Homes of Love and Peace
One of the reflections that I read today said, “More and more, make your homes places of love and peace,” quoted by St. Teresa of Calcutta. Those were exactly the words of encouragement that I needed. And that is what I need to strive to do more of. I Found God today in needed words […]
A Day’s Difference
For the last couple of days, my dad has been having problems with his foot and in a lot of pain. We got him to the doctor yesterday who gave him a super heavy duty anti-inflammatory pain reliever. He took the pill in the evening when we returned. Our neighbors invited us over for dinner […]
Looking for the Light
A friend has been on my mind recently. This morning I thought of her again as I was praying and took action right away by texting her to see how she was doing. After a while, I received a text back. Then another. Then another. She was really struggling. I stopped, said a prayer, and […]
How To Ponder
I know some people have certain traditions that they do every year to ring in the new year. For example, my travelling brother cleaned his whole trailer out. He said he like to start out fresh and clean. I thought about how I can improve myself in the upcoming year. I mean, I always need […]
Timely Proposal
My sister went to a surprise 60th birthday party for a friend of hers over the weekend and told me a very touching story. Her friend married her husband 21 years ago. Evidently, it was a quick decision and wedding. At the party, the husband said that he had never made an official proposal, so […]

Chickadee Call
My parents and I went up to the cabin in the mountains for a few days as the weather was pretty mild. Shortly after we arrived, my dad filled up the bird feeders and we placed them outside around the house. After several hours around dusk, we finally saw a bird at one of the […]
Just Needs Time
A few weeks ago, my sister fell down her stairs. She has been slowly recovering, but had a set back in the last week. She just kept feeling worse and worse. When she came over for Christmas, she wasn’t her usual bubbly self. She napped and spent much of the time wrapped up in a […]
Support After Fire
It has been getting very cold at night and my dad has been trying to regulate the heat better in the house. So, today my parents, brother, and I got to talking about heating systems. My parents remembered the old coal stoves they had growing up that would last through part of the night. This […]
Napping Day
It has been quite a busy time getting prepared for Christmas, as it is every year. Even though I tried not to go straight out every day, it was still a lot of work. Today, there were several activities that we could have done and we talked about them. But when it came right down […]
