Menu Plan: March 15 - 21 (Fourth Week of Lent)
So, you know how I was saying last week that it had been quite a crazy week and that the upcoming week was going to be awfully busy, too. Boy, what did I know? It's been a challenging time for everyone all over the world. We are trying to keep things as normal as possible, and we are fortunate that we homeschool, though Dominic is finishing his term at the college from home, online, and our homeschool co-op ended early, cancelling the end of session potluck. The girls' ballet has been cancelled, the library is closed down, there is no Sunday morning church, and we're looking out for each other here. After two weeks of scary and busy times, we are trying to create some normalcy. Our school work is taking a hit this week, but we need the time together to love on each other and make some good food and do some crafting together.
We are looking forward to the feast of Saint Joseph, and we are asking the Holy Family to pray for us. There's a lot of the Saint Michael prayer happening here, too. A friend shared that her priest recommended Prudence, Penance, and Prayer. It is a good time for those three.
