Family rosary and shadows
Colette was in bed by nine tonight and dad and I snuggled together to pray a rosary in the month of the rosary. We're working hard to develop daily family rosary as a habit in time for the kids to see it as the norm. We made it through two decades before Colette decided she wanted to join. We got out the wooden children's rosary that her God-father had given her as a baptism gift and she held it for the first time. So beautiful, that moment, realizing it marked the beginning of her relationship with Our Lady. Colette, I pray that you embrace her as your true Mother and use her as a means to grow closer to her Son.
As we sat on the couch praying, Colette turned and discovered something for the first time-her shadow. There it was, a little gray head, bobbing next to her on the couch. Entranced by it, she spent the next several minutes of the rosary cooing and blowing bubbles at her shadow-head and my hand. Sorry Lord, looks like she is already struggling with distraction in prayer!
