VII. Sara’s approach and thoughts

A Inside thoughts, head reason & heart reason.

Head reason grow in age grace 7 wisdom before God & man.

Strong heart goal, love of child, come a day too hard, house in turmoil, all want is peace

Draw deeply on heart reason, Church no one can educate, love, know as well as parent. No one is willing to push past weakness like a parent.

Vocation is open to all who are married and blest with children. Right comes from duty.

Subsidiarity can use helps from community, not a unique talent, open to anyone.

God called me

He equips those He calls.
