I was walking through a store, feeling very down over a multitude of family problems. I was praying, I always ask God to send me a butterfly in some form that He is hearing my prayers. I turned to go down an aisle that said “clearance” & there facing me was a canvas tote bag with 9 beautifully colored butterflies on the front, at a price of $2.48 ! I was sharing the story with a good friend today & remarked about it having “9” butterflies on it & she said “Oh, for a 9 day novena” ! She then said “say one in thanksgiving for God hearing your prayer”.
“God honors faith, Faith honors God” !

 

1. Getting through my day without raising my voice to my kids (I ‘devoured’ your article about ‘yelling no more’ when your magazine arrived yesterday!).
2. Getting each of my 3 kids to tidy their rooms this morning.
3. Finding the time to curl make my oldest daughter’s hair wavy by braiding it while it was damp following her bath last night.  She’s wanted me to do that for several months! Love those un-hurried summer months!

 

1. Since mass last Sunday on the Holy Mother, I have taken time each morning to say three hail marys and meditate on mary.
2. I am a social services caseworker and this week I have dedicated myself to telling each client to have a good day at the end of our phone call.
3. Even though it was extremely hot yesterday, I played outside with my two year old instead of doing household chores.
