Joy & Peace

"We are at Jesus’ disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that’s all right, everything is all right. We must say, “I belong to you. You can do whatever you like.” And this is our strength. This is the joy of the Lord."- Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

Sometimes as a mom I struggle. I can go days at a time without even making it out of the house with you guys! This week has been one of those weeks. Between a migraine, teething, potty training, and the heat we have been stuck at home. At times like these I start to feel like maybe God wants more from me! I should be volunteering, helping out at church maybe? I have to stop and take a deep breath and realize that this is what God wants me to be doing. Where he wants me to be! I felt inspired by this quote from Mother Teresa! I must always remember we can do anything and everything for the greater glory of GOD!! Even scrubbing toilets, changing dirty diapers, doing dishes, and watching Jake and the Neverland pirates for the 9,235,412nd time!

I will do what I can to raise my babies and keep a good home and be loving and kind to my spouse!

I guess I am just feeling the love for Blessed Teresa of Calcutta today cause I loved this little gem as well!

 

"Joy is a net of love by which we catch souls."

Lately I feel like I have seen a lot of negativity. Negative and unsporting attitudes amongst fellow Catholics.... we all need to focus on being a joyful example and that is it! leave the judging to God and just be joyful and strive for holiness! AMEN!

true love

Joy!

 

 

"The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world."

We as mothers, have a tremendous job to do and I pray every day that I do it right! I hope that I am able to pass onto you guys the ability to be joyful! Find joy in anything and everything! God gave us everything for a reason!

Always look to Our Mother!

Love,

Mama
