Therese’s Prayer book

Today I enacted a mandatory quiet time for the first 30 minutes while I was trying to get Muffin to nap (which by the way, she’s totally boycotting–not good). I told the other kids they could draw or do something else where they would be quiet.

Totally of her own initiative, Therese decided to write a prayer book.  (Our scanner is not hooked up currently so I’ll just type what she wrote as she wrote it.)

Page 1:”God loves us/ he made The sun and/ STars   God lovs us.”

Page 2: “God made/ God the Fathr/ God The son and/ Holy Sprerit Amen/ But just 1 God/ Amen.”

Page 3: “Dear ST Therese help/ Me to suffer/ like you Amen.”

Page 4: “Dear ST Rose/ And MY Gaurdiand/ ANgel help me/ Amen.”

Page 5: “St Maximilian Colbe/ help me to give/ Jesus My/ life. Amen.”

We weren’t officially having school time so I didn’t want to interfere with her thoughts. I only helped her with the prayer to St. Maximilian Kolbe since she wasn’t sure what to ask.

Our sweet Therese has really been a little angel this week. Yesterday when I asked her to do a couple of things, she said quite honestly, “Mommy, I don’t want to do that, but I will because I love you.” That really really made my day.
