Improvement in Craziness
Yesterday afternoon I made it back to my home state safe and sound after a wonderful trip to spend time with family and meet my new grand daughter. My sister picked me up at the airport and I called my mom from her house. The adventures there just seem to go on and on. My […]
Loving Choices
I started my day off a little unsettled. I allowed negative thoughts and past hurts get into my head. Once they are there, I have a hard time shaking them off. So I looked forward to going to church and praying that God would get me on the right track. Unfortunately, my parents did not […]
To Be A Saint
Today as I was perusing social media, I saw that today in the Catholic church, we celebrate the Memorial of St. Clare. She has always interested me – mostly because I know she worked closely with St. Francis of Assisi. I wonder what it must have been like to make unpopular decisions, be counter cultural, […]
The Newest Teacher
A young woman I know graduated from college a few years ago and has wanted to be a teacher. She has been working at a pre-school and the pictures I see of her with the kids there are precious. I feel she is truly gifted to work with them. The test required for teachers in […]
Shared Words of Wisdom
My mom finished her second week of voice therapy and is doing a good job practicing at home. Now for one of her exercises, she reads inspirational quotes out loud. I am sure this is dual purpose – it helps to strengthen her voice AND her spirit. I have enjoyed listening to them as well […]
A Healing Mass
Tonight my mother and I attended a “Healing Mass” at our church. The priest was visiting from New Jersey and here for a Catholic conference. He was very charismatic in his words and prayers. The majority of the people in the church were very enthusiastic as his energy was contagious. One thing that really struck […]
Out of Addiction
Tonight I was able to connect with my prayer group via Facetime. It is always uplifting to be with this wonderful group of women. Two of them recently opened an interior decorating shop. They said that every day they speak to people who share their faith with them. One of the ladies told a story of stopping […]
Newly Engaged
Today I talked with a young woman who recently became engaged. I have known her and her family for years, and it is hard to believe she is even old enough for this to happen. She told me the beautiful story of their relationship. They met each other 4 years ago when they were both […]
Learning to Drive
My nephew has been learning to drive. His mom takes him out driving every now and again in the big busy city they live in. It has been challenging to say the least. They stayed overnight last night and when I asked this morning what people wanted to do, it was suggested that I take […]
A Story of Forgiveness
Today I came across a moving video from a young man who was bullied in high school and able to forgive those who tormented him. He held onto the truth of who he is in God. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BotF8PjxOIU I Found God today in the story of a young man able to forgive […]
