Learning to Dance
My son’s wedding is less than a week away and that is pretty much all I can think about. We had been talking about what song to have for our mother/son dance and finally decided on “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts. We both remembered that I used to sing it to my son in the […]
Thinking Of Heaven
Today I saw a thought provoking quote by St. Teresa of Avila. “Life is to love in such a way, that we are not afraid to die.” The more I keep my eyes and thoughts on God, the more I want to be with Him. If that is true, then when it comes time for […]
Eyes On God
As I was praying about what to blog about tonight, I opened my phone and part of Psalm 27 popped up. When I turn on the news, the world around me seems to get more and more frightening. I know I probably shouldn’t turn it on at all. But the Psalm was a good reminder […]
Little Boy, Big Heart
I was talking with my neighbor this morning and she told me about spending the day with her 7 year old grandson. They went up to the mountains and road a train. They also saw some mines which is the little boys new obsession. On the drive home, they passed a huge plot of land. […]
Generous Love
This evening I watched a program featuring a woman who talked about having an abortion when she was a young teenager. She was only 15 years old when she found herself pregnant. Her mother didn’t want her to have the baby and didn’t want the baby to be born under those circumstances. So the young […]
Painful Best
I saw a quote today from C.S. Lewis that read, “We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.” That reminded me of my thoughts over the past several years. I always knew God was along side us in […]
Brownies at Home
My granddaughter, daughter in law, and I made plans to go out and do something fun each week for the last 3 weeks before school starts. However, when we tried to go to the zoo, my granddaughter became very car sick and we were unable to enjoy the day. Another day we did go to […]
Sewing
A couple weeks ago, I went shopping and bought a couple of new shirts. I have put on a few pounds over the past year and needed clothes that fit a little better. However, I am very frugal and don’t like to spend a lot of money. I did find a couple cute blouses on […]
Mary, Martha, Lazarus
Today the church celebrates the Memorial of Saints Mary, Martha and Lazarus. I read the scripture story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and watched a reflection about it. There were 2 things that struck me. The first was the shortest passage in the Bible, which is “Jesus wept”, John 11:35. The reflection explained […]
Don’t Miss Him
I found today’s Mass scripture readings very thought provoking. In the first reading from the book of Exodus, Moses led the Israelites to Mount Sanai to meet God. God’s arrival was marked with, “peals of thunder and lightning, and a heavy cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast.” Naturally all the people […]
