Humor and Laughter
This morning, my mom found something funny in an article she was reading on her iPad. I made an inside joke about it and we started our day with laughter. Tonight before my mom went to bed, we watched some short videos from the Carol Burnett show. They were so funny and we just laughed. […]
Sister Talk
My mom and her sister keep in touch via email and my social media posts. It has been a very long time since they talked on the phone. The last time they did, both of them had a very hard time hearing the other. We had been thinking about giving my aunt a call and […]
Missed Her
My daughter in law and I planned on getting together last week, but it snowed and the roads were too bad. We rescheduled for today and it snowed again. However, she was already out taking the kids to school, which started late, so we did meet up. I was proud of her for driving on […]
Our Tech Guy
I had a memory pop up today on social media of a post and photo I shared 9 years ago. It was when my son was in college and was a thrower on the track team. It was difficult travelling to far away places to watch his meets. I was excited when I learned that […]
Galentines
The ladies in our community go to lunch once a month. My mom has thought about going, but not committed. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity. We met about 14 others in the restaurant. My mom knew a couple, as did I. They were all very warm and friendly and invited my mom into their […]
Faith and Proof
Tonight my mom and I watched the rest of the movie, “Song of Bernadette”. It contained such a beautiful quote by St. Thomas Aquinas, “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” I Found God today in faith.
Super Bowl Reflection
My mom and I went to my son’s house for a while to watch some of the Super Bowl this afternoon. It was good to get out of the house, see family, and eat football food. As I watched the game and the commercials, I was reminded of the reflection we read in “Jesus Calling” […]
Our Lady of Lourdes Connections
Today is the actual Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. We talked about it this morning and my mom said she wanted to watch the movie, “The Song of Bernadette” from 1943. She said it was her favorite movie when she was younger. Before we watched the movie, we turned on EWTN. The station was […]
Remembering Lourdes
Last night before bed, I came across a video of the pastor I worked for, who once again spoke to my heart. He talked about the upcoming Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and the World Day of the Sick, which is on Saturday. He told the story of the young girl, now known as […]
Thoughtful Prayers
We had quite a pile of mail that we started going through the other day. In it, we came across a prayer card from a friend. It was so thoughtful and I felt particularly blessed. I found God today in a thoughtful friend.
