Divine Mercy Sunday

For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

 Jesus, I trust in You!

MY REDEEMER LIVES

He is risen!!! Alleluia!!! Happy Easter!!!

Will you deny Him?

  

Let us not deny His suffering and pure love for us. We owe him everything.

We adore Your and we praise you Lord because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

O blood and water which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You. Have mercy on us and on the whole world.

I'm not ready

Call me crazy, but I am not ready for 70 degree weather. I am probably one of the only Minnesotans complaining about the nice weather, but it's not really the weather that has me upset, it is all the work that goes along with it. I am not prepared with summer clothes for the kids, and I am not prepared to be in summer clothes myself. I am not prepared for all the sand and dirt. I am not prepared for the slamming of doors and kids willy nilly going in and out as they please. I am not prepared for them to be more than an arms length or quick sprint away from me when they decide to bicker and fight; yes, I have a few fighters at the moment. Ugh!  Hopefully, you are enjoying the weather more than I am.

You Are Loved

Dear Child:

I just wanted to remind you today of how beautiful you are because there is a father of lies who will try to deceive you. He will try to tell you that you are not good enough, not attractive enough, not thin enough, not strong enough, not smart enough, not righteous enough, and that you are simply unimportant to Me.

He will try to tell you that you have broken one too many promises, that you have fallen one too many times, that you have lived one too many lies, and that you've been going in the wrong direction so long that it is pointless to turn back now. But guess what?

YOU DO NOT BELONG TO HIM. HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER.

I AM.

You see, you are My creation. My workmanship. You have been borne of My thought, every part of you placed together by My hands. You have My thumbprint upon you. You are a princess, did you know that? You are My child, the child of THE King!

I look at you and see a precious, priceless pearl. There is no ocean I would not swim, no mountain I would not climb, no price I would not pay to have you and to be with you and call you My own.

I already have.

I have done all that I could, given all that there is. I desire to be with you every moment of every day. How I long for you to talk to Me every day. My love for you never grows cold. My promises are never broken (contrary to what he might lead you to believe). My character never changes. And you, my child have been made in My image.

I love you dearly, unconditionally and completely. I understand every emotion that you have. I've been there. I count every tear that you cry.

And do you know what?

I even know your weaknesses and your failures and your fears. I know those hidden parts of you that you wish would go away. Those dark corners of your world that you stuff deep down, praying that no one will ever see. I have already seen them and they will not change my love for you.

Nothing will.

I love your heart and I desire all of it.

I just wanted to remind you today of how beautiful you are and how precious you are to Me.

With Unmeasurable Love,
Your Heavenly Father

Health Update

The kids are all doing much better; still a lot of coughing and nose blowing going on, but it is getting better. I have caught the bug, but not yet as bad as they have had it. It is so hard when they all start to feel better and begin to resume their usual high energy, high noise activities. Although they are recovered, I on the other hand have not, and now there is tons to catch up on. I don't even know where to begin. If anyone would like to come and clean my house and maybe organize it while you are at it, I would gladly let you. Oh and can you dip the house in disinfectant while you are at it? I will survive, I will survive, I will survive.....
