Month: July 2022 (Page 2 of 3)

Intentionally scheduling in one on one time with each child today & Andrew too!

“Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace in the world.”
–St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

There’s something special about riding horses with ones siblings, it makes a bond that will last a whole lifetime…& If you add in the training element, that is even more powerful.

Andrew caught some neat pictures.

My Dad is always mentoring folks…this young lady looks to me as a mentor.  It’s been fun working through the “cattle drama” from moving our pairs with her.  The children enjoy her influence/presence too!

Swimming lessons, strawberries, Musical, cattle work, oh my!

Today’s Meditation

“The glory of a good person is the evidence of a good conscience. Have a good conscience and you will always be happy. A good conscience can bear a great deal and still remain serene in the midst of adversity, while a bad conscience is fearful and easily ruffled. Only be glad when you have done well. Evil persons are never really happy, nor do they feel peace within them; for ‘there is no peace for the wicked, says the Lord’ (Isa. 48:22). Even though the wicked may protest that peace is theirs and that no evil shall harm them, do not believe them. For God’s wrath will suddenly overtake them, and all they have done will be brought to nothing and their plans destroyed.”

—Thomas á Kempis, p. 76

Quote of the Day

“Love your children. In them you can see Baby Jesus. Pray for them a lot and every day put them under Holy Mary’s protection.”

–St. Gianna Molla

Grandma Mary, who is 97 years old, is always listening to or reading something to help lead her mind to His (God’s) Truth… This is one of the fellows that she read.  Happy July & Enjoy this food for Thought 💭.
