A Frigid Day
It was a super frigid day today, so we stayed in and took note of anything that was moving outside – 1 person walking very quickly, 1 other person walking their dog, a crazy squirrel that would jump straight up in the air after being on the ground for a few seconds, a couple of […]
Creating Joy
It is difficult to keep up a positive attitude – especially when we are still unable to move about and visit as we want. I read a short reflection this morning, “Surround yourself as often as possible with joyful people. Spend your time in places that encourage your own joyfulness.” by Allen Hunt from the […]
Our Lady of Lourdes Continues
My parents and I once again celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. A friend shared a beautiful story about a French nun who survived COVID-19 and was celebrating her 117th birthday today. This afternoon, I was able to get Communion from the church and bring it home to my parents. A friend called […]
Hearing Together
This morning when my dad put his hearing aids in, he realized how everything was so loud. He had to leave the kitchen while I was making breakfast because it was too noisy. He said that even when he took a deep breath, it sounded like a tornado. So, we headed back to the hearing […]
Changing Day
My dad had a very restless night last night and was exhausted this morning. He described the crazy thoughts, dreams, and sleep-awake cycles that kept him from getting a good night’s sleep. I felt so bad for him. This afternoon, however, we had an appointment to pick up his new hearing aid. He has been […]
Inspired by Daniel
Tonight I started reading the book of Daniel in my Bible class. Yes, we went through the famous stories of Daniel being saved as he was thrown into the lion’s den, and that of his friends being saved when they were thrown into a fiery furnace. There is more to the stories and more to […]
Surprising Commercial
We watched some of the Super Bowl today. I’m always interested in the commercials, but wasn’t too impressed. Then my ears perked up. The announcer described a chapel located in the exact middle of the country that was open 24/7 encouraging people to stop in to pray. The message of the commercial was that we […]
Shiatsu Massager
My sister came over today and we celebrated her birthday. She brought over a super cool massager that she splurged on. I have a subscription to receive a massage once a month, but I haven’t been in over a year due to COVID-19. So, my sister brought over her hand held device for me to […]
Untimely, Yet Peaceful
Today was haircut day. We have waited 3 months since our last cut, so we didn’t have to be in contact with too many people during the holiday season. My son took my dad to get his haircut while my mom and I went to our appointment. The last time I spoke to the beautician, […]
Hearing His View
I asked my dad tonight where he found God. He said he started reading the book, “I Heard God Laugh”, by Matthew Kelly. He said he had not yet figured out what God was laughing at, but he really enjoyed what he read. I Found God today hearing how my dad found Him.
