Fear Not
I saw the scripture Isaiah 41:13 in an email I received today, “For I, the Lord your God hold your right hand. It is I who say to you Fear Not. I am the One who helps you.” It sounded very familiar to me. Then I remembered a prayer card we received in the mail […]
Good Conversation
It is difficult to see my mom struggling with anxiety more often now. Most of the cause is that she realizes she isn’t getting any better and is feeling that someone somewhere should be able to do something. Her nurse came today and they had a really good conversation. My mom typically will not talk […]
Selfless Love
I chatted with a friend of mine today who is caring for her mother at home. She has had several cancer treatments in the past couple of years in her late 80’s, but is doing well right now. Her father, on the other hand, is struggling. Her parents have been divorced for many years now […]
Hope’s Daughters
Today is the Feast Day of St. Augustine of Hippo. A friend posted a wonderful quote from him: “Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are anger and courage. Anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” I Found God today in a thoughtful quote.
Ukraine Witnesses
My mom and I watched Mass today from the parish we used to attend 30-40 years ago. My mom was the organist there. At that time, the pastor met a young priest from Ukraine and they formed a close relationship. The two parishes also formed a relationship supporting one another. The young priest became a […]
Blessed By Family
Tomorrow is my daughter in law’s birthday, so we had a celebration at our house today. She is such a blessing and certainly deserves to be celebrated. We have many kinds of decorations. She chose the unicorn theme and we all had fun with it. She also chose an ice cream cake from Cold Stone […]
Surprise Hearts
Today I received some mail from a far away friend. She and her granddaughter made some super cute hearts from fancy paper. They sent one for me, my mom, and my sister. It was so thoughtful and encouraging. We all felt pretty special and loved. I Found God today in thoughtful mail.
Serenity in Waterfalls
I was so blessed to go out and enjoy nature for a second day in a row. Yesterday mom was having a good day, so I took her to her favorite park. We were lucky to see the elusive big horn sheep on our way in. Today I was able to go for a hike […]
Grow Up
I listened to a powerful reflection of today’s Gospel by Bible scholar Jeff Cavins on the Hallow app. In this scripture, the people who worked for a land owner all got paid the same daily wage, regardless of how long they worked. Those who worked all day long were upset about that, even though the […]
Well-being Affirmation
Today I had an appointment at the eye doctor. I hadn’t been there for a couple years, so it was time for a checkup. The tech who did all the prep and paperwork said I was doing a good job taking care of myself. I told him I cared for my parents and was doing […]
