Mom's Hope

I like to think of our home as the actual dwelling that we are preparing for the Baby Jesus. My hope is that by December the 15th we have our home 'immaculate' in a manner be-fitting of the efforts that Sweet Mary would make.
That means in twenty-first century terms that I would like all the clutter, de-cluttered - everything has a place and is in its place- or given away to those who could benefit. It means that all the returning students may want to try a little harder to keep their sleeping- personal spaces neat and tidy. I am dreaming about closets in order, drawers in order, nothing under or around the the beds. I have visions of a charming winter cottage worthy of any Christmas story book!
By the time we set out the manger for the beginning of the Christmas Novena on the 16th I want our house to be simply and sincerely an actual manger of love and 'immaculateness'. After all, God-the-Father-the Son and-the-Holy Spirit though it was only fitting! I have visions of the love glowing as we try to make our home fitting too. Love Mom
