May this family be devoted to You more and more every day. Strengthen us so that we may joyfully and faithfully follow Your will for us.
Let us cling to the spiritual and release the temporal.
Guide us Lord as we seek a clean, simple, organized and focused life. Give us clear discernment of truly necessary possessions so that we may never be in the place of the rich official who was "quite sad, for he was very rich" (Luke 18:23b).
Blessings since this feast day last year:
Conception of new life
Cyst-free pregnancy
Healthy, joyful, exuberant toddler
January evaluation and raise for Tyler

Being debt-free for one month
Renewed commitment to living debt-free
Improved marital communication
Accountability of faults/weaknesses between spouses, that we may be purified, healed, forgiven and strengthened in virtue

Revelation of the clear connection between minimalism and Christ's call to live detached
Blessing of new Christian friendships
