Watching Tess
My brother put his dog in doggie daycare today as he came for a visit. There was a camera in the area so you could log in and see what was going on. We checked in on her often and watched her play with the other dogs. Later, she was so tired she plopped down […]
Hoping to See
My mom has been struggling to read her piano music for a while now. She got new glasses a couple years ago, but the prescription was not correct. We were able to visit the optometrist today who was super nice and got her set up for new glasses. We’re hoping she will be able to […]
Number 6:24-26
Tonight was my last Bible class of the year. The instructor’s final prayer was Numbers 6:24-26, “The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!” These were the words from the song we sang […]
Great Family Get Together
I was happy to get to church again this morning and bring Communion home for my parents. After our little service, my mom hopped on her piano to play, “The Lord Bless You and Keep You”, which was in her mind. Then we had a great family get together including my two sons, two sisters, […]
Exciting Possibility
My son from the east coast flew out for a long weekend and came for a visit today. It was wonderful to see him in person and give him a big real hug. While he’s here, he will be looking for homes and meeting with a potential employer. He and his family are hoping to […]
Anonymous Encouragement
This morning when I woke up, I saw a text from an unknown number. It was simply an encouraging note from a person who reads this blog. That was a fantastic way to begin this day and I am very grateful. I Found God today in unexpected encouragement.
Surrender Novena
It has been a challenging couple of days. The surrender novena was recommended to me by a friend a couple weeks ago. It is beautiful and I have been praying it nightly before I go to bed. Each prayer concludes with, “O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!” (10 times) But, […]
Sunshine For Us
It was a cloudy, cool day today and thunderstorms were expected this afternoon, but I really wanted to get my parents out for a walk. When my mom awoke from her afternoon nap, it looked like the sun was poking through the clouds. We all got our shoes and jackets on and headed out. The […]
Post COVID Ballgame
Today my son took me to a baseball game for my mother’s day gift. The stadium was not filled to capacity due to COVID and it was a little strange not to be crowded, but to me it was a good transition – especially since it was outside. It felt amazing to be out enjoying […]
Blessed Deacon
My sister was here today so I was delighted to be able to go to Mass again. I wanted to bring Communion home for my parents, so I stopped by the sacristy on my way in. Getting things ready for the celebration was a deacon that I was happy to see. In my first 2 […]
