The more I read this book, the more I am amazed at how mirrored my home life is to Elisabeth's. I offer up daily all blessings (these include the crosses He sends to me) in thanksgiving and praise to Him for everything He has done for me past, present and future. Of course, Elisabeth is one better than me. She tried not to let on about her problems, and I can't seem to whine enough about them. This is one area I need to improve on.
Elisabeth tried to never offend anyone while professing her faith. My kids think I'm a crackpot if I suggest they offer up their problems. I pray daily for them, also. Elisabeth states on pg. 26 "to live is to fight, to suffer, and to love." Hopefully, I am following this advice.
Ruth once told me that her spiritual advisor said that we should read and meditate more on the Bible during Adoration. Elisabeth made the comment about meditating on the Bible and understanding it better (pg.34). I am also reading a book about the Rosary right now and it states in there that we should say it slowly and meditate on the mysteries. It takes me almost the whole hour just for the Rosary now, but I feel the Lord working in me even more these days. Since the mysteries are based on the Bible, I kill two birds with one stone.
