Sharing Caring Heart
A friend and I planned on meeting for a hike this morning. I texted her and got no response. I called and got no answer. This was not like her at all, so I got a little worried and decided to just go over to her house. She called while I was on my way […]
70 Years
Today was my parent’s 70th wedding anniversary. When my mother gets up in the morning, it usually takes her some time to figure out what day it is. This morning she knew. Of course she was sad that my dad wasn’t here to celebrate with her. I asked if there was anything in particular she […]
Jesus Christ is Risen Today
Easter Sunday brought a lot of joy. My sister was here yesterday, so we spent much of the day cleaning and preparing food. I was glad about that, because it helped reduce the work load for today. This morning, my son and his girlfriend came over for breakfast. It was a wonderful way to start […]
The Headstone
My dad was buried in a National Cemetery. This afternoon my sister, mom, and I went out to put some flowers at his site for Easter. It was nice to see the headstone that was put in place last week. But at the same time, it made his death more real, more permanent. I thought […]
Washing Jesus’ Feet
After I shared my story about cleaning the Last Supper wall hanging, I heard from a friend today. She said she thought it was awesome that I was washing Jesus’ and His Apostles’ feet at this time. Honestly, I hadn’t even thought of it like that! The comment did send a little Holy Spirit chill […]
Heirloom Blessing
My mother had a beautiful rosary that was given to her as a wedding gift. She had been wanting to pass it along to her niece as it came from her grandmother. We sent the rosary to her a little while ago. Today we got the most thoughtful thank you note. My mom read it […]
St. Gerard
My mom and I started watching a DVD about holy relics from saints and holy objects. This reminded me of a conversation I had with my mom the other day. As we were filling out more paperwork, I wrote both my brothers’ full names. They both have the middle name Gerard. Obviously I have known […]
The Ball Game
Yesterday my sister came for the weekend while I had a fun day with my family at a baseball game. In afternoon my son and his girlfriend picked me up and we headed to the big city. There we met my other son and family. We found a place to park not too far away […]
Midweek Mass
A few days ago, my mom said that she wanted to go to Confession before Easter. Today was a good day to make that happen. Our church was offering the Sacrament before the noon Mass, so we arrived a little early to get in the line. While we were waiting, those gathered in the church […]
Morning Faith
The other day, one of our neighbors’ thought it would be a great idea to have breakfast together. We thought it was a great idea too, so they came over this morning bearing egg muffins and fruit. During our conversation, the wife told us about her ministry to teach English in other countries. She has […]
