"How do we begin like this, caring for worms, and end like that, caring for no one but ourselves? O God, preserve my children’s humanity. O God, preserve mine."They say Saint Francis used to pick worms off sidewalks and move them to safety from being stepped on. It’s a cute story when we tell it but a radical life when he lived it. Imagine caring so much about the Divine spark in every living thing that the homeliest one received all your present thought and action, every single day, every single day, every single day.

“I found a worm! Can I kiss it, mama?” And I said yes because it couldn’t be any dirtier than he already was and I said yes because across our nation grown adults are dismissing the sanctity of the lives of children just like him and I said yes because I don’t understand how such a gnarled growth happens. How do we begin like this, caring for worms, and end like that, caring for no one but ourselves? O God, preserve my children’s humanity. O God, preserve mine.

Either Christ is in everything or Christ is in nothing and we preach with our actions every day which truth we believe.

Great cake! And where did she find that green sweater? I want one!
I checked the label this morning–I didn’t buy any of her clothes; they were all given to us when our house burned down. That one came from Old Navy–maybe there is an adult version!
Ooh. I’ll check and see if it’s still there. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will be on clearance now. (Sorry about your house, though. 🙁 )
I hope you find it! I appreciate the sympathy. There is a lot of blogging about the fire on here, starting in September 2011.
I love the cake, and the kid! LOL! Happy Birthday to Lorelei!
I found you through NaBloPoMo and I am glad I stopped by!
Thank you! I am glad you stopped by too, and I am going to visit you now. 🙂
