Answer
Someone Moved
The other day, I saw a story on the news about a veteran who lost everything he owned in a house fire. He had a mobile home and while he was away, one of the propane heaters fell over and started the blaze. He thought one of his dogs may have knocked it over. In […]
Letters From Women
A few years ago, I was blessed to begin a faith journey with 6 other women – some I knew, some I did not. The new prayer group was organized by a good friend who takes God’s promptings seriously. We met about once a month, visited, ate, prayed, laughed, and cried together. When I moved away, […]
Our Lady of Fatima
I have been hearing about the 100 year anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima – when Mary the Mother of Jesus appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal. The other day, my mom found information in the bulletin that one of the travelling statues of Our Lady of Fatima would be in […]
The Eyes Have It
My dad had another eye doctor appointment today – the one that took hours the last time. When we made the appointment, the scheduler told us that right after lunch would be the best time, so that’s what we did. She was right. We waited for about 5 minutes for the first test, then didn’t […]
Back to Therapy
We have been trying for months to get my mom back into physical therapy. She has had some physical setbacks and we have been having problems getting a referral from a doctor. We finally got the appointment and made it in today. We went back to the same place that she was a year ago. […]
Good Test Review
We received a call from my dad’s cardiologist office today. The doctor already reviewed the stress test from yesterday and wanted to let my dad know that everything looked fine. They will review the details at his next appointment in a couple of weeks, and didn’t want my dad to worry. That was great news and […]
Coincidences Help the Day
I took my dad down to the hospital today for a stress test. The cardiologist just wanted to check things out. My mom hasn’t been feeling well, so instead of waiting with my dad, I dropped him off and went back home for the couple of hours it took to do the test. It snowed […]
Great Treasure
Today I read a reflection that said, “You’re ability to pray is a greater treasure than all the riches in the world.” Gary Zimak taken from Stop Worrying and Start Living. I thought about how true this statement is. No matter what is going on in my day, I can pray and connect with God. I […]
Blessing in Disguise
A few months ago, my dad, my sister and I went out to purchase a new bed for my mom that would be in place when she came home from a hospital and rehab stay. We wanted a bed that would be easy for her to get in and out of and that would be […]
Done with Antibiotics
Today was my mom’s last day of taking the antibiotics for the recent bout of diverticulitis. She has done so well, she hasn’t even been as nauseous as in the past. She even felt good enough to go to the Parkinson’s support and to church. Today is also the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. […]
