HOPE

Let nothing disturb you.
Nothing dismay you;
All things are passing:
God never changes.
Patient endurance attains all that it strives for;
Those who have God find they lack nothing.
God alone suffices.

St. Teresa of Avila

True Confessions...

Sometimes, I really like being naughty. I can't help it, but everytime I eat beans I have a little song going through my head. I couldn't resist teaching it to my children. "Beans, beans are good for the heart, the more you eat, the more you ..." You get the picture. Now, when the kids eat beans, they can't help but think of this little song and we all sing it together. Except for Gerald. He shakes his head in disgust. The other day, I had another little song from my childhood running through my head. Once again, I couldn't resist letting my kids in on this little diddy. "Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. Where is the groom? He's in the dressing room. Why is he there? He lost his underwear." Shameful really. But hearing your 3 year old sing it is worth it! This is Miriam's adaptation: "Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. Where is the broom? It's in another room. Why is it in there? It has lost it's underpants."
