Divine Order the morning of Victoria’s exam

iStock_000008513122XSmallThis morning my daughter had an examination at 8.00 a.m. This is the one morning when:
1. We all wake up late
2. Shane’s school uniform is not ironed
3. My car has a flat tyre

PANIC!

But, it is also the morning when:
1. I breathe
2. I affirm Divine Order
3. Marlon, the gardener is working today
4. My friend Paula, whose son goes to the same school and who passes my gate each morning, is also running late
5. I call Paula and she picks up the children
6. Marlon changes the tyre
7. My daughter gets to her exam on time
8. I exhale and give thanks for Divine Order – and my faith!

Throughout all this, I observe my children. They are calm and cool, sitting quietly as they wait. I give thanks for their faith.

    Sistren Marguerite,

    Your children, with the inate wisdom of the young, were also observing you throughout it all. Your calm demeanor and your affirmation of the Divine Order allowed them to remain calm and cool.

    What a blessing we can be in the lives of our children when we stand firm and live the example of our faith. Your children are blessed to have a Mother who loves them.

    Bless Up,
    Lady Roots
