It seems that one of the biggest events in confirmation preparation in this country is the letters of support to be given to the confirmation candidates during their mandatory retreats.
I have three such letters saved on this blog:
Confirmation letter to my daughterConfirmation letter to my fourth sonConfirmation letter to to my third son
I've asked my children what they remember about the letter they got from me and their dad, and also what they remembered about the letters they received.
The answer was not much, or at least nothing specific. In general they were happy to have gotten a bag full of letters and there was a sense of feeling loved and supported. I guess that's the main thing - for them to have a sense that this is an important step in their spiritual growth, and that people they know, love and respect have taken the time out of their lives to let them know that!

The baby with the piano is truly a priceless picture! I lost my mom in April and so many days the 8 month old does something and I think , "Mom would love that" . Thanks for sharing , that really struck a chord in my heart today ! Blessings , Lora
ReplyDeleteThank you Lora. It's a hard thing to lose your mom. I don't know if we ever really get over it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the baby at the piano. It is not surprising that music is a part of her life.
ReplyDeleteBut then...
A concealed carry permit? Why do you need one? Your neighborhood is much worse and you are willing to kill someone rather then move?
I am a very good shot, and have been shooting for years and years. I have pepper spray and a good dog.
More then one policeman has informed me that carrying a gun puts me more in danger because I would most likely hesitate and be overtaken. Then the other person would have the gun.
The other thing that could happen is that I might mistakenly kill a family member who "surprises" me.
I believe in the second amendment. My husband, son and son in law were all trained on how to "shoot to kill" in the military. I leave that stance up to them. My daughter was as well, but she, like me, tends to be a bit more morally "Christ law" then" Judaic law".
Zombies- well, I figure I am immune since I am immunized from everything thanks to the military ;)
