God’s Timing and Encouragement
Today a friend stop by unexpectedly to return some dishes and stayed for a few minutes. While she was here, she offered some encouraging words and shared a bit about her faith. She did not know what perfect timing she had and how much I appreciated hearing what she had to say. I love it […]
St. Patrick’s Breastplate
Today is St. Patrick’s Day – of course. We went to church at our usual church, St. Patrick’s. Before Mass started, we said the complete prayer known as St. Patrick’s Breastplate. I think most people know the part, “Christ before me, Christ behind me . . . etc.”, but I had never said the complete […]
Response to Anger
This morning, my parent’s and I read a reflection on the scripture where Jesus says, “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment…” We were to think […]
Ready for a Challenge
As I was finishing my homework for my Bible class today, I wrote about the importance of living well as a Catholic Christian and showing God’s love to others. Not less than an hour later I received a call for the opportunity to do just that in a very challenging situation. I’m now praying for […]
Proof of Heaven
My mom just finished reading the book, “Proof of Heaven; A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife”, by Eben Alexander MD. He didn’t believe in heaven, hell, the soul, or God. Then he was suddenly attacked by an illness that shut down his brain. While he was in a coma for 7 days, he had an […]
Your Sweet Spot
Yesterday when my mom’s friend was visiting, we were lamenting over the state of affairs and down right evil in our city, country, and world. I personally become overwhelmed with the news of horrific events. I want to do something to help, but other than pray, there really is nothing I can do. This can […]
Ready
Tomorrow we begin another season of Lent. I read a meditation this morning, “Open your heart, open your mind, and open your soul to the miracles God wants to work in and through you.” – Matthew Kelly. This was definitely an encouragement to get ready for Lent. I have seen so many opportunities that will […]
People of the Bible
The other day, I read a meditation that stated, “Every single person in the Bible is put there to serve you. Hidden between the lines of these ancient texts, they wait, wanting to teach you the great truths of the journey.” – Matthew Kelly. I had my Bible class tonight and this statement really rang […]
Moments With God
Today I felt blessed to be able to take a few minutes during the day to spend with God – in prayer, in meditation, at Mass, and in the Bible. There were times when anxiety tried to creep into my mind, but these moments of spiritual rest helped me to stay at peace. I Found […]
Celestial Memories
In my water aerobics class this morning, we talked about our earliest memory of celestial events. I remember when the first astronauts landed on the moon. That night, I looked up at the moon and thought, “There are people there!” It was an awesome realization. I told my parents about the conversation and my mom […]
