One part that always strikes me is when he says that we are called to be holy not in spite of, but because of, all the demands on our time and energy and patience. I felt like such a failure that day, because that one line just kept running over and over in my head...<BR/><BR/>Thanks to both of you for your encouragment.The Herring familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693214404821651082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37523231810077835.post-62003529907776703982008-08-01T15:16:00.000-07:002008-08-01T15:16:00.000-07:00Carrie - here is a good quote I found in the book ...Carrie - here is a good quote I found in the book Holiness for Housewives by Hubert van Zeller "If this morning is going to be of any use to God, it must be spent in a way that shows that I accept every moment of it as coming from His hand. It is not so much that I must sanctify it as that I must let it sanctify me."<BR/><BR/>And don't you just have to laugh at the things we said before we had kids? How we just thought they would sit quietly while we were in Adoration or Mass?<BR/><BR/>And wouldn't it be nice if we could set up our own terms of how to achieve holiness?...But these little people, they have their own plans of how to make us holy! :)<BR/><BR/>I love you Carrie!<BR/>-CheriThe Mallahan Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741035590260003603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37523231810077835.post-84288445277869579582008-08-01T09:22:00.000-07:002008-08-01T09:22:00.000-07:00Sometimes I feel like the Lord is telling us "Ther...Sometimes I feel like the Lord is telling us "There's more than one way to spend time with Me" and that sometimes the best way to spend time with him to spend a day with our children or loved ones knowing that it is He who has given them to us to take care.Michelle Zhanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11855868862506698155noreply@blogger.com
