Finding Prayers
Today I was at a friend’s house helping her clean out some things. She had a super cute little stand with small drawers and a place to stash books and magazines on the outside. It was located next to her comfy chair, but she was unable to reach the drawers at all. I pulled out […]
People in my Life
I had a busy, but wonderful weekend and I am feeling grateful for the people and relationships in my life. On Saturday I spent some time at a kind of mini retreat day with some ladies I didn’t really know too well. It was nice to get to know one another better. My mom’s best […]
Helping Again
Before I started working my job with the CPA, I was helping an elderly couple that I know. While I was busy with my job, a friend who helped care for my mom was able to step in for me. I was glad that it worked out for everyone. Since I finished my job on […]
What is Trust
I was happy to go to Mass today and I thought the homily was something that I have been longing to hear. The topic was on trusting God. The priest talked about how we may think we are not trusting God with a certain situation or challenge, because we can still worry or be afraid. […]
Tad Off Perfect
I listened to the reflection on Hallow today by Jeff Cavins. He told a story about a conversation he had with a gentleman comparing the sound of today’s music with that of the 1970’s. The music now has so much technological influence, it can be created with no flaws. The description that he used for […]
Enthusiastic About Outdoors
I went for a hike with a friend today and enjoyed being outdoors in the beauty of nature. At one point we were up pretty high and overlooked a large portion of the foothills. It has been very dry here, but also very warm and many of the trees and bushes have already started to […]
Even in a License Plate
My son calls me to chat sometimes when he’s driving. I always enjoy that because we do just talk about all kinds of different things. This afternoon we were talking about going to church for Good Friday and the Easter Vigil. We talked about how beautiful it is for people entering into the Catholic faith. […]
Free Yardwork
I do occasionally waste time scrolling through Facebook videos and such. One set of videos that I have enjoyed is of a young man who has his own lawn care company and does work for free for people who are in need. He takes on yards that are extremely overgrown for one reason or another. […]
Lit Candles
Last night I went to the Easter Vigil – my favorite Mass of the year. The celebration started outside in the dark by the fire. The new annual Easter Candle was lit by the fire. Then, as we went back into the church, a few people lit their individual candles from the large Easter Candle […]
The True Cross
It is tradition to generate a crucifix at the Good Friday celebration. Tonight at church, they had 1 large cross for the congregation to touch, kiss, or respect in some way as we remembered that Jesus Christ died on that cross for us. It took a long time. As I was praying before and after […]
