Sweet Sixteen

by | Mar 7, 2008 | Happy Birthday | 5 comments

What a great age! Turning sixteen is such a magical birthday, second only to twenty one. How I looked forward to reaching sixteen and being able to drive – a milestone year for sure. It is a year that brings much to look forward to.

Well, today is my dear twin sister’s 16th Birthdays!

Happy Birthday JoAnn and Mary!!

It seems like just yesterday you were turning “seven on the seventh” and getting ready to be flower girls for our wedding! They were (and still are) SOOO cute and sweet!

(My little sisters were the cutest flowers girls! Left to Right: JoAnn, Julianna and Mary)

You both mean a lot to me, and I am proud of you both!! I love you both so MUCH and hope you have a wonderful 16th birthday!!!

Here’s a couple songs for you girls today!!! See you at the rink! 🙂

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
