Doing What I Should

This morning as I sat at the computer I wrestled with myself as to whether to write a thoughtful post to join Ann for Walk With Him Wednesday or to walk with Him by waking, feeding, saying morning prayers and teaching my children.
I chose to walk with Him by doing what He wants me to do and I know what He wants, because it is my vocation, the vocation given to me though the sacrament of Matrimony. This vocation is one I embrace and am so thankful for. Having grown up in a divorced home I knew from a young age that I wanted to be able to stay home with my children if I were to be blessed with them. So today my day has been filled with Him, in the eyes of my children, in a phone call from the oldest son, in the strong,loving voice of my husband telling me he would remember me at daily mass that he was attending. I am wrapped up,embraced and overwhelmed by Him.
