A CHILD WHO CHOSE CHRIST OVER SWEETS
Servant of God Catharina Iwanaga Mori
---
Today is the death anniversary of the Servant of God Catharina Iwanaga Mori. She was a Japanese 5-year-old child who is being considered for beatification as a martyr. She was imprisoned during the time of Christian persecution in Japan. One day, a soldier offered to give her sweet cookies if she said she hated Christ. Though she was hungry, she replied, "Oh, no. Then I cannot go to heaven. There are much sweeter cookies in heaven."

Loving Servant of God Iwanaga Mori, holier than so many adults, please pray for us to overcome the temptation of gluttony. We would prefer to eat the sweet cookies of Heaven over those on Earth, so please pray for us to gracefully overcome these temptations as you did. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Time invested in your kids pays greater dividends
than the distractions keeping you from them.

Enjoy it Mama.
They won't be small for long.❤

Husbands, God's purpose for your wife is to be your helper--to help you fulfill the work God has set before you. However, too many men suppress and ignore their wives counsel in an effort to be more manly but, as a result, they simply become half the man God intended them to be. Husbands, your wife's reminders to pray with her, or to spend more time with your kids, or to not work so late, or to lead your family, or to correct a character flaw is not nagging, it's her doing what God designed her to do.
The fact that we need help from a woman isn't because we're broken, it's because we're broken without it.
