Small Things With Great Love

“St. Teresa gave her life to the poorest of the poor,
She brought the love of Christ to the easy to ignore, 
Chugga, chugga, choo, choo!
She heard the call while on the train,
the Missionaries of Charity would help to ease their pain.”
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Missionaries of Charity Doll Habit from The Little Habit
My girls are amazing! While I slept from 2:00-6:30 pm yesterday (I finally got some of that extra sleep I’d been praying for… I just couldn’t keep my eyes open following the two shots the doctor gave me to stop an allergic reaction to a wasp sting/bite that caused my face to swell… Ouch! Thankfully my 18 year old was around to drive me to and from town and then take his sister to the orthodontist.) my girls baked and decorated Chai Cupcakes for Mother Teresa’s feast day!

    Yes, I'm fine and feeling back to normal. Thank you! I won't be going out on the deck without my shoes on again though 🙂

    Sorry about the wasp/bee sting. When we go out we try to cover up as much as possible. Love the aprons. Joan

    Oh what sweet girls you have…their cupcakes are lovely…they are both so talented like their Momma. I hope that you are feeling much better from that wasp sting. They can be terrible. Our son was stung coaching college football a few ago and unbeknown to him and us– he also was allergic to bee stings and had a severe reaction to the sting. Thankfully there was an ER very close by. The swelling happens so quickly. His eyes actually swelled shut right away. He now carries an Epipen with him in case of an emergency…Such a blessing for your son to be home and able to help get you to the doctor right away and help with errands while your sweethearts were in the kitchen baking special treats for their siblings. Take Care.

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.
