As Father’s Day Approaches
I have been thinking about how much I love a certain man and how blessed I am that he is my husband. I often take him for granted. I love him because: 1. He believes in God. 2. He is a faithful Catholic. 3. He frequents the sacraments regularly. 4. He leads our family in…
