Rest

I have been busy this week and pretty physically active. This morning I felt it. My body and back were aching and I was moving pretty slowly. With the many options of the day before me, I prayed and asked God what He would have me do. As I sat silently, I was aware of […]

Perfect Love

Early this morning I started receiving Happy Valentine’s texts from a group of friends. There were some funny and some sweet. I was again grateful for their friendship and the way everyone is so supportive and caring of one another. Later I got a reminder of photos I took last year. They were of my […]

Love and Faith

Today a friend shared with me a story about his sister and her husband. It was an article published in the AMAC magazine. Theirs was a a beautiful love story. From the time they met when the woman was 16, they knew they were meant for each other. She waited for him to complete his […]

Blessing of the Deacon

Today I was surprised to learn that one of the deacons from my parish was moving out of state. This particular gentleman has been such a blessing to me for many years. I met him when I took my 4-year Bible Study class. He was in my small group for 2 of those 4 years […]

Sharing My Story

The other day I came across a few prayer cards to Our Lady of Lourdes. Typically I go to Mass on the feast day, which is today. I thought it would be nice to go to the Newman Center for Mass with my friend who also was there when we buried my father 3 years […]

Close To Same Situation

When I was unable to take my mom to church any longer, I was able to bring her Communion. I had connected with some wonderful people at the church who were very supportive and loving. A couple of days ago, one of the ladies called and asked if I would be interested in bringing Communion […]

Sweet Surprise

I made “Loaded Tater Tots” this afternoon and packed them up to bring to my son’s house for his Super Bowl party. Right before I left, I received a box of treats from Swiss Colony. It was an unexpected delivery from my aunt. I was certainly surprised and grateful for her thoughtfulness. I decided to […]

Celebrating Sister

My sister has been house sitting for some friends in the mountains, so I haven’t seen her for a while. Her birthday was several weeks back and we didn’t have a chance to celebrate. She came to town today, so we decided to celebrate her. We went to get Mexican food with my sons and […]

Being Courageous

Today was sunny and warm, but very windy, so much so that there was a High Wind Warning. I planned on taking a day trip to the cabin but questioned whether it would be a good idea, especially since I was going alone. I examined the weather report carefully. There was really nothing in it […]

All is Well

My son had a doctor’s appointment today, so I helped drive kids. I picked up my grandson from a rock climbing event that was part of his school’s program. On the way home, he told me all about it and how much he enjoys the sport. He also talked about an opportunity he had making […]
