angels and the devil

ANGELS
today i decided that if it continues to pour, i'll skip mass. but if the rain stops, i'll haul all 3 kids and fly solo mio. the rain stopped at 9am. god was testing me. i was at crossroads. i looked to the heavens for a second then started the ardious task of washing up the kids and putting myself together. made it out of the house - 3 kids and a pram - at 10:25. all through the 4 mins taxi ride, i was praying for patience to manage the kids in church.

we got to church during the homily. causing a commotion as we got in, the parish turned to look at us. i took all their tiny hands and dunked it in the holy water for the sign of the cross. then quickly ushered the kids to the emtpy pew at the front row. i did not make eye contact with anyone. again, i prayed for patience as i took my seat.

the kids were angels. i swear, the best. singing and sitting and standing at the right time. paying attention. i couldn't have asked for more.


DEVIL
while i was ironing, he turns and asks,"have you put on weight?" love the honestly dude ... but timing is everything.
