God’s Care
I had a great time at dinner with friends tonight. I told them the story of lunch with my mom and friends yesterday and wondered how long our group would be able to continue our monthly get togethers. This got us talking about our future and what we were planning on doing. I said I […]
Friends Still Lunching
Today my mom and I met some of her long time friends for lunch. One of the ladies picked up another who just turned 91 years old. She was struggling a bit to recognize her friends and remember where she met them. She is very sweet and has a very quiet voice. One of the […]
Another Strange Mass
There weren’t very many people in the pews when we arrived at Mass this morning. That was strange to begin with. When it was time to start Mass, the music director announced that, unfortunately, there was no priest present to celebrate Mass. A deacon was there, so we went ahead and started with the Liturgy […]
Chicken Hatching
My sister and her husband sold their farm last year to a wonderful family who they keep in touch with. They have two little girls who love taking care of the chickens. My sister was here today and told us that the family had purchased an incubator. They had taken a couple of eggs from […]
Moving Forward
Today I saw a quote by Toby Mac that touched my heart: You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. I Found God today in a reminder to keep moving forward.
Time For Time
Today I was a couple minutes late for the grief support group that I have been attending. It seems that I rush too much and we talked about it at the beginning of the session. At the end, the leader read the reflection for today. Once again, it really hit home. ‘When you become anxious […]
Learning English
Today I had a visit with one of our neighbors. She has a ministry of teaching English in foreign countries. We have heard about some of their trips in the past. She and a team are getting ready for another trip at the end of the month. During their time teaching English classes, they also […]
Tickling the Keys
My mom’s friend came over today and they played the two pianos as usual. But today, when they were finished, her friend played a couple solo pieces that she had memorized. I can’t even remember the last time I heard her play alone like that. There were several runs up and down the keyboard. I […]
A Different Pentecost
I have been to some amazingly vibrant and exciting Pentecost celebrations and always look forward to today’s solemnity. However, today’s Mass was quite different. The priest started by saying how nice it was to use a microphone, because when he celebrated Mass earlier at a different church, their sound system wasn’t working. It was more […]
I Did It
At Mass 4 years ago, I heard an invitation from the Biblical School to attend an informational meeting. I decided to go. As I was listening to the course outline, my heart was “burning within me”. Even though it was 4 years of classes, I knew it was something I should do. I didn’t know […]
