Hail Mary to make this a better world"
Floored, I responded, "Ok, sweetie, you tell me when you're done"
To which he closes his eyes, folds his hands and begins praying.
What a moment.
Then..... when I was permitted to speak again...... I asked them both, "So are ya gonna become priests when you grow up?"
The BOTH said, "Yep! I think so!"
Just wait until ya meet these two!!! I think God has His work cut out on these two!!!
