Monday's Resolution

In a small town where time moved slowly and the summer air was always filled with the scent of lilacs, there was a room in the old Marlowe House that held more than just memories. The room, with its two single beds and the Sacred Heart watching over, was where the Marlowe twins, James and Clara, grew up.

The wallpaper, patterned with tiny blue flowers, had faded over the years, but still held the echoes of childhood laughter and whispered secrets of two souls in harmony. The beds, now neatly made with care, once were ships sailing the high seas, fortresses in grand battles, and safe havens from stormy nights.

James had left for the war, promising Clara he'd return. She would sit by the window, gazing at the stars, whispering prayers to the Sacred Heart for his safe return. The room stood as a silent witness to her solitary vigil, the wooden floors creaking gently as if in comfort.

Years passed, and the room, unchanged, waited. When at last James returned, worn but unbroken, the room embraced them both. It was a place where they could step back into the innocence of their youth, if only for a moment. The Sacred Heart, a symbol of enduring love and protection, continued to watch over the Marlowe twins, just as it had done all those years ago, in the room that witnessed the depths of sorrow and the heights of a joyous reunion.

Resolution:  I will resolve to pray throughout the day to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Spiritual Bouquet: Years passed, and the room, unchanged, waited. When at last James returned, worn but unbroken, the room embraced them both.
