When we are grieved at our powerlessness to do good, our only resource is to offer to God the works of others. In this you see the benefit of the communion of the Saints.
–St. Therese of Lisieux, Counsels and Reminiscences
I hope that you are all doing well.
God bless…

About lamehousewife
poetry, articles, thoughts, and quotes... on a quest to be authentic in my motherhood, sisterhood, and daughterhood, but i can tend to become Juvenalian sometimes, maybe in writing but also in life, reading Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as if i were hearing a friend speak to me about the how ridiculous some ideas can become, especially when they begin to drift into reality, mocking all of us really... i identify with Mary Magdalene, James, and Peter and am extremely grateful for that woman who said, "Yes!"...oh and i can be pretty lame...blessings to you, dear reader...pray for a single mother, her children, and the father of her children today!

it was a good day here, and hoping your day was good also!
Actually, my son’s chameleon died today. He was pretty sad as were the other boys. Just one of those days, I guess. God bless you, sister…
i am sorry to hear, are they going to get a new one?
Probably not. I think we will wait awhile before investing in a new pet…
What beautiful quote. I hadn’t heard that one before. Thanks for posting.
I hope you’re managing to juggle everything…..at least, most of the time.
I am trying. I hope that I can pass on what I am learning to you all soon. God bless…
The elegantly beautiful simplicity of Saint Therese’s spirituality is power-full. It grows on the soul and garners depth the more we let it sink in and try to live by it. I am convinced more and more each day of this “Little Way.” Thanks for sharing this!
You are welcome Biltrix! Thank you for stopping by. God bless…
