"The world I live in is loud and blurring and toilets plug and I get speeding tickets and the dog gets sick all over the back step and I forget everything and these six kids lean hard into me all day to teach and raise and lead and I fail hard and there are real souls that are at stake and how long do I really have to figure out how to live full of grace, full of joy--before these six beautiful children fly the coop and my mothering days fold up quiet?
How do you open the eyes to see how to take the daily, domestic, workday vortex and invert it into the dome of an everyday cathedral?
Praying with eyes wide open is the only way to pray without ceasing."
Thanking God today for # 51-60

Oh my goodness. I'm ready to read the book all over again. Such truth and how quickly I forget. Thank you Maureen. Love you.
