God’s Reflection
I came across a story that further explains the “Refiner’s Fire” that I have been thinking about: There was once a group of women studying the book of Malachi in the Old Testament. As they were studying chapter three, they came across verse three, which says: “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of […]
The New Priest
I was pleasantly surprised that my mom wanted to go to church this morning. We were both happy that she finally got to see the new priest. He’s young and chanted several parts of the Mass. My mom said his voice was very soothing. I was glad she was able to enjoy and hear much […]
The Party
Today was my granddaughter’s birthday party. She had a friend over and her little sister. As girls do, they started giggling and being silly. I loved watching them playing and laughing. They didn’t have any inhibitions or bad behavior – just sheer enthusiasm and joy. It was so uplifting. I Found God today in children’s […]
Early Presents
Tomorrow is my granddaughter’s birthday. She and her mom stopped by after school today so my mom could give her gifts. Before they arrived, my mom practiced playing the Happy Birthday song on the piano. When they walked in the door, I told my granddaughter that her first gift was at the piano where my […]
New Red Car
A few months ago, my sister decided to purchase the car she was leasing. She got everything worked out for the financing, but somehow there was a miscalculation and the amount she had to pay it off was incorrect. So it didn’t happen at that time. A few days later the car was in a […]
The Dizzies
I woke up this morning, got part way up, and started spinning. I had vertigo. I breathed slowly and waited for it to pass. It kind of came out of nowhere, on the other hand not surprising as I can feel the stress in my body. I was so grateful that my brother was here […]
Precious Cargo
It felt wonderful to take a walk in the sunshine today. As I went through a parking lot, I heard an exchange between a man and a woman who were parked side by side. The woman was getting a toddler out of her car. The man was waiting for her so he could get into […]
Children’s Blessings
Today my brother was talking about his upcoming travel plans. He wants to go through and visit some native American sites. He has always had a place in his heart for the people and helped to finance a school in South Dakota, which he visited. Not long after our conversation, he went through his mail […]
Inspirational Reflections
This past week, my Wednesday night prayer group had an inspirational discussion about today’s Mass readings. Today, I went to church while my sister stayed home with my mother and they watched Mass online. I also listened to a podcast about the Gospel and read the homily of a friend. There were a lot of […]
Photo Album
My granddaughter’s birthday is coming up next week. The other day my mom found a small photo album she had with pictures of my granddaughter soon after she was born. There were many empty pages left. My mom said she had wanted to fill up the rest of the book and give it to her […]
