Quote for the Day

“May no one read sadness or sorrow in your face when you spread in the world around you the sweet smell of your sacrifice; the children of God should always be sowers of peace and joy.”

St. Josemaría Escrivá (The Furrow, p. 59)

    Gotta love that St Josemaria Escriva. He has such a way of going straight to the heart of it all, doesn’t he?

    What a challenge those words are!! I don’t always do such a great job of sowing anything BUT what is on my heart; I am so very transparent. Continued prayers for you, dear Margaret. May God give you the grace to sow joy in this time of sadness.

    Awesome quote. I’m going to ponder that one today.
    And, I got my Faith and Family yesterday and was so happy to see your article. 🙂 I am trying those brownies soon. You struck a chord with a chocolate-loving girl here!!

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. ♥
