“To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others.”
Saint Pope John Paul II

Our nest IS blessed. Not just by the physical gift of the 6 children pictured, but also by the gift of the lost baby not with us. We are blessed by the personalities and circumstances that helped us grow from selfish youths into mature adults who think much less of ourselves than we otherwise would.
Most of all, we are blessed by Christ the King, the God made Man whose majesty can only be glimpsed in the ocean behind His gifts. The numerous graces He has given may not be visible in a photograph, but they are there in abundance. Given and yet-to-be-given---there for the asking.
what a beautiful family!!

DeleteWhere did you get that sign?
