reminders and free stuff!

2/18/2017

 
​I’m all about reminders.  I regularly make lists so I don’t forget important tasks.  I put activities in my calendar app and set alarms to remind me of important events.  I set the timer on my phone to remind me to pick up a child from somewhere or take the food out of the oven.  I’ve forgotten to do both of those things before and let me tell you, burned rolls are no match for the mental anguish you feel when you realize your child has been at art class for nearly 45 minutes past pickup time and you were just hanging out with grandma, said child the farthest thing from your mind.   And of course the sweet teacher is telling your child all the while that she’s sure her mom didn’t forget her, she probably just got stuck in traffic.  No, darling, mom straight up forgot.  Insert defeated emoji. 
 
If you’re anything like me, you need reminders of your faith in the everyday.  I mean, if I could forget my own, living, breathing flesh and blood minor child, how am I going to remember to keep Christ, whom I can’t physically see, at the center of my life? I do that in my home with art and other sacramentals.  A crucifix above the kitchen light switch helps me remember that Christ is the light of the world.  A fresco of the Last Supper blessed by Saint John Paul II hangs in my dining room, reminding me of the Eucharist and Christ’s great sacrifice.  Saint Joseph graces our mantel and to me is a great reminder of the dignity of work.  All of these items are a call to prayer and a call to do the work of Christ.

​I would like to share with you a little printable I made for my kitchen to remind me to call on the Holy Spirit throughout the day.  Please head over to the FREEBIES page to download and print your own copy.
