It’s true! I desire to be a fool, a Fool for Christ.
Last Supper
I have been searching for the ideal picture, plaque….of the Last Supper. I desired something in my price range and not too large. I have limited wall space in my kitchen. I’ve been searching the thrift stores and yard sales.
I saw a gorgeous painting of the Last Supper at Costco, last Thursday. A traveling vendor was showcasing canvas artwork. She had beautiful images of the Immaculate Heart and Sacred Heart. I wish I could recall the vendor’s name. The Last Supper image was too big and definitely out of my price range, $170. Still, I was inspired.
I found a lovely image online when I got home. I still can’t recall where I found it. I’m almost positive that it came from one of the sources below. I’ll be sure to update my source once I find it.
I printed the image and decoupaged it to a tile. I used this technique minus the top coats. I did not want my image to bleed and I wasn’t concerned about sealing the ink-jet image.
Then I hot glued the tile into the roster frame.
Presto, my FREE image of the Last Supper.
Soccer Days
Sweetie and Sparkles started their soccer season. They play for the same coach but on separate teams. Their first games were on March 12, after the Nun Run.
This was Sweetie’s first game, ever! She was a bit nervous at the start of the game. She plays on a co-ed team and holds her own. She plays with strength and sheer determination. Gotta love her wristband.
Sparkles was eager to join Coach E for a second year. He is great with the kids and respects our family priorities. Sparkles is the complete opposite of Sweetie (in many ways). In terms of soccer, she plays with grace and a smile. She loves to use her head. She’s been working on scoring with headers. She perfects every move I show her. Sparkles didn’t play with her wristband because it was too big for her tiny self.
Dragonfly was happy to be outdoors. Papi was exhausted from his 1 mile run/walk. Nana put him to bed while Papa kept company with Sparkles. Rose relaxed since her game was canceled. Dad enjoyed his seeds while he nursed his aching feet from the 10k. I was still pumped about running with Team ALL FOR!
Just for fun! This is me at the end of my soccer career. I hung up my dreams to serve my family. Deo gratias!
Keeping It Real
I was feeling guilty for not having posted before pics for my Lenten cleaning. I struggle with doing it all. My home is usually the first to go. I try to do a quick clean in between nursing, homeschooling, cooking…but my home seldom stays this clean for longer than a few minutes, and it almost never gets this clean for regular company, only special guests.
It’s one of my many crosses. I strive to do better each day but often come up short. I’m thankful that I have a husband who always lends a hand and lifts me up to try again.
Here it is, my late night act of humility…..
Top 10 Facts About My Love and Me

4.

The spirit of the LMC is one of total abandonment to God’s holy will, child-like trust in His Fatherly care and readiness for service in profound humility after the example of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Slaves to Jesus through Mary.
10.
we trust that we were designed for each other and we give thanks to the Good Lord for bringing us together and offering us the graces to persevere through our own failings — to lead us to a life that glorifies Him.
“To me Jesus is the Life I want to live, the Light I want to reflect, the Way to the Father, the Love I want to express, the JOY I want to share, the Peace I want to sow around me. Jesus is my everything.” ~ Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
