Surrendering Trees
A friend of mine writes every day about the things she is grateful for. Her attitude of gratitude is refreshing and I look forward to reading her posts as I know I’m going to receive a beautiful outlook. The other day, she wrote a reflection on Fall: “I am grateful for the lessons the trees […]
God, People, Things
My friend, the deacon, gave a great homily today at church. I think it’s great when I get a snippet that I can easily remember. He talked about how important it is to have our lives and priorities set in the right order regarding God, people, and things. First and foremost, we should worship God. […]
Beating the Devil’s Tactics
I seem to get more notifications on my phone than I know what to do with. I usually go through them a couple times a day and delete, delete, delete. As I was swiping them away this evening, I stopped and watched a video that caught my eye called, “How to Beat the 3 Tactics […]
Hopeful Healing
We have been praying for my mom’s friend’s son-in-law since he was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago. He has received several treatments with differing outcomes. Right now he is cancer free.

Public Apology
Today I brought my mom to have her hearing aids cleaned and checked. As we were waiting, other people were checking in for their appointments. One person was getting rather frustrated, though I didn’t hear exactly what was being said. A few minutes later, I heard the person say to the worker, “I’m sorry I […]
Faithfully Stay the Course
This morning the bishop of our Diocese celebrated Mass in our parish. I have seen him once in person and a couple of times online. He is a very humble, peaceful man and always speaks in a way that is important and relevant. Today he pointed out that as Jesus was making His way back […]
Airport Blessings
I talked with a far away friend today who traveled over the weekend. She was a little nervous after not flying for over 27 years. She told me how she was struggling to figure out how to get from the airport to the hotel. She prayed right then and there and God helped her through […]
Her Jewelry
Before my dad died, he, my mom, and I made notes about the interesting items they have collected from their travels around the world. We wanted to make sure people knew what they were and where they came from. My mom has been wanting to do the same thing with her jewelry. Tonight we decided […]
