Whatever You Want Day
It was a cold, foggy, drizzly day today. Mom asked this morning what was on the agenda. I answered that there was nothing on the calendar, no appointments, no commitments. Mom could do whatever she wanted to. The day went something like this – “Do you mind if I play the piano?” Of course, I […]
Sweet Dog
My son went out of town for the day, so we said we would take care of his dog for the day. She has come over several times and we are getting to know one another pretty well. When my son left her in the morning, she looked out the window and door for him […]
Sweet Outing
I took my mom to get her haircut today. We have been going to this woman for only a few months. She is super nice, gentle, and she does a great job. Today my mom told her how hard it is for her to keep on weight. She told her that she already eats ice […]
Appreciating Birds
When mom and I got home from our walk today, there was a huge flock of blackbirds in our trees. We watched for a while as they flew away in large groups. Later in the day, we made a quick trip to the post office. On the way home, we stopped by a reflection pond […]
Many Vocations
During the days leading up to her Feast Day on September 30, I had learned some details about the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as Saint Therese of the Child Jesus. She lived in the late 1800’s and came from a very prayerful family. I was surprised to learn that she had […]
Born to be Courageous
One of the readings in Mass today was a letter from St. Paul to Timothy. Paul was in and out of jail as he preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was reminding his student Timothy that “God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.” Our […]
Triple Threat
After a busy week, both my sisters were here today. The three of us took care of cleaning, cooking, projects, and mom. It felt good to have the support and get things accomplished that need to be done. I am so grateful for my sisters. I Found God today in my sisters.
Made It
My sister started her first full week of working remotely from the house. When my brother was here some months ago, he started setting up a nice work space in the basement. My sister added some of her components and that’s what she’s been using. My mom and I barely heard her until she would […]
New Vision
My mom received a new prescription for eye glasses the last time she visited her ophthalmologist. She had been using reading glasses, but they just weren’t working well any more. Then we made a trip to get some glasses set up for her. Today we picked them up. When my mom put on the glasses, […]
Exhaustion
Tonight I met with my prayer group. We read and contemplated the Gospel reading for this upcoming Sunday. In the second part of the reading, Jesus is basically telling His followers not to expect accolades for doing the work that God has called them to do. We are to act on faith, love, and obedience.
