The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

Rosary in the Garden

Earlier I wrote that I wanted to bring an uplift to my attitude and my life. Well on my way out the back door to water the garden I looked at this beautiful piece of art that was made for me and my family. Notice all the color reflected onto the window sill. I was inspired.



 To bring my new Rosary outside with me. Which is also a lovely handmade gift I received from a very dear friend for Easter. 



After I took these pictures I went in and printed out How to recite the Holy Rosary and sat the kids down and we said the first part of the Rosary together. James who is three listened as long as he could before he was off to find peas in the garden. After our short lesson I watered the lawn while I did the entire rosary. At time I could feel the lord walking next to me in the garden. I was filled with the holy spirit. I hope that I can say the Rosary everyday during this chore.  I learned two prayers today, well a couple more than that but these two surprised me. I will share them with you.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have the most need of your mercy.
AMEN.

Look at these prayers, we are praying for people who have the most need. The most need not the most devoted or the people with the most belief, we are praying for people with the most need. It is not solitary, we are praying for all people in the world to find the peace of our father. I feel like this is the right path.
