An Act of Faith

Way back when, when my in-laws were trying to conceive my husband, they also sought assistance. The assistance they sought was of a higher order, or should I say a holy order, the Carmelite Nuns. Matthew's Aunt Lucia was a member of this order.

When Kathy and Vince revealed they were not having success in conceiving, the nuns recommended prayer, and told the young couple that as an Act of faith, they should buy baby clothes.

Sure enough Matthew was conceived a few months later.

I thought this was such a sweet story, that is until I was told the frugal young couple never actually bought the baby clothes.

My sister-in-law Rebaccah, has purchased said clothes to make up for the sins of our elders, and now both of us would like to have the curse lifted from us.

Perhaps the frugal not so young couple should not only pray but purchase the baby clothes so that their children may conceive as well!

I know, I know....but I am covering all my bases just in case!
