I think the Lord must have been very pleased with Sophie's efforts!<br /><br /> To be honest, I get bored sometimes during very long homilies :) I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it but it's true! Of course I don't dare tell Michaela that, she'd never let me forget it. I like short to medium ones that I feel in my heart. <br /><br />God bless!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-39406220858677572132011-07-30T22:48:31.366-04:002011-07-30T22:48:31.366-04:00Thank you, Victor!

...Karin,<br />I love when she does things like this :) <br /><br />Monday, Michaela went to a funeral with me at the parish I grew up in. The church has those old fashioned hat clips attached to the pews and when you snap them they make a loud noise. I don't need to tell you whether she snapped it or not, do I? ;) The nuns used to tap our hands when we touched those clips! Thankfully she only snapped it once. I think she was shocked by the loud noise it made! I'm glad she did it early before the funeral started!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-50091731724783888012011-07-30T22:39:34.667-04:002011-07-30T22:39:34.667-04:00Barb,

I didn't know that you are unable to sing - I'm sorry to hear that. That's really something to offer up because I know most people like to sing. I will sing for you, Barb - I love to sing for people and I often intercede for them in this manner. <br /><br />I absorbed a lot as a child, also. More than I thought!

(Lol!) You love music, too!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-27478763718967482622011-07-30T20:30:09.254-04:002011-07-30T20:30:09.254-04:00Mary, I love this story. I am also amazed at what ...Mary, I love this story. I am also amazed at what our children are absorbing. We don't always realise they are listening carefully to the homily or whatever. Our parish priest is about to leave for his annual holiday. One of the girls said, "I hope Fr Damien is coming to look after our parish for the next month. He gives great homilies." They are great homilies but also very long which doesn't seem to worry the girls!<br /><br />I wish I could sing better. This morning at Mass Sophie said, "Did you hear me singing? I got into a muddle as I didn't know the tune." I told her I hadn't noticed and I didn't think God would have minded in the slightest which is perfectly true!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter, Mary.Sue Elvishttp://www.sueelviswrites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-49888979697295225562011-07-30T14:09:37.433-04:002011-07-30T14:09:37.433-04:00Children are a gift from God.

I can just imagine you driving your car and singing. Do it for as long as you have a voice. God doesn't care how it sounds because He's looking at your heart. Sing one for me, too, because He has taken my voice away. I can talk, but my vocal cords break when I sing due to a neurological problem so I've stopped trying.Barb Schoenebergerhttp://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
