The Blessing of Hard Work

Hard work, Physical Labor

Working from Sun up to Sunset

working the land

or caring for loved ones

you dont realize what a blessing it is

until you are faced with the possiblity

of not having anything or anyone to tend to.

What my grandfather wouldn't give to have

a full days work ahead of him and

someone to take care of all day long.

Lord, please comfort my grandfather

and through your mercy and grace

allow me the blessing of hard work.

NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey (AP) Couple welcome second set of triplets. What must it feel like to leave the hospital holding three newborns, to go home to another set of triplets?
"It's going to be rough in the beginning," Rich Fontana told WABC-TV of New York from St. Peter's University Hospital. "The older ones are going to take our time during the day, and the babies are going to be at night."
Rich and Sharon Fontana welcomed Elyssa, Evan and Eric into the world on Monday. Their other children -- Danielle, David and Dylan -- are 2 years old, which means the family has a total of six children in diapers.
The family will go through an estimated 40 diapers and three dozen bottles a day.
The Fontanas said both sets of triplets were conceived without medical help, a fact that is especially interesting considering that 12 years ago Sharon Fontana was told by her doctor that she would not get pregnant.
With a tiny baby in each arm, Sharon Fontana said she's ready for motherhood -- times six.

They don't know it but they are BLESSED!

Let us come to the conclusion that

our life in this world

is a gift of God's mercy

which we ought to remember

with gratitude!
