Faith
Pray-ers
I stopped by a neighbors’ tonight for a “quick visit”. We ended up talking about difficulties and before I left, they offered to pray with me. It was a moment of peace and beauty. Sometimes I wonder where God is, then He’s right there. I Found God today praying with neighbors.
Strong Friendship
After having attended a couple caregiver classes, I was reminded of the importance of having and being with friends. So, I visited with another friend today. We also had not talked in months and had much to catch up on. Her husband has Parkinson’s and we compared caregiving notes. She’s also a faithful Christian and […]
Same Theme
Sometimes I can feel like I am very alone and that perhaps God has forgotten about me and my troubles. Then, if I am listening and paying attention, I hear the same themes over and over again. I take them as messages from God. The reflection I heard on today’s Gospel reminded of that same […]
Call To Connect
I awoke this morning with a text from a far away friend. She shared a blog post with me that she had read. The words that popped up were, “God’s beloved daughters are exactly what the world needs right now.” Just looking at those words first thing in the morning brought tears to my eyes […]
Hearing God
A friend of mine shared a quote by Toby Mac that my parents and I found meaningful. “It’s hard to hear God’s voice when you’ve already decided what you want Him to say.” I Found God today in a meaning quote.
Remaining Faithful
I have been missing my friends, so I was grateful to have lunch with one today. I hadn’t talked with her in months. Both of us have had our own struggles and challenges which we talked about. But we also had a lot to laugh about. Before we left we encouraged each other, vowed to […]
Bishop’s Ordination
The bishop in our Diocese recently retired. The new bishop was announced a few weeks ago and we learned all about him. He came from a parish in Nebraska and is one of 10 children. He worked as a volunteer for Native American Missions before deciding to become a priest. His ordination was today and […]
Back to Church Too
For a while now, my parents and I have been talking about getting them back to church. They haven’t attended in person for about a year and a half now. We have been waiting for them to feel comfortable in doing so. It has really been on my dad’s heart recently, and this afternoon was […]
Encouraging Nephew
Today I received an unexpected phone call from my nephew. He started by thanking us for his birthday wishes. From there, we talked about how relaxing vacation time was. He and his wife visited a little while ago and discovered they had an additional day, so they decided to spend it just enjoying the time […]
Meaningful Message
My sisters called this morning asking about watching Mass on TV with my parents. The church we usually watch was difficult to get connected, so they watched the local parish. Later on family Zoom, my sister told me how much she like the priest and his homily. He talked about some of the traditions of […]
