Surprisingly Spiritual Day
This afternoon, a friend and I decided to go out and about. We had no plan at all – just wanted to get out and get away for a bit. We headed North for no real reason and ended up on the highway for a bit. After a while, we got off at a small […]
An Understanding Relationship
A very good friend came by somewhat unexpectedly this evening. She was upset from an event that had occurred a little earlier in the day. We were able to take some time and just talk things through. She was able to get out her concerns and I was too. We understand one another. By the […]
Hurricane Heroes
For days now since the hurricane pummeled Texas, there have been images and stories of heroism. People have come from other states to volunteer their time and skills. Fundraisers are popping up all over the country. Those who have resources are offering them to benefit others. “Regular” people are helping and even saving others. Even […]
Pair of Photographers
A friend of mine, along with her brother and sister, went to Wyoming last week to view the eclipse. A few days later, she shared some amazing pictures that her brother took using his telescope. I thought they were truly spectacular. I showed them to my dad who was equally as impressed and wondered what […]
Book Re-gifted
Today I read a beautiful story from a friend. Her grandparents gave her a book titled, “Dear God Kids – Our Family”, on her 7th birthday. As time went on, the book disappeared, and she thought it was gone forever. That wasn’t the case. Here is her story: “Yesterday for my birthday, I received a […]
Growing Faith
At church today, the priest talked about how faith is – should be – always growing. He talked about how we judge our own faith in different circumstances. Perhaps there are times in our lives when our faith is strong, we feel very connected to God. Then something may happen and we question that relationship. […]
Broken Things
This morning when I was out driving, the song, “Broken Things” by Matthew West came on. It is one of my new favorite songs because it is about how God can work through each one of us – regardless of our condition. We only need to allow Him to. I often think of the saints […]
My Old Shovel
The other day, a far away friend texted me unexpectedly. Before I moved 3 years ago, I gave away most of my things. He took several of my tools and was outside using my old shovel. He just texted me to let me know. About a year before I moved, a friend of mine moved […]
They Are Dogs
The Gospel reading at church today was Matthew 15:21-28 – The Canaanite Woman’s Faith. When Jesus and his disciples went out of their town, they met up with a woman who was hounding Jesus to heal her daughter. Jesus’ disciples (Jewish) and this woman (Canaanite) were from different areas, different cultures. They despised one another. The Jews […]
No Strings
This morning a daily reflection that I receive read simply, “God loves us, no strings attached.” It just really touched my heart. I Found God today in a reminder of His unconditional Love.
Still Finding God
