9 Years of Parenthood.

It was another 4am awakening for our biggest two, as a little sister shared in the excitement of her big brother's 9th birthday. They tiptoed downstairs and started their day hours before the rest of us did.

It's just as well that we were planning to let our big girl take a day off school too. She would have fallen asleep in class! We went to an indoor playground and had a super time.

Happy birthday, my dear boy. You are the one who made us parents. This day means more to me than mother's day ever could.

The husband and I are preparing to consecrate our family to Saint Joseph (earthly father of Jesus), i.e spiritually place our family under the care of an important person in heaven. More and more, I see the wisdom in seeking the prayers of this Saint who is a light in the darkness of today's moral and spiritual famine.

9 years of parenthood have made us all too aware that this is not a journey we can undertake alone. We need the grace of God and as many spiritual weapons in heaven's arsenal as we can get to have a fighting chance. St Joseph is one such weapon. 

To whom shall we go? 

Ite ad Ioseph! (Go to Joseph!)
