We were watching a Lord of the Rings movie marathon last weekend. Guess who fell asleep?

About Me
- Mrs. Treasures
- Charlotte, NC, United States
- Raising a blended family is a "call" from God. I almost rejected God's offer. I was scared of the implicit sacrifices of raising a large family. I deserved a better life. Period. But, what made me make a 360 degree turn in my way of thinking? It was God's special prompting. He let me know without doubt of the privilege that He has allowed me to prepare my entry to eternal life. To raise children not of your own, love them, sacrifice for them and nurture their souls so they can be men and women for God? It is a special mission designed by God for me. All I have to do is to remember that whatever I need to carry out this mission will depend so much on the graces that He will bestow on me. For I am nothing without Him. Their souls are more important to Him than finding solutions to their temporal needs. God will provide for us. He will take care of their shortcomings. All He wants me to do is to nurture these children so their souls will be led to Him. For He said, "They are precious souls."
