One of My Favorite Prayers

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

-Amen

Sydney Digs Santa!

Shyness is not a word in Sydney's vocab....especially when it comes to Santa. She had no problem taking this picture, at her SISTER'S classroom Christmas party. Ironically, Riley refused to pose....

Daddy's Girls....!

My friend Tasha told me about this app for my iphone, Instagram. You take a picture w/ your camera phone and then can add different effects to the photo through this app. I took a few while sledding on Christmas day, and I kinda like how they turned out! The girls had a blast-and I really like the picture of the 3 of them with the horizon behind them!
