God Picked Reading
This afternoon as my mom and I were sitting at the table, I picked up the friendship book that was there. I told her I would just open it and read whatever page I landed upon. Our caregiver noted that she loved to do that and let God choose what she should read. I opened […]
Shopping Online
There are several things that I have been wanting/needing to get to help make things a little easier for my mom. I shopped several stores here in the city with no luck. Finally, I gave in and shopped online. It was a long, tedious process, but I hopefully found what I was looking for. Even […]
Like a Ballerina
Today we read yesterday’s reflection in “Jesus Calling”. It described a beautiful image of a ballerina spinning around and around. In order to keep her balanced, she must have a focal point. I suppose the same is true for other dancers and ice skaters as well. This concept tied in with our faith life. In […]
Steadfast in Faith
I listened to a podcast today that talked about how to resist the devil. First and foremost was to remain steadfast in faith. 1Peter 1:6-7 was quoted, “In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold […]
Wait or Abide
I was happy to meet with my prayer group tonight. We talk about scripture and life and prayer for each other’s needs and intercessions. I always leave appreciating the wisdom, faith, and friendship of the group. Tonight one of the ladies talked about the difference between waiting and abiding. Waiting gives the visual image of […]
Slow Down
Today my sister shared a quote that felt very relevant to me. “Sometimes God will slow you down so that the evil ahead of you will pass before you get there.” I can be impatient and anxious in a situation and want to move on. I have found it takes much commitment and perseverance to […]
Despite Myself
Today is the Feast of St. Bernadette who had visions of Mary the Mother of Jesus in Lourdes. I think when this day comes every year, my mother and I reminisce about the trip we took there. Today my mom still remembered some of the details, such as when we saw St. Bernadette’s uncorrupt body. […]
The Recliner
Mom has been getting more and more sleepy during the day, but doesn’t necessarily want to be in bed. She has tried to get comfortable on the sofa either lying down or propped up, but it hasn’t worked out very well. I have asked a couple of times if she would like her little recliner […]
Personal Pray-er
Many months ago, I started meeting with a Stephen Minister. This is someone who is trained to walk along the journey with someone perhaps going through a hard time. It is spiritual in nature, but how much is up to the participants. I usually meet with my Stephen Minister every week, but we missed a […]
Dizzy Relief
My daughter in law has been suffering from dizziness on and off for many years. She has been to several doctors who have not been able to help her. Recently, a chiropractor friend of theirs recommended a doctor for her. She has seen him a couple of times now and I talked with her about […]
