"The highest form of prayer is to the goodness of God...God only desires that our soul cling to him with all of its strength, in particular, that it clings to his goodness. For of all the things our minds can think about God, it is thinking upon his goodness that pleases him most and brings the most profit to our soul."

Hi Jenna, I have four boys myself. I think we must have much in common. Look forward to reading more!
I love seeing your view wof our family! I love you!
Wes
I love seeing your view of our family! I love you!
I clicked over from Ann’s today. A little late – but there are so many to read!
First – yes, oh yes, from Julian of Norwich – so much wisdom from those who have one before us – amen.
My favorite from your thankful list is this one ... 309...packing heart shaped sandwiches in their lunch boxes (I never used to appreciate moms like you for what you do – but in reading so many – and blogging in this community – this love – this heart shaped samdwich love – I am daily just more and more amazed.)
God Bless and Keep you and your family
Oh, and Happy day after Valentine’s Day.
I remember the days of being thankful for the Letter Factory DVD too. That brought a smile to my face. You have a sweet, sweet family!
A very precious list!
