After years of having it recommended to me, I am finally trying to do the daily Carmelite meditations of Divine Intimacy. The two-and-a-half pages of meditations should take 30 minutes or more, but for now my only goal is to read them once straight through with a toddler and baby playing at my feet. I am trying to teach John that when I have this big black book, I am praying and he needs to be quiet.
The first two mornings John did well and today was morning number three. He was banging two long Duplo pieces on a contraption built of other Duplo pieces and said he was "playing the drums." I asked him to be quiet and reminded him that I was praying. He said, "I am playing music drums for your prayers, Mama."
Let the "Duplo drums" join the history of Gregorian chant and hymns as music for God's glory!
This is so incredibly funny to me because I remember when the boys were growing up and I would observe conscience development; they would often attach a positive spin on to a situation. So cute! love, mom
ReplyDeleteI love how children can put some things into a completely different perspective for us.
