Rebuild My Church
In the business of the morning, attempting to get my gaggle of children ready for school and mass, I forgot that today was October 4th, one of my favorite feast days. But it seems that even in the craziness of the morning, God was planting seeds for me to better embrace the message that He had for St Francis so many ages ago.
As I was attempting to make sure all of my children were awake this morning, I passed by our little library nook in our upstairs hallway. My 4 year old was sitting in the nook, looking at books. Books were strewn all over the floor around his lap. A book about William Wilberforce caught my eye. William Wilberforce was an English politician who was instrumental in ending the slave trade in England. His life story is told in the movie Amazing Grace.
