Finding Hope
A friend of mine is struggling as she goes through a divorce. I have been trying to help pack things up as they get ready to sell their house, which is very emotional as well. She invited me today to go look at a place that she is thinking of renting. She had a place […]
The Way, Truth, and Life
For the past 3 nights I have been going to a parish mission. Basically it was a mini retreat held over 3 nights. There was Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, Prayer, and talks. The speaker was the priest I had met last year who was present for my mother. He is a knowledgeable and kind person, so […]
Dad Interviewed
I continue to sift through files, folders, and boxes of treasures. Today I found some more of my dad’s military information including housing, promotions, and awards. I also came across an airman’s magazine that included an article about him and the Air Weather Service. It highlighted their work watching the sun and doing their part […]
Nurturing Friend
Today I brought Holy Communion over to a sweet elderly woman. When I walked into the kitchen where she was, another person greeted me. It was a woman I used to work with about 30 years ago. We had recently connected through a group of friends, which I was happy about, so I recognized her. […]
Finally Wellness
I spent some time with my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren today. My daughter in law has finally finished physical therapy since her ankle surgery in October. She is walking all around wonderfully now. After his 2 back surgeries, my son was finally walking upright and moving around without wincing. They struggled so much […]
The Power of Silence
I listened to a podcast this morning which ironically talked about silence. But I found it spoke to my heart. The author read some thoughts from his book ‘The Power of Silence”. Here are some that particularly struck me. “…the noise tries to prevent God himself from speaking.” “In this hell of noise, man disintegrates […]
Perfect Puppy
This morning I got together with my friend with the puppies. I asked if they were at their new homes yet. They are going this weekend. One was placed immediately. The other was supposed to go to a certain home, but it didn’t work out. My friend called the next person on the list and […]
A Song for Nagasaki
When I listened to a Lenten podcast from Hallow this morning, they said they would be reading excerpts from the book, “A Song for Nagasaki”, and reflecting on them. The book is about a Japanese doctor who survived the atomic bombing in 1945. He spent the rest of his life bringing physical and spiritual healing […]
Joyful Ash Wednesday
Most mornings I am able to take time to listen to a couple podcasts on the Hallow app and get my mind set towards God as I prepare for the day. I did the same this morning and got a couple perspectives on Ash Wednesday and Lent. A friend gave me a meditation book for […]
Led By Faith
Today I started reading the book, “Led by Faith, Rising from the Ashes of the Rwanda Genocide”. It is a story about Immaculée Ilibagiza who survived the Rwanda genocide by hiding in a pastor’s tiny bathroom with 7 other starving women for 91 terrifying days. Her first book was called, “Left to Tell” in which […]
