Picking Up Groceries
I found myself at the end of the week without having made a trip to the grocery store. For several different reasons, each time I planned on going, it didn’t work out. So, early this morning I made my shopping list and ordered it online. This afternoon, my mom and I went to go pick […]
Singing in Church
My mom had a lot of energy this morning, so we both made it to Mass. Early during the service, my mom said that she could hear and understand the words that were being said. That was wonderful, because she really struggles with it. A little later I heard her singing, which she doesn’t do […]
Heavenly View
I was talking with a friend tonight and remembered the morning I saw my dad in hospice at the hospital. I opened the blinds on the window and there was the mountain front and center. The moon was setting and I could see it was going to look as though it was touching the mountain. […]
Grateful For Findings
When my mom got up this morning, she seemed to be more confused than normal. After talking with her and letting some time pass, the confusion lingered. I wondered what this was. Was it from a new medication? Was it low sodium – because it was checked a couple weeks ago and was running on […]
Glorious Adventure
My mom read today’s reflection from “Jesus Calling”, and I thought it was quite profound and encouraging. It said in part, “Draw near to Me with a thankful heart, aware that your cup is overflowing with blessings….You will never be in control of your circumstances, but you can relax and trust in My control. Instead […]
The Point
For the past few weeks, I have been chatting with a friend whose husband became very ill from some food while they took a family vacation abroad. Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse and he passed away the other day. One thing she questioned was why God would take her husband? Why wouldn’t he […]
God First
I met with my prayer group tonight and as usual, we read the upcoming Gospel for this Sunday. The scripture tells us that we should prioritize God before anyone or anything else in our lives. One of the ladies shared that early on in her relationship with her husband, he told her that his relationship […]
Sparrows
I was talking with a friend today about how sometimes I have a feeling of impending doom. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic. But I do sometimes feel like I’m just waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Minutes later, I heard a song that started with the lyrics, “You can’t add a single day […]
Fearless
In church today, I was happy and surprised to see some friends of mine. The husband has cancer and was told by the doctors he has only a few months to live. I have seen them via Zoom for prayer meetings and have stopped by their house a couple of times. He says he is […]
Despair, Dependency, Determination
I have been listening to readings of the Psalms recently. They are beautiful and like most of scripture they are timeless. What was written thousands of years ago could just as well have been written yesterday. I continue to be surprised as to how the themes flow from despair in one Psalm to dependency and […]
