Sonlight Garden: Happy St. Valentines Day!

Happy St. Valentines Day!

How was your day? Did you get any Valentine goodies? I did. Terry gave me a very pretty floral scarf (I helped pick it out) and some chocolate covered strawberries. I am not sharing those.

Am I wrong?

I just think there are some things I shouldn't have to share with my kids. Chocolate covered strawberries are on that list.

Don't feel bad for them. They each received a goodie bag of Valentine chocolate and candy hearts. Have you read those candy hearts lately? If you don't speak in "text" they are hard to understand. Catherine just brought me a candy heart that said "I love EC". We are stumped.

I also received a box of chocolates from Florida, from my very first Valentine. Thank you Dad!! I Love you!

I also received a handmade rose from my little boy. It is the most beautiful rose I have ever received.You see, when you ask St. Therese the Little Flower to intercede for you on a special intention, and you receive a rose, it is extra special.

:0)

Hoping you all had a wonderful day!!

Sounds like a perfect Valentine's Day!! I just got on the texting bandwagon, but I have no idea what I love EC is! Let me know if you find out.

About Me

Hi, my name is Kirsten. I am married to my best friend and we have nine awesome children including our little saint in heaven, Thomas Joseph. We are Catholic, loving, living, and learning about our faith every day. We just moved to a fixer upper farm here in beautiful Kentucky. We also homeschool some of our children. I really enjoy COFFEE, reading, gardening, running, and knitting. I try to enjoy, laundry and cleaning bathrooms and sweeping floors. But what I really love is to be home, with my husband and children, living this life. This blog is where I write about the good stuff (mostly). Thanks for stopping by!

Prayer to St. Joseph

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH THE WORKMAN Composed by Pope St. Pius X O glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

A Considered Childhood by Elizabeth Foss

As much as I am able, every day, I will ensure that my child will: * Live the Liturgy * Experience loveliness * Breathe deeply: Fresh air and exercise * Serve others * Listen to, contemplate, and exchange ideas. * Develop expressive skills. * Practice logical reasoning. Math. * Receive focused attention and affection
