Thank you Dr John.! I’m reflecting and reading 2 days late bc I had my almost 9 y.o. Grandaughter for 3 days straight 🤪 then swimming with the grown one with an almost 2 year old…wonderful time, for real but I knew my patience wouldn’t hold out when the almost 9 y.o. wanted to stay another day 😇 Great reflection…Jesus help me🤗

I thought of you and your animal behavior degree🤷‍♀️ aren’t humans animals 🤗
As my German Shepherd was terrified of a storm last night.⛈

Have a Splendid vacation and my best to Elise. Let those little children wreck your peace..they are precious😇

Good morning, John,
You certainly gave me several very good laughs. My husband is nearly 900 miles away babysitting anywhere from 1-5 of our grandkids. They all speak English and he is still overrun at times. It’s probably bc ALL children are given “special powers” to create as much terror as possible. It is fun, funny and amazing to now see the little ones as reincarnates of my children.
In addition to ACM each morning I also read Bishop Barron’s reflection. This is a snippet…

“children haven’t yet learned how to look at themselves. Why can a child immerse himself so eagerly and thoroughly in what he is doing? Because he can lose himself; because he is not looking at himself, conscious of the reactions, expectations, and approval of those around him. The best moments in life are when we lose ourselves in the world and just are as God wants us to be.”

I’m rooting for you, John. Enjoy the magic and ALWAYS carry one, two 15 tissues in your pockets!!

A blessed holiday weekend to all and gratitude and thanks to all of our men and woman who protect us. God Bless America 🇺🇸!
