Guardian Angel Friends
Today is the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels. I listened to a couple of reflections on the scripture that talk about each of us having a guardian angel. I take comfort in knowing that I have a friend who is with me, and also in the presence of God. It is mind boggling, but […]
All Coming Together
A couple weeks ago, my sister and I talked about her moving in. I was pretty excited as I don’t really like being by myself. We always shared a bedroom when we were growing up and have shared a living space a couple times since then. I feel like we know each other pretty well […]
Eating Well
As I have been helping out my friends, I had been doing some cooking for them and putting containers of food in their freezer. I realized that they weren’t really eating very well and tried to find ways to help with that. After the husband’s hospitalization, they have connected to a caregiving company and have […]
Blessed Fulton Sheen
This morning I learned that Archbishop Fulton Sheen would be beatified today. I knew of him and had watched an occasional, “Life is Worth Living”, TV show which drew an estimated 30 million viewers each week in the 1950’s. Fulton Sheen was an avid learner, acquiring several degrees. That led him to teaching, which developed […]
Grateful for Hands
Just a couple weeks ago I was really struggling with my right hand. It was swollen and painful and I couldn’t use it very much. I tried to be gentle with it as it slowly got better. There will always be residual swelling, pain, and limited capability due to the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. But, after […]
Discharged
This morning I got a phone call from my friend who went into the hospital on Monday. After having surgery on an infected knee and spending several days in the hospital, he said he had been discharged and was home. His sister in law was with him and his wife. I talked to her for […]
Sorrow to Joy
This morning I prayed the rosary. Traditionally, the Glorious Mysteries are prayed on Wednesdays which focus on the Resurrection, Ascension, Coming of the Holy Spirit, Assumption of Mary, and Crowning of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth as described in the book of Revelation. As I meditated on these biblical events, I realized what […]
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 […]
