Sneak Peeks

Over the past couple of days, my son and his new wife have been sharing sneak peeks of their wedding photos and a super sweet video. I’m crying all over again, feeling so blessed and happy for them. I Found God today in the blessing of my son’s wedding.

Stitches Out

It has been 2 weeks since I had the cancer spot removed from above my eye, in my eyebrow area. I had a lovely multicolored black eye, which still lingers. This afternoon I went back to the doctor’s office and had the stitches taken out. I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Typically I am […]

Be Love

Today is the Memorial of St. Therese of Lisieux – the “Little Flower”. I watched a movie about her a couple of months ago and learned more about her today. She was only 15 years old when she convinced the authorities to allow her to enter the convent. She was incredibly humble and knew that […]

Be Kind

I saw a quote from one of my favorite Christian artists, TobyMac, that read “There’s a stranger out there who still thinks of you because you were kind to them when they really needed it. Never stop being that person.” I thought those were beautiful words to live by. It reminded me of a t-shirt […]

Michaelmas

During the past several weeks, I have been listening to and praying with Hallow’s St. Michael the Archangel series. The last 9 days have been dedicated to a novena to St. Michael led by Fr. Ambrose Criste from the St. Michael’s Abbey in Silverado, CA. He often mentioned how the church was built and oriented […]

Speed of God

This morning after breakfast, my brother hitched up his camper, fastened his dog in his truck, and left for the winter. He is heading to Arizona but will stop at beautiful sites on his way. After he left, I cleaned up the cabin a bit and enjoyed the fresh mountain air and scenery before I […]

Happy Dance

I was blessed to spend another beautiful day in nature at the cabin. It seemed like every time I went outside there were more and more  aspen leaves turning from their summer green to their autumn yellow. My brother, his dog, and I took a long walk. He showed me a quiet little spot off […]

Aunt’s Recovery

Today I called my aunt as I haven’t spoken to her for a while. The first thing she said was that she was thinking about me as she was falling asleep last night. She told me that she had a stroke at the end of June. She was in the hospital for about a week, […]

Safety, Trust, and Beauty

Yesterday I took a drive up to the cabin. The weather was just perfect – sunshine, blue skies, and some of the leaves on the Aspen trees were just starting to change. I took my time getting things ready as I planned on staying a couple of days. By the time I left, it was […]

God Spared Me

After my son got married and now has the support of an amazing wife and her wonderful Christian family, I have been telling my siblings that God could take me home with Him any time now. Today, instead of doing that, He spared me. I was out driving this morning and had come to a […]
