Placed in My Heart
I watched some of the Olympics tonight. Of course, the athletes are amazing and do things that used to be impossible. And some of the personal stories are heartwarming and heartbreaking. That was the case for Maxim Naumov, an American figure skater whose parents died in the terrible airplane crash last year. He has continued […]
Kindness and Patience
It has been busy with people bringing in their tax information at my new job. Many people take advantage of the online portal, but many do not. Several times today we were visited by older ladies who were recently widowed. They were doing their best to take care of the paperwork. The CPA who I […]
Reason for Healing
I was happy to see another feast day celebrating Our Lady of Lourdes. Today I recounted my own miracle story to a couple who had not heard it. They talked about their own experience visiting Lourdes. Today they were praying for a young woman they know who is battling cancer, going into her 4th round […]
Funny Friendly Encounter
I guess there is a first time for everything. Today I was surprised at a funny encounter I had in a public restroom. When I went in, there was a woman at the sink. I walked past her and went into one of the 2 stalls. While I was in there, the woman started talking […]
Flower Cake
Today was my sister’s birthday. I sent her some flowers that were shaped and decorated like a birthday cake. You never know exactly what those things will look like or how big they will be when you order them. She sent a photo this morning of her holding the delivery. It was the size of […]
Family Time
My favorite team was not playing in the Super Bowl today, but it’s always a good reason to get together with family and have food. Way before the game started, my sister and I watched some of the pre-game show. That’s when they told some really good stories of people overcoming the odds against them […]
My Safe Haven
Several weeks ago, I had some problems in my bedroom and moved everything out, including myself. I will spare you the details, but know it was a very unpleasant experience. It was particularly disturbing because I have always felt that my room is my one safe haven. Today I decided that things seemed to be […]
New Job Week One
I was very happy today was Friday. It’s been an exhausting week as I started a new job for a CPA doing tax preparation. I have been learning computer systems and processes for organizing and filing paperwork. People are all different, and so is their tax situation. So while the goal of the job is […]
New Child of God
Many months ago, my prayer group “adopted” a young couple who were expecting their first baby when we met. They both had no family living here, so we made ourselves available to them. We were glad we met as shortly after the baby was born, he spent time in the NICU on oxygen. We provided […]
Beautiful Prayer
Today a friend shared a prayer from yesterday’s prayer group that I missed. I loved it. “Dear Father, you, our Lord and God, are so amazing and you bring us so many gifts. I ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives so we may have the strength and courage to be […]
