Answered Prayers for Healthy Baby
I started this morning by taking my son’s dog for a little hike in a nearby forested park. It was peaceful, cool, and energizing – a great way to start the day. I talked with son and his wife on and off during the day. They sent a picture of the new baby wearing a […]
Safe Delivery
Last night I went over to my son’s house. It was the day that my daughter in law’s doctor scheduled to induce labor, 2 weeks early from the due date. They had been doing ultrasounds on the baby for a couple of months and concerned that she was so small. Everything looked ok, but they […]
Family Weekend
The past couple of days have been full and fun. My nephew and his wife came for a visit, so they and my sister stayed at my house over the weekend. On Saturday, we all went to dinner along with my brother, my son, and his very pregnant wife. We went to our favorite German […]
Dad’s Craftsmanship
My ongoing project is to sell and donate items from my parents estate. I have had a pair of speakers that my dad made up for sale for several weeks now. Today the right buyer contacted me. My brother loaded up the speakers in my car and we met the man and his girlfriend. The […]
The Transfiguration
I woke up too early this morning, so I rolled over, grabbed my rosary, and put on my rosary app to pray. Thursday is the Luminous Mysteries and the 4th one is the Transfiguration. For whatever reason, this is one of my favorite Bible stories. I remember the picture in my old Children’s Bible of […]
The Motor Home
I was visiting with an elderly couple today and they were reminiscing about when their 4 boys were younger. When they only had 2 boys and 1 on the way, they purchased a motor home. It was, of course, an old style with a small section that went over the cab. The boys would take […]
Such Strength
I have had a particular friend on my mind recently. Last I talked to her she was in the hospital and I wondered how she was doing. So, I gave her a call today. I was happy to hear that she was back at home recovering. She said she was a little frustrated as it […]
Response to Fear
I met with my prayer group today and we discussed the scripture Matthew 14:22-33. The most discussed topic was fear. A couple of statements that people shared really stood out to me: Fear weakens trust. Fear leads to misinterpreting God’s plans. I thought about these words a lot and how true they are. When I […]
Living His Dream
My grandson texted me yesterday saying that I would never guess what he would be doing last night. I made a lot of random guesses that were pretty funny and saved the best for last. He moved almost a year ago to chase his dream of working with race cars. He got a job with […]
Winning Gold
I was talking with an elderly gentleman today in his 90’s. He has trouble with his eyes and they always look red and irritated. I always wonder how much it effects his vision. I was actually driving behind him for a little bit and he seemed to do just fine. He told me about a […]
