Powerful prayer to saint gerard

I've been saying this prayer for 6 years now- almost everyday. And I've been saying it because I like it of course. But today, suddenly as I was saying it I picked up on the wonderful power of the words in the prayer- in particular the lines... That we may raise up children to god in this life and heirs to his kingdom in the world to come" ... It's true! Our children whom we pray for arechildrem for god- how true as I hear my akshaya speaking of the Ramayana and ashwin saying palum theli thenum ... Through my children I am getting to know more about god getting closer to god.... 

Lesson by my daughter

I'm still feeling quite troubled by what happened yesterday. Saro and I fought over a very small thing and akshaya helped us see how foolish we were being. That was good but she was also apologizing for the most basic things like she thought she was responsible for our unhappiness. That was so troubling. I feel really guilty now. Such a small child she's taking such an empathetic view of things and is feeling responsible. I can't allow that to happen again. 

I love the way Ashwin calls out to us

Ashwin calls out to us with pure joy! To hear yourself called out to like that can only bring joy to the hearer and my don does that! 

He says Aaatha! With a laugh and smoke. Same with aaya and kanna maaama! 

We are so blessed! 

Moving house?

Looks like we may be moving house soon! 

The dream: 

A big house / almost as big as our current place!

Near my parents house

Be near good schools

Accessible by train and expressway

Have a good pool

Maybe have a tennis court:) 

Have a reasonable view 

room for a maid if possible. Or if not a room for a library again which can double up as kids room and maid's sleeping area.
