Creation
Pinks, Peace, and Prayer
A friend came over to the house this evening and we sat outside on the porch to visit. The sky was full of a variety of clouds. Some were low and flat, others were higher or puffy. And there was an occasional piece of blue sky that peeked through. There was no wind and a […]
Spiritual Thirst
After my dad died 2 years ago, a friend gave me the book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, by W. Phillip Keller. I have been trying to read it a little more recently. The book is interesting because the author, as suggested by the title, was a shepherd. As a Christian, he was able […]
Death and Life
Today the church had a Mass and luncheon especially for those who are grieving. My friend whose husband died a few months ago and I went together. At Mass, the responsorial was Deuteronomy 32:39, “It is I who bring both death and life.” I often think about the end of both my dad’s and my […]
Healing and Grateful
My neighbor and friend had been having severe pain in her stomach and intestines for a couple of months. She had been back and forth to doctors and emergency rooms until finally she had to have extensive emergency surgery on her intestines. Even when that was done, there were problems with infections. She spent over […]
Wood Troll
My friend and I greeted today from the cabin. During breakfast we talked about what to do and decided to go into town. My friend looked up a place to get a good cup of coffee. That was our only goal for the day. When we got into town, we went into the casino that […]
God’s Country
When I thought about what to do when my friend was here for a visit, I realized it would be a great opportunity to go to the cabin. So, today my brother went to the house in the city, and my friend and I went to the cabin. She was in awe just from the […]
Hiking Dog
My grandson and I have been taking turns caring for my son’s dog while he’s away. It has been super hot here and not pleasant at all to walk the dog in the afternoon. Today I decided to take her to a park that I have been to many times. It is a little higher […]
Sunflowers
A very loving friend of the family helped care for my mom and dad for a very long time. She was also caring for an older gentleman who she and her family brought into their home. He lived with them for many years. Several months ago, he started having more struggles, so our friend needed […]
Sunshine Stream
As I was out today, I stopped at the park to take a quick walk. I wasn’t sure how far I would get as the skies looked threatening. But, I managed to make it all the way around which was about a mile. I got back in the car and started it. The radio was […]
Do Not Be Afraid
I have been thinking about what my future is going to look like. I had somewhat thought about what I may want to do after my parents died, and where I might want to be. But now it’s here and it is a big unknown. I listened to the Gospel reading and reflection for Mass […]
