This was really a beautiful reflection, Mary. I feel blessed to have gotten to read it. Congratulations to your parents on 45 years. What a change they have brought to the world through their "yes's" each day.

I'm glad for you and Tim and your little family that things are coming along and feeling more peaceful. I love the severe mercy quote, such a great book.<br />May God continue blessing you abundantly.

When I get bogged down in the details of everyday life- when I find my house too messy, myself too impatient, or my children not obedient enough, this does put it in perspective. Life is a slow building- like your parent's marriage. I may not see all, not even most of the fruits in this life, but the effects are long. <br /><br />Congratulations to John Paul. Welcome to the Church, little buddy.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314850743157068793noreply@blogger.com
