O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; For Thou art blessed unto ages of ages.



Amen

{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}

~ Capturing the context of everyday life ~
Every Thursday, with Like Mother, Like Daughter!

{Pretty}
It was a pretty day
It was a wonderful feeling
and
That lady next to me is pretty awesome

{Happy}

Goofy kids!

{Funny}
There is a story behind this picture. 
Rose is taking cello lessons and her lesson from this week involved, her bow and life saver candies.  There is a certain way to hold a bow for the cello.  One makes a bunny with the hand and then grasps the bow just so.  She had to practice this position while holding the bow straight up (this would the 'rest' position). 
Her teacher had a neat way of making this practice fun.  She placed a hard, life saver on the very top tip of the bow.  If Rose was holding it correctly, the life saver would stay in place and not fall.
She then got to eat the candy.
Cool right?
Well not for Rose, who had just given up sweets for Lent.  She was NOT at all happy to have such a practice where, as she stated; "I have throw out a perfectly good candy!"
{Real}
Nothing was more real or more beautiful than what I saw my Rose do on this day!  She was a light for many people and made some think twice.

  1. Love your pictures. Poor Rose, having the temptation of candy is so tough - the devil hard at work but he was overcome. :)
