Young Love
My mom and I have been going through photos and memorabilia. Today I came across some old greeting cards and postcards they had sent to their families. I also found some letters that my dad wrote to my mom while he was doing some work in England. They had been married for 3 years. The […]
Encouraging Call
I thought of a friend today who I haven’t spoken to for a long time, so I sent her a quick text. She wasn’t busy at the time and neither was I, so we talked on the phone for a while. She said she was just thinking about me as well. Her son just happens […]
Singing in Church
My mom had a lot of energy this morning, so we both made it to Mass. Early during the service, my mom said that she could hear and understand the words that were being said. That was wonderful, because she really struggles with it. A little later I heard her singing, which she doesn’t do […]
Lavender Festival
I was so happy to spend a few hours this morning with my sister and her husband. We went to the lavender festival at the local botanical garden. We were glad we got there early enough to beat too much of a crowd and too much heat. The first thing we did was visit the […]
Phoning Friend
Today I was looking through my social media comments and saw a friend’s name. At that same time, my phone rang and her name popped up. She was calling me. That was quite a surprise. I told her about the funny coincidence and we laughed. It had been a while since we talked and got […]
Heavenly View
I was talking with a friend tonight and remembered the morning I saw my dad in hospice at the hospital. I opened the blinds on the window and there was the mountain front and center. The moon was setting and I could see it was going to look as though it was touching the mountain. […]
Your God
I saw a good quote today from Chris Stefanick worth sharing. “If your God let’s you do whatever you want, then your God is you.” I Found God today in words to make you think.
Born For This
I started listening to a podcast on the Hallow app called The Rescue Project led by Fr. John Riccardo. Yesterday was the first session. It was incredibly encouraging as the priest talked about how God breathed life into you and me at this particular point in time. Each of us is here, in this place, […]
For Love of Music and Faith
At lunch today, my mom and her friend were reminiscing about their time working together. They met about 50 years ago and collaborated in music ministry for a somewhat new church. The congregation initially met in a school, then moved to a temporary building, then built a church. My mom was the organist and her […]
Hawk Sighting
Yesterday when my mom and I were driving back from the hospital as we neared the house, we spotted a large bird flying across the street. I stopped to watch and we could see the prominent red tail on the hawk. It flew to the fence that surrounds our complex. I tried to get a […]
