So Little Time

December 16, 2010 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Motherhood, Spiritual Growth 2 Comments

As you wait (patiently) to hear the winner of the book give-away, please read this beautiful post by fellow mom blogger Eileen Smithdeal: Warming Up to God.

You’ve heard it before but not quite like this. Such a lovely reflection, and so helpful to me during this (mentally) very busy third week of Advent.

“And why is getting closer to God painful? Our fingers are numb to the cold, just as our hearts become numb to the things of God…”

    Hi, Margaret!
    So nice to meet you in cyberspace:) Thanks for linking to my blog, so I could discover your blog! Meeting other Catholic mothers and reading their blogs has been such a huge blessing and joy in my life. God Bless You!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
