Following His Lead
I got a phone call from my realtor yesterday and we agreed to move up the date for closing the sale of the cabin. I arrived at the cabin today and saw our friend on the way who had just arrived. We hugged it out and cried a bit. It is bound to be an […]
Inspirational Friend
A friend turned 90 years old a couple of months ago. We have been trying to get together and found it ridiculous that it was so hard to come up with a date. She still lives in her house and has a pretty busy schedule. She goes to church, prayer groups, visits many people, and […]
Stress Relief
A friend of mine has been struggling the past couple of months. She and her adult daughter have been living together for a few years and everything was going along pretty well – until the daughter met a new man. The more serious that relationship grew, the worse the mother/daughter relationship became. The couple even […]
Rosary at the Cemetery
The other day I was reading the local Diocese magazine and saw that the Knights of Columbus were praying the rosary in the military cemetery on the 2nd Saturday of the month. They were inviting others to join them. That sounded like a great idea to me. I called a friend who recently buried her […]
God’s Moving
I got together with one of my neighbors today who I had not seen for a couple of months. They were away, then I was away, then things got a little hectic. It was good to visit with them. As I told them about my trip and everything that is happening since I returned, I […]
Kiss the Crucifix
I watched a video today based on Padre Pio’s reasons for kissing a crucifix. It gave me some thoughts to ponder. Of course, a crucifix doesn’t have magical powers and we are not venerating wood or metal. We kiss the cross firstly to humble ourselves and acknowledge that Jesus is God and we are not. […]
The Old Cabin Friend
Today my brother and I talked with an old friend from the cabin. He always called my dad his “Little Buddy”. They were good friends for over 40 years, helping one another with construction projects, just hanging out, and even connecting during vacation. Our families got to know each other and had some fun times […]
Apartment Intervention
I met up with my prayer group and one of the ladies told us that she was moving. We were all surprised. We knew that the circumstances in her current apartment were not very good, but didn’t know she was looking for a new place. Evidently, she really wasn’t, but said that God planned the […]
Baby Room
My son’s husky has been acting out recently if they leave her alone. She seems to be particularly attached to his wife, who is expecting soon. If they both leave the house, the dog is getting into things. It wasn’t a problem until recently, and she is well behaved as long as she is not […]
250 Years
As our country celebrated it’s 250 years of freedom today, my brother and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my son, his wife, and her family. It was sad that our area is in a burn ban and no fireworks were allowed. I did watch some on TV that were pretty amazing, though. I heard […]
