Not One and Done
At Mass today, the sermon was fantastic. It was easy to understand, down to earth, and made sense. The reflection was mostly based on the Gospel, Matthew 16:21-27. Before this story, Jesus’ disciple Peter had witnessed the Transfiguration and heard God say to listen to His Son. He was also appointed as the “Rock” of […]
Generous Stranger
My brother and I have been selling many items online and meeting up with people for the exchange. It has been working out quite well. This morning we met a gentleman who purchased some electronic equipment. He handed me the money which I looked at and put in my pocket. He told us he had […]
Knowing How To Help
Today I heard from my cousin who has the same name as my mother. My heart always jumps a little when I see the name, but it also makes me smile. She sent me a photo of her orchid. When I visited a couple of months ago, we talked about them and how my mother […]
Expert Plant Advise
Today as I was watering the plants, I saw a couple of leaves on one of the orchids that were yellowing. I remembered that I noticed them last week and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. They looked even worse now. I have been caring for the orchids just as my mother taught […]
Answered Prayers for Healthy Baby

Such Strength
I have had a particular friend on my mind recently. Last I talked to her she was in the hospital and I wondered how she was doing. So, I gave her a call today. I was happy to hear that she was back at home recovering. She said she was a little frustrated as it […]
Response to Fear
I met with my prayer group today and we discussed the scripture Matthew 14:22-33. The most discussed topic was fear. A couple of statements that people shared really stood out to me: Fear weakens trust. Fear leads to misinterpreting God’s plans. I thought about these words a lot and how true they are. When I […]
Living His Dream
My grandson texted me yesterday saying that I would never guess what he would be doing last night. I made a lot of random guesses that were pretty funny and saved the best for last. He moved almost a year ago to chase his dream of working with race cars. He got a job with […]
Days God Gave
I had some weird dreams last night. One of them was about packing books. There were people at the house moving things out and they were waiting for me to get the books packed, which was never ending. I would wake up and remember that I didn’t need to pack anything right now. Then I […]
