I was able to get my COVID vaccine on Friday evening. As expected, I felt awful all day Saturday. But, I figured 48 hours of feeling terrible was better than weeks. I certainly did not want to be sick for Christmas again this year. My sister was on for caring for my mom. We had a box of plums, so they made a pflaum kuchen together. I was grateful that my sister was here and that she engages my mom in a different way from me. It’s so good for my mom. I was also grateful that I was able to rest and am feeling so much better today.

Today the Mass intention was for my dad. My mom woke up tired this morning and went back to bed after breakfast. Luckily, we planned on the later Mass, so when she woke up she was ready to go. We were happy to see the priest who anointed her a couple weeks ago. He talked with us a little after Mass. It was beautiful. Afte that, my mom had an amazing day. She was energetic and active for most of it. I figured that while we were praying for my dad, he was praying for us.

I Found God today in the many blessings He provided.
