Being in Relationship
Many days I have the opportunity to talk to only 1 or 2 people. And I am typically quiet in groups of people. Today was an exception. When I went to physical therapy for my back this morning, the people there were quite chatty, so I joined in. We talked about raising children, enjoying the […]
Talking With My Aunt
Going through my parents memorabilia got me to thinking about and missing my mom’s sister. I feel a special bond with her as we share a birthday. I had not talked to her in quite some time, so I gave her a call today. We chatted for a while and reminisced. She will be turning […]
Many Stories of Faith
Tonight I went to the Stations of the Cross at the church. When I got back home, I watched part of the docuseries “Jonathan and Jesus”. It was about Jonathan Roumie who plays Jesus in “The Chosen”. The show followed him during his break between seasons 3 and 4. He travelled to Rome where he […]
Always Caring
This morning I brought Communion to the woman I have been visiting on Monday mornings. I learned today that she used to be a nurse. When she talks to me, it’s always about her distant past, when she was young and helping to care for the household and her younger siblings. She told me today […]
Amazing Reconnection
Today I was going through some of my dad’s military paperwork that he kept when my sister came upstairs and looked through some of them as well. She said she used to work with a woman who happened to be the daughter of a man who worked under our father. She asked if I had […]
Trust in God’s Timing
I just happened to be with a friend of mine when she got a call that her sister had died unexpectedly. Of course, she was pretty distraught and I was glad I was there for her. The next day when I was talking with her, she said she realized that her sister died on their […]
Faith Story
Today I listened to Gwen Stefani telling part of her faith story. I felt it was so real and relatable. I connected with her quote of the day: “I’ve learned to look at each situation…and seek to understand where God is at work within it. The one thing I know for sure is that He’s […]
Middle Children
I am spending this weekend at the cabin with my son and 2 grandsons. Today when we left the house to go into town, the gaggle of turkeys practically met us at the door. They didn’t have much fear and got very close to us. When we arrived in town our first stop was for […]
The Way, Truth, and Life
For the past 3 nights I have been going to a parish mission. Basically it was a mini retreat held over 3 nights. There was Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, Prayer, and talks. The speaker was the priest I had met last year who was present for my mother. He is a knowledgeable and kind person, so […]
Dad Interviewed
I continue to sift through files, folders, and boxes of treasures. Today I found some more of my dad’s military information including housing, promotions, and awards. I also came across an airman’s magazine that included an article about him and the Air Weather Service. It highlighted their work watching the sun and doing their part […]
