To eyes that do not see, it still seems as though the final dice are being cast down here in these valleys, on these battlefields, in these camps and prisons and bomb shelters. Those who are awake sense the working of the other powers and can await the coming of their hour. Space is still filled with the noise of destruction and annihilation, the shouts of self-assurance and arrogance, the weeping of despair and helplessness. But round about the horizon the eternal realities stand silent in their age-old longing. There shines on them already the first mild light of the radiant fulfillment to come. From afar sound the first notes as of pipes and voices, not yet discernable as a song or melody. It is all far off still, and only just announced and foretold. But it is happening, today. -Alfred Delp (A German priest sent to a prison camp during WWII.)

I am a mom of three girls and absolutely adore your mom through her books and her blog as well – thank you for sharing your life! I pray that God continues to bless and provide and open new doors of opportunity to allow you to pursue the dreams He planted in your heart. Sunshine

Sorry forgot to add this – the last post about the family traditions gave me some great ideas of stuff to start with our girls now while they are little – thanks for sharing. Sunshine
