Faithfully Stay the Course
This morning the bishop of our Diocese celebrated Mass in our parish. I have seen him once in person and a couple of times online. He is a very humble, peaceful man and always speaks in a way that is important and relevant. Today he pointed out that as Jesus was making His way back […]
Girl’s Party
Today was my granddaughter’s birthday party. She had a couple of her friends over for the festivities. They ran and screamed like only little girls can. I raised only boys, my sister had a boy, and my son had two boys before his daughter was born. So there have been many years of just boy […]
Blessing and Protection
Today is my granddaughter’s birthday. I looked back at the photos and blog I wrote when she was born. I talked about what a difference she would make on the lives of those around her. Seven years later, her personality and characteristics are really showing through. She is smart, kind, and empathetic. She has a […]
A Little R&R
I have been a little overwhelmed the past couple days, just being particularly busy and trying to keep my priorities in check. I was very happy that our friend came to be with mom today so I could have some time to myself. And I made sure I did just that. I have learned that […]
Morning Routine
This morning I listened to a woman who spoke of her morning routine. She challenged her listeners to start some sort of routine to get themselves prepared for the day. I thought about my morning routine and how necessary it is for me to try to do certain things before my mom gets up. These […]
Watching Over Us
Today is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I have a prayer app on my phone called, Hallow. Today started a 33 day devotion to Jesus through Mary that will finish with a consecration to Mary. Basically, a person entrusts themselves to the protection, guidance, and intercession of Our Blessed Mother. […]
Peanut Butter Pie
My son was out and about today and asked if he could stop by. So, he and his girlfriend came over when we got back from church. He returned a container of mine. And like any good friend, he didn’t return it empty. They had made peanut butter cup pie and shared some with us. […]
Computer Fixer
My mom’s friend got a new computer a while ago and had not been able to figure out where all her files were, or how to get them transferred from the old computer. Today my brother went to her house and got it all fixed up for her. She found some files that she thought […]
Hug With Prayers
After thinking about far away friends, I had conversations with a few today. It was so nice to catch up. However, even when I don’t talk with people for a long time for whatever reason, I still think about and pray for them. I saw a post from a friend that said, “When my arms […]
Returning To Support
I talked with a friend today. We both moved away within about a year of each other. She moved to a place with family and long time friends. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as well as she had hoped. She told me that she recently moved back. She explained about the area she was living […]
