Starbucks On Dad
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 […]
Fun Family Time
We had lots of family over today. My sister, her husband, and my brother went to the cemetery and put some flowers on my dad’s grave, then came for a visit. My son and family came over also. My mom played her favorite game Sorry with my daughter in law, grandson, and granddaughter. Then I […]
A Good Day
I was able to do yoga and some cardio exercise before taking a shower and starting my day this morning. I haven’t done that in a very long time. That gave me good energy that permeated throughout the day. When mom got up for the day, she was moving very well. She continued to move […]
Psalm 46:11
Many years ago, a friend recommended a scripture verse to me. It was Psalm 46:11 “Be still and know that I am God.” It brought me a lot of much needed peace at that time. Every now and then, I am reminded of that verse, like today. I heard it being read. I smiled and […]
Bless Them
Tonight my prayer group talked about the necessity and power of intercessory prayer. One person shared a prayer they learned and put into practice. “Bless Them, Change Me”. Using the example of traffic and drivers who are annoying, you would say, “Bless them, change me.” In other words, you ask God to bless the person […]
ESP
Perhaps you have had a time or two when you were thinking of someone and then they call or stop by. That’s how it was tonight when I got in touch with a friend. She had been on my mind and I had been on hers. We had a great phone conversation and talked about […]
Human Rain Tent
It was a very rainy, stormy day today. In the afternoon, I went out to pick up some lunch for us and my mom’s friend who was over for piano day. I thought I was in between downpours, but I was very wrong. In some places, a whole lane was covered by a small river. […]
First Mass
When I went to church this morning, I was surprised to see about 20 priests on the altar. It was the first Mass for a young priest who was recently ordained. The congregation was full of family and friends as well. It was a beautiful celebration. The music really add to the holiness and reverence […]
Surprise Visit
This afternoon I texted my son’s to see if they were doing anything and perhaps wanted to get together. The older one responded that his wife was getting ready to make lasagna. The younger one said he and his girlfriend were going to run errands. A few minutes later, my younger son and his girlfriend […]
Say Only Good
This morning I read a scripture that stayed with me all day. It is beautiful, but challenging as well: Ephesians 4:29-32 Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them. Do nothing that will sadden the Holy Spirit with whom you were […]
