MONDAYS

MONDAYS

We usually hate Mondays....on this day we go back to work after a weekend, we bring the kids to and from school again....we anticipate the traffic, the work load, the expenses...and we are exhausted even before our day officially s

tarts.

This morning as per our usual practice I bless Mary Nicole, Niccolo and Lizzie before they leave the car. There were extra-blessings today because it was the periodical exams.

As Lizzie is only in Kinder 2, I, and Dinah, bring her directly to her classroom. As we were about to leave, Lizzie runs to me and asks me to bless her again...so I said ....

"God bless you and keep you....God make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you...God lift His countenance on you and give you peace. May God listen your prayers and may He answer you when you call on Him. May he help you with your test, may He give you the concentration that you need. May he protect you from all forms of evil, danger and harm and illnesses. May He always remind you that we love you so much and may He also make you feel His great love for you. I love you baby." ...And then I kiss her...then she flashes me her sweetest smile and says..."God bless you too my daddy. Love you!"....

And then Monday isn't so bad anymore!
