Gift at Cathedral de Santiago
Several weeks ago, a friend of mine who is a priest shared that he was going to be walking the Camino in Spain – The Way of St. James. He said he would bring intentions that were shared with him, so I included one. I had seen photos of when he and his group arrived, […]
Trip Reflection
I have missed my weekly Zoom meetings with my siblings for several weeks now since I was traveling. So, I was happy to connect with them today. I told them a couple of stories about the trip. I also visited a neighbor and told them a couple of stories too. Talking about the road trip […]
Blessed Detours
My grandson and I had another beautiful and hot drive today. First we drove around and looked at some places in NC that his family is interested in. In one town, he said a friend of his from NH had moved there. He texted her while we drove randomly. We ended up stopping in a […]
People in Cars
Today was a long, hot drive, but we reached NC, which was the goal. The rolling, green hills provided their own kind of beauty. There was a lot of traffic and cars going in and out trying to make a little headway in front of the many semi trucks. Some were a little less patient […]
Faithful Friends
Today I saw more friends that I had not seen in years. They had been such a big part in my faith life. The introduced me to unique experiences that challenged my beliefs. I think that is something that I find so beautiful and extraordinary about the Catholic religion. There are so many ways to […]
Dream of Heaven
A young man that I have known since he was in high school lost his father almost 2 years ago. I wanted to visit his dad’s grave, so the young man tried to explain to me where it was. Then he offered to take me there, which really touched my heart. We got together tonight […]
Continued Family Relationships
Today I was catching up with a friend who I would see every now and again as they came out to visit her husband’s family. They were struggling trying to help care for his parents while living in another state. His father passed away several years ago and his mother died just over a year […]
God Speaks
I was visiting with a friend today and we got talking about circumstances in life and how we discern God’s Will in the present moment. I think there are several ways I which God “speaks” to us. Prayer of course, being silent and listening for God. Sometimes an overwhelming feeling or thought. Many times through […]
Mixed Messages
Today I went to meet some friends for lunch downtown. I didn’t even give thought to encountering protests and counter protests. The place was buzzing with activity. People were walking all the streets in all directions carrying signs with all different messages and flags of all different sorts. Later this evening, I saw parts of […]
Generations
It has been very wet here in New England. I was told this weekend will be the 13th in a row that it has rained. It was nice today, however, so I took a short hike with a friend, her daughter, and her daughter’s daughter. I loved walking and talking and listening to everything the […]
