My mom had some energy this morning and made it to church. During Mass, the priest talked about Father’s Day. He said if our father has died, we  should pray for him to be with our Heavenly Father. We can also ask for his intercession to pray for the fathers who are still here, doing their best to be a good dad. So, I did both. I especially asked him to pray for my son and those who don’t know their father. My sister went out to the cemetery and later, my mom and I did too. On the way, my mom asked about the Starbucks card that my dad had. Many, many years ago, my dad got a Starbucks gold card. It was basically a reloadable card with points and benefits. I found the card a while back and put it in my wallet for an occasion to use it. This seemed like the perfect opportunity. After visiting dad’s grave, we stopped at Starbucks on the way home. I brought the card into the cafe. The young man who waited on me was impressed by the “old school” card. I was happy there was some money on it and got mom and I a coffee on dad. I felt there were special ways to connect with dad today.

I Found God today connecting with my dad in special ways.
