WORDS OF THE WISE

How can you say there are too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers. - Mother Teresa

We are not called to be successful...only faithful. - Mother Teresa

Do not try to be anything other that what you are...and try to bet that perfectly. - St. Francis DeSales

Be content and make do with what you have. - My Mother

God does not call the qualified, but rather, qualifies those He calls. - ?

Don't forget to look for the JOY...it's all around you. - My Husband

There are 3 P's that I believe are necessary: Patience, Perseverance, and Passion. We need patience for our day to
day task, perseverance to keep going month after month and year after year, and passion to see the end result: a child trained in the way he should go.- Ruth, from Daily Divine Blog

OUR LITTLE HOME SCHOOL SONG LYRICS!

It's time for school, we're waking up
To start a brand new day
We thank you God for letting us
Learn this special way!
We make our beds and comb our hair
Eat our breakfast too
Then brush our teeth and help with chores
We know what to do!
We go upstairs to get our things
Making sure that we
Have a pencil and eraser and are ready as can be
So many things to see and do
We try our very best
Learning how to read and add or study for a test
We thank you Lord for giving us
Our home and family
We thank you for our special school
Where we are truly FREE
To learn Your ways and praise Your name
In everything we do
May each new day that comes our way
Give glory straight to YOU!

from JR Miller's "Homemaking":

“A good wife is Heaven’s last, best gift to man, his angel and minister of graces innumerable, his gem of many virtues; her voice his sweetest music, her smiles his brightest day, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety, the balm of his health, the sure balsam of his life; her industry his surest wealth, her economy his safest steward, her lips his faithful counselor, her bosom the softest pillow of his cares, and her prayers the ablest advocate of Heaven’s blessing on his head.”

MY LITTLE DISCLAIMER

I often try to provide BENMAKESTEN readers with links to interesting, helpful, thought-provoking, enriching, and humorous sites to support them in their family life journeys. However, common sense says that you will realize that I have not read EVERY item on EVERY site that I link here on my blog. Therefore, by linking a site, I am not validating, nor am I connecting myself to any doctrines, philosophies, statements of faith, political agenda, or other beliefs that you might come across while visiting there! Thanks for understanding that :) Furthermore, if you visit a site to which I have linked and you find subject matter that is anti-Catholic or anti-Christian in general, please let me know right away so I can remove the link.
Thanks!

Prayer for Our Nation:

God our Father, giver of LIFE

We entrust the United States of America to your loving care

You are the rock on which this nation was founded

You alone, are the true source of its cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Reclaim this land for your glory

and dwell among your people

Send you spirit to touch the hearts of our nation's leaders

Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom

Remind your people that true happiness

is rooted in seeking and doing your will

Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our land

Grant us the courage to reject the culture of death

And lead us in to a new millennium of life

We ask this through Christ, our Lord

AMEN
