Sadly we have more Funerals than Weddings at our church, well, really not that sad for God’s children, but, we finally had the occasion to take our big girls to a wedding. They don’t remember ever having been to one before. I think I was pregnant with Clara the last time Lily and I went to one together. Anyway the three of us got to go a couple weeks ago and watch “Daddy” marry a couple at our church.

I call our story a “Love story” and it is.
But some things about Love that I should say, for my babies if they ever read this….
Love is not something you “fall into”. It’s something you decide to do.
It’s not something you’ll always feel, but something you should always strive to give.
Love is a commitment to give of yourself over and over again. It’s the ultimate Servitude. It’s hard, it can hurt but it’s worth it.

It’s brewing season at the parsonage.
Phil gets the babies to help out as much as they can, we like to train them young.
They love helping Daddy wash the bottles and amazingly, so far we’re shattered glass free. That’s why I stay out of this.
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese? What Kraft Macaroni & Cheese?
We don’t buy in bulk and have that junk in our house?!

Wonderful and Glorious Fall is coming! I’m very ready for this season, my favorite, so I get pretty excited to observe these Autumnal or September Ember Days, (Wednesday the 18th, Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st). What are Ember Days you ask?
“The Ember days, which fall on a Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday of the same week, occur in conjunction with the four natural seasons of the year. Autumn brings the September Embertide, also called the Michaelmas Embertide because of their proximity to the Feast of St. Michael on September 29. Winter, on the other hand, brings the December Embertide during the third week of Advent, and spring brings the Lenten Embertide after the first Sunday of Lent. Finally, summer heralds the Whitsun Embertide, which takes place within the Octave of Pentecost.” That comes from HERE
Being pregnant most of the year and because really I’m just not that disciplined, I’m not one to observe Fasting and Penance which traditionally in the Roman Church are emphasized during these days, but I do like to use this time to teach my babies to give thanks to God for His creation, to stop and notice the changes taking place in that Creation, reflect on what Season is passing and prepare for the next Season.
