Singing Voice
My mom, dad, and I went to church this evening instead of tomorrow. It will be helpful for us especially with the time change. We sat in the “usual” spot. A woman and her son always sit a few rows back. The young man struggles with some type of mental disability and his mom kept […]
Old Legs
This morning I went to a physical therapy session where the therapist pushed on my lower back as we continue trying to resolve my hip issue. It was pretty darn painful at the time. I had some errands to run and shopping to do after I was done. I arrived at one store and got […]
An Inspirational Message
As I was going about my day today, I got an inspiring text out of the blue from a friend. It read, “Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.” I did thank God for this beautiful woman and the message she shared. […]
Manning Tribute 2
Yesterday after I wrote my blog, I watched the original video of the song “I Lived” by OneRepublic. This was the song that my grandson used in making his Peyton Manning tribute video. The video is a very powerful story of a teenage boy with Cystic Fibrosis. You can see the video here. Since it […]
Manning Tribute
I chatted with my just barely a teenager grandson this afternoon via text on his own phone. It was great fun talking with him independently from his parents. He is a Broncos fan, even though he lives in the Northeast. Well, he doesn’t really have much choice as his dad is a Broncos fan. I asked […]
Response From Beyond
Today I read a story about a young police officer cadet who was unfortunately killed in the line of duty. The grief stricken mother continued to send text messages to his phone number, especially when she was having a difficult time. One day, after pouring out her heart in one of the texts, she received […]
A Gentle Father
When you go to church, it can seem as if there is “assigned seating”. Everyone gravitates to the same spot week after week. It is the same for me and my parents. We sit in the back area, deemed the “handicapped” areas. It is just inside the entrance, so you don’t have to walk far. […]
Power of Prayer
Tonight I talked with a friend who told me a story of how a group of kids learned about the power of prayer. Every year the youth group participates in a 30-hour Fast during Lent. They have nothing but bread and water for 30 hours and at the same time raise money for the local food […]
Processions
I felt blessed that my parents and I were able to go to Mass this afternoon. It was a good thing to do especially on the first Friday of the month during Lent. The priest talked about how when God is part of our lives, we have such joy that we want to share that […]
Great Trust
Yesterday I went to a pool therapy session. One of the participants was a middle aged blind man. He was brought by his mother who helped him find the changing room and get all set. Then she helped him find his way around the pool to a chair to await the instructor. Once he was […]
