Rest or Repose
My son and I spent the morning at the zoo today. It was very warm and most of the animals were lying about in the shade, in their pool, or sunning themselves. Only a few were actually moving about, but we still enjoyed watching them. At lunch, my son told me about the workout schedule […]
I Grow Twins
When I went to the grocery store today, I got in line behind a woman with 2 small children about 4 and 2 1/2 years old. First I noticed the younger boy asking to buy a box of cereal that was nearby. The older girl said they had some at home, which was repeated by […]
More Letters
Today I received a full packet of letters from my far away prayer group. A few months ago, we started by writing a letter about what is going on in our life. That was forwarded to the next person along with those who also wrote. Last month I had 3 letters. This month, there was […]
New Small Community
I have been wanting to connect with more people and try to make some new friends – especially those I can pray and share my faith with. A few months ago at church, a person spoke about “Small Church Communities”. These are small groups of people who meet and pray together. I contacted the organizer […]
God’s Loving Embrace
Today at church, the deacon giving the homily started out with a short meditation. He asked us to get comfortable and close our eyes. He said we should imagine ourselves asleep, then suddenly awakened by the cry of a child. I could definitely relate to that. We were then to imagine ourselves as that crying […]
Eggs in the Nest
About 2 weeks ago, we noticed 2 finches trying desperately to build a nest between our front porch light and the side of the house. They seemed to be having a difficult time and we found more twigs and tall grass on the welcome mat and on the floor rather than in their nesting area. […]
Finding True Happiness
I decided to expand my reading horizons, continue learning about faith, and include something that would be uplifting. So I started reading a book by Fulton Sheen last night called, “Finding True Happiness”. It didn’t take long before the message touched my heart, beginning with the introduction. The line that was particularly inspiring to me […]
Halo in the Hospital
When I started meeting with a faithful group of women, we nicknamed ourselves “Halos” – partly because we would see each other and say, “HEY-LO!”, partly because we wanted to do some service projects together, partly because we agreed to pray for each other. Anyways, it seemed to fit. I was sad when I moved […]
Day at the Ball Park
My brother is at the house here for a few days and today there was nothing on the calendar – no appointments, no plans. My brother said he would stick around the house if my son and I wanted to do something fun. When I talked to my son about it, he said there was […]
People in Mind
I had a lot of people on my mind today and in my prayers for various reasons. My friend who I wrote about yesterday sent me a text early this morning saying that he and his wife were flying out to meet his mother in person. That was pretty funny as I didn’t know this […]
