We only find a rainbow in the curious meeting of dark and light, where dreariness meets bright hope, where earth is washed clean and then shines under the rays of the sun. / It’s easy to wonder about why there is so much evil in this world, or to wonder what’s the point of any of this? / Well, once upon a time there really was a flood. There was a time when God saw what had happened to his glorious creation. And He took action to cleanse the earth and to preserve everyone He could. / God looks upon this earth and sees the evil here. But He sees the goodness, too. / And He knows that in the curious meeting of dark and light, of dreariness and bright hope, of sinners washed clean and standing in the rays of His Divine Mercy, that it is *there* that we witness the glory of the rainbow. / When we seek God, and when we seek Mercy, the evil of sin and the goodness of God collide. And the darkness shall not be overcome. / This, my friends, is the point of all of the evil we must endure on this green - arguably now browning - earth. In witnessing evil, we must remember always that one day it will be overcome. And that wherever on earth that the darkness of sin and evil meets the light of Christ, we will see more clearly what is good, and can cling to it evermore. / “God said: This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature—every mortal being—so that the waters will never again become a flood to destroy every mortal being.” - Genesis 9: 12-15. / #covenant #rainbow #noahsark #arkofthecovenant #christianity #christian #catholic #catholicism #faith #hope #love #mercy #promise #sign #peace #peaceonearth

It always amazes me how the opportunity to celebrate life and to receive love and support can completely change the way a person views their pregnancy and experience of motherhood. This morning, two of our Mary Garden Showers chapters have the privilege of celebrating two beautiful mothers and two new little lives. We are praying they everything will go smoothly, and that the mothers they are privileged to serve will be able to feel the power and peace of Christ’s unfathomable mercy. And may that same peace be with each of you. Have a beautiful Sunday! @marygardenshowers #babyshowers #motherhood #moms #babies #peace #hope #love #mercy #catholic #catholicism #christian #christianity #catholicmom #christianmom #everymom

In May, my family is blessed to celebrate 5 birthdays! Only one of us - one daughter - has a birthday in a different month. So, we celebrate her unbirthday this month so she doesn’t feel left out. ❤️ Being a Mother if four children ages 5 & under is amazing, and yes, things are busy, and hard, and crazy, and beautiful - all at the same time. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Motherhood has changed my life and made me a better person more than anything else. If I could go back, I would probably choose only to have met my children even sooner in life, because they have been such an incredible blessing! I like who I am more now that I am a mother. (If that makes any sense?) And I have the best man at my side, my husband Benjamin. I used to fear becoming a mother. But in embracing motherhood, I’m not sure I’m afraid of anything at all anymore. So Happy Birthday to all of you celebrating a birthday this month! And Happy Unbirthday to everyone else! (And P.S. you don’t have to fear motherhood. But if you do, check out @marygardenshowers... we’ve got your back ;) )

Yesterday, this pile of folded towels brought me so much joy. It may have taken approximately the entire day to get it done... but it got me thinking. How often do we sell ourselves short and wait for physical accomplishments to bring us joy? As I look back today, the real joy yesterday did not actually come from folding towels. The real joy came from sitting with my 11 month old while she tried a new vegetable. The real joy came from watching my 4 year old start to read Audrey Bunny. The real joy came from watching my husband beam when he carried in a basket full of eggs from the coop. The real joy came from watching my 5 year old (finally) fearlessly attempt her spelling assignment. The real joy came from watching my 2 year old do his bedtime dance. Oh, and I also folded some towels. // What little win or joy are you celebrating tonight?

Guess what tiny percentage of food I’ve grown for myself (with my husband) in my lifetime... It’s not much! Find out in the stories feature. :) I’m determined to change this!

Spring is here! #arkofdivinemercyhomestead

This belonged to my mother, then it belonged to me, and now it belongs to my daughters. Three generations and one cross. But we know the cross goes back so much farther. Generation upon generation, reaching back through time, and reaching forward into eternity.
