As we mentioned on TCND #084<\/a>, our local public school system “celebrated” Bring Your Child to Work Day. \u00a0Since this opportunity only applied to our youngest two sons, I agreed to let them both\u00a0stay home and work with me processing rosaries for Rosary Army.<\/p>\n

RosaryArmy.com<\/a> is the main ministry that I have the privilege of managing from the basement office of our home and these boys only know life with rosaries in it. \u00a0Not a bad thing in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\"PostFirst stop was the post office. \u00a0It’s always a fun surprise when we check the mail and find all three types of mail inside: envelopes containing rosary requests, donations and more all-twine knotted rosaries to inspect and prep for distribution. \u00a0It’s a great reminder for me to be thankful for these individuals in my prayer life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6994\"Before the massive inspection of nearly 1000 rosaries could begin, I figured I’d better boost their morale and treat them to a “business lunch” at our local burger joint. \u00a0Gotta have fuel for the journey. \u00a0And truth be told, the Reuben wasn’t half bad. \u00a0Not New York good, but decent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6995\"<\/p>\n

Time to get to work. Ben was in the zone sorting rosaries by color and making sure the rosaries were made according to our quality standards before any tax receipts can be calculated and presented. \u00a0(Don’t worry, I handle the tax part!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6997\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tommy is hard at work filling out the quality inspection paperwork for each batch of rosaries submitted. \u00a0He caught on super fast. \u00a0Not bad for an 11 year old!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_7001\"<\/p>\n

No, these are not rainbow dreadlocks on Ben’s head. \u00a0One of our hardworking rosary makers decided to have a little fun with tie-dye and Ben decided to have some fun with her creative work. \u00a0Who says rosaries can’t be fun!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_7002\"Our Lady Undoer of Knots where are YOU!!! Yikes! There were at least 10 rosaries tangled up in this ball of rosaries. \u00a0I tried to think of Our Blessed Mother as Tommy handed this giant knot to me to untangle for him. \u00a0It gave me a chance to meditate on how us mammas have the skill and patience to untangle knots in our kids’ lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After several hours of intense rosary sorting work, it was finally quitting time for this Bring Your Child to Work Day. \u00a0For their reward, I dismissed them to the basement for some much deserved R&R time with video games. \u00a0Or maybe just plain ol’ R&R.<\/p>\n
