With an in-the-trenches feel to it, this book is giving me practical ways (recipes for life) on how to live my vocation as a mother and still grow closer to God.
I started it originally about a year ago and set it down about half way through. I picked it up again the other day and with it, a pen. Now that I am scribbling my own notes and underlining like crazy it is really beginning to sink in . My first task has been to initiate a regular morning prayer time. I was encouraged by her quote from the Catechism “But we cannot pray ‘at all times’ if we do not pray at specific times, consciously willing it.” (CCC 2697). This is a Catholic mother of 5 who has been there and managed to live the vocation of wife and mother while bringing God’s grace into her home.
Now, on to chapter 2!
