Long Lost Friend
Today as I was running errands, I found I had some extra time. Since it was Ascension Thursday, I decided to go to Mass. Even better, I arrived early so I could go to Confession and there was no one else in line. I waited a long time, until it was just about time for […]
Thankful In All Circumstances
I am grateful and humbled as to how God speaks to us, nudges us. Today was a particular rough day for my mom. Later, when she was feeling better, she read the reflection from Jesus Calling. Again, as Jesus was speaking just to us, it said: “Thank me in the midst of the crucible. When […]
Timing is Everything
I feel like I’m always needing to work on trusting God more. Today, a friend shared a prayer by TobyMac that I tried to keep in my heart, “I trust what you are doing, how you are doing it, and the time in which you will do it.” This is a reminder to me that […]
Surrendering
I have started up the Surrender Novena again. It brings me a lot of comfort. I was on day 4 today and the words struck my heart as Jesus speaking to me: Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say “You take care […]
Sunday
Unfortunately, it is getting more and more difficult for my mother to attend Mass. This morning I decided to meet my son for the early Mass while my sister stayed with my mom. It had been a long time since I had been out early on a Sunday morning. There was little traffic and I […]
Cody’s Wish
Today my mom and I watched one of her favorite annual events – the Kentucky Derby. There were stories and other races leading up to the main event as usual. One of them was a story about Cody Dorman and the horse Cody’s Wish named in honor of the boy. Cody had a rare medical […]
Don’t Fear For Your Kids
A friend of mine shared a reflection today that really touched my heart as I think about the future of my grandchildren. I will just share the full post here. JULIE GREEN MINISTRIES – Shellie-Sullivan Clark Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow up in […]
Grateful For People and Healing
It had been a very long time since I went for a walk outside, so was very happy to go out with friend today. Evidently it had been a very long time since we caught up. We walked and talked and it felt wonderful. As I recounted what I had been up to, I found […]
Thank God I Do
Today I heard a song on the radio that tugged at my heart – Thank God I Do by Lauren Daigle. It described how I have felt over the past year – even though the song is about different circumstances. It has been a particularly meaningful Lent for me, of which I am grateful. I […]
Grateful on Easter
As I celebrated Easter, I found myself very grateful. I was grateful to be able to go to Mass with my mom and sister. There were some people there I recognized, but many I did not. I had been waiting to sing, “Jesus Christ is Risen Today”, and it was the entrance hymn. The singing […]
