Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I love Danielle Bean's blog and read it daily.
Today's post ~ "Let Sleeping Babies Lie" is so sweet I had to share it with all.

Blessings & Peace!

Here's another one by Danielle Bean.

Oh, how I remember those days! Days I thought weariness would overtake me. Days I thought I had too much to do. Days I thought were going too fast. Days I thought I did not have enough time to slow down. Days I thought would never end.

Annie will be 4 in December and how I miss those days and the excuse to retreat from the world...

Thank you Cay!!

I loved this line....."Then, when we lay down on the bed together, Raphael obediently nursed his Mama to sleep. "

My sweet little Renee is already 11 mos. old and of course if I look I can see the time slipping away......

Better to be in the moment.

Queen of Heaven.....pray for us!
