As a homeschool mom, this is pretty much my life every single day. You capture it well.

Thank you for this beautiful encouragement to allow ourselves to be slowed down and appreciate His work in life's stumbles.

Thank you for this exquisite piece of writing. Every word fits beautifully. In a recent reading of this “Our Father” some familiar lines re-written are: “...Feed us today, and forgive us, ... . I find those phrases lingering in me long after the prayer itself has ended. My gratitude to you and your sweet six- year old, Fondly, Jeanne Cronin

Beautiful! My oldest is just getting mature enough to really participate in prayer-and some days I’m in that same boat where I want to scream or just skip it because of the pace/effort. But God always finds a way to remind me of the work He is doing when I leave the door open. And a huge congratulations on being cancer free. God be praised! Finally, saw in another post that you’re an ND grad. Same here-Go Irish!
