Beautiful Perspective
I met a young woman last month as I was volunteering with the Fostering Hope organization. She was a volunteer as well. We had another event yesterday and I got to chatting with her. She told me about her experience doing some work in another country with a group of volunteer medical professionals – and […]
Call From the Navy
Since my nephew left for the Navy, my sister has been anxiously waiting to hear his voice and know that he is OK. She received a phone call from him this morning and called my parents and me after they hung up. She was overjoyed as she repeated the short conversation. She said he sounded […]
Play Day
Today I was looking forward to participating in a Lenten retreat day. My sister came over early to visit with my parents and I headed to the church. When I got there, I saw a sign that said the retreat had been cancelled and to please pray for the priest. There was a group of […]
St. Patty’s Treats
At the beginning of this week, I realized that I was responsible for bringing snacks to the Parkinson’s Caregiver Support Group scheduled for today. Then I remembered that it is St. Patrick’s Day too, so I decided to make themed snacks. I have made Irish soda bread in the past, and it has been ok, […]
Holding My Hand
Have you ever heard or read something and felt like God was speaking directly to you? This morning I read a reflection that really touched my heart. I will admit that sometimes I struggle with being lonely. I think we all have a desire to have that “special someone” who knows us intimately, is always […]
Noticeable Improvement
Several weeks ago, I went to learn to play pickleball at a community center. The lessons were organized by the Parkinson’s support group for those with Parkinson’s and their caregivers. I went a couple of times, then things happened that prevented me from getting back there. Today I decided I was going to return. When I arrived, […]
Angel of the Day
My sister was feeling rather down today and missing her son who joined the Navy. Because he is in boot camp, she hasn’t talked with him in 2 weeks now. She went to the grocery store this evening and came upon a man who used to live in her neighborhood. She hadn’t seen him for […]
Someone Moved
The other day, I saw a story on the news about a veteran who lost everything he owned in a house fire. He had a mobile home and while he was away, one of the propane heaters fell over and started the blaze. He thought one of his dogs may have knocked it over. In […]
Oldies But Goodies
Today at church, several of the music pieces were what I would call Oldies But Goodies. I could think of specific events where I learned each song. One was a retreat that I went to with people I hardly knew. During the years that followed, those people became my spiritual mentors and good friends. Since […]
Christ in Me Arise
A friend of mine came over for a visit tonight and my sister was here too. We laughed and laughed, which we always do and is one of the things I look forward to when we get together. We can also have deep and meaningful conversations because we know each other so well. My friend […]
