It’s decided, this purple dye is A chalk’s kryptonite and coupled with those lovely K chalk blocks this to me is close to a perfect crush. Not to mention the aesthetic of the bowl, digging out fresh blocks, powder flying around and about. This is what ASMR means, satisfaction at every level. I’ve been mesmerized recently by two artists. ‪@powdercrumblesasmr3604‬ with her irresistible crunch. I feel like she’s got a patent for the perfect crunch. Mmm 😋. Then ‪@nothing_but_crunch777‬ rolled back on to the scene with a perfect pink crush a couple of days ago. If you haven’t watched that video 5 times back to back then I’m sorry to inform you that you are not a true chalk AMSR lover and you should hand in your membership card pronto 😂💕.
Ok so as I said yesterday this Advent I’m not playing around with the Rosary. I’m praying the Rosary every morning. Some may think this is Mary worship or some weird repetitive prayer but I’m here to tell you that the Rosary works wonders and miracles and is one of the best prayers and here is why:
1/ The Rosary is basically repeating Bible verses while meditating on significant events in the Bible from Christ’s time on earth. Each line of the Hail Mary is a Bible verse.
When the angel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, “Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). When Mary visited Elizabeth, Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).
The second part is in response to the first, asking Mary to pray for us and addressing her as the mother of God. Of course, Elizabeth addressed her in much the same way: “Why should I be honored with a visit from the mother of my Lord?” (Luke 1:43).
Since Gabriel’s words were at the request of God, those words were actually God’s words. So we are honored to repeat them.

2/ Why pray to Mary - well we ask the mother of God to intercede for us with her son Jesus. Thats just facts of how life works. I’m going through something right now in my family where I’ve been very clear that unless my father asks me to do it I’m not doing it. I won’t go into the details but those who hold favour with someone can intercede for us. Not to say Jesus wont do it unless Mary asks - no no thats not what im saying. I just think having His mother in your corner doesnt hurt. In fact it helps very much. Much like when Mary asked Christ to make more wine a the Wedding of Cana and Christ said clearly my time has not come. Yet He did it. Because His mother asked.
3/ So are we essentially worshiping Mary a mere human?. Absolutely not. She’s the mother of God, we honour her, we never worship her. She holds our hand and leads us to her son. We worship only God.
4/ But she’s dead so why pray to her. Erm, I don’t know about that. She’s very much alive in heaven crowned with the sun, as our Heavenly Queen. St John had that vision in revelations remember? We believe that is Holy Mother Mary.
5/ So what you just mindlessly repeat the same words over and over again? Didnt the Bible say not to do that? Well the Bible also says to be persistent in prayer. And this is not mindless repitition. This is repeating the very words of the Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Not sure there is a better way to say GET BACK SATAN, than to repeat the holy words of the Bible in his face, he runs quick.
And if you don’t take my word (and faith for it), check out all the miracles that have happened through prayer of the Rosary. I kid you not, they are just … amazing (in the truest sense). Some examples: laudate-mariam.com/blogs/laudat
Right! 💕💕💕
