The Weird and the Wild

When my oldest son was visiting at Easter, he and one of my daughters shared some fond memories of a pet ferret we once had (whose untimely demise I did not mourn), and unbeknownst to me, offered to pay for another one should said daughter ever wish for it.

Blessing for Moms
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Sunday, May 08, 2011
Hope your day is filled with your favorite things!
Let’s all join in prayers of thanksgiving for the gift of our mothers and our motherhood today:
Father in heaven,
grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you 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 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.
