40 Days of Gratitude: Day Three

Today I am grateful for an order of Franciscan Sisters who are very dear to me and my family.  Their faith, holiness, love, humor and counsel have sustained us in so many ways.  Our children have grown up with this example of selfless love and joy, working alongside the Sisters on their farm, baking bread in their kitchen and playing games with them in their fields.

A genuine blessing in my family's lives, and I am grateful.
