You may have noticed a new button/link show up on my blog sidebar for Small Steps for Catholic Moms by Danielle Bean and Elizabeth Foss. It is a little book that provides words of wisdom (from Scripture or a saint), a prayer, and an idea to put that thought into action for each day of the year.
The months are separated into themes: Joy, Simplicity, Sacrifice, Courage, Grace, Gentleness, Humility, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Gratitude, and Peace.
I loved the authors' intent for the book in the introduction. It can be used sporadically throughout the year, daily, or whenever you want to incorporate it into your life. Their intent is not to add stress to moms' lives, but to help us find balance between action and prayer.
I have just acquired the book and have been pretty sporadic with it so far, but I do hope to use it more frequently. The best part is that you don't have to be a mom to appreciate these Small Steps.
Small Steps for Catholic Moms, for me, is a reminder of what Mother Teresa once said,
"We cannot do great things, but we can do small things with great love."
