Faith on Display
Today I watched the amazing game that was the Super Bowl. I didn’t have a vested interest in either team, but I do always root for the underdog. Incredibly, they won. I thought they played the game with unity, courage, strength, and fortitude. Characteristics that make up a winning team. At the end, the 3 […]
Sharing Food
Today I saw a touching story. A woman talked about how her older children were now out of the house so she doesn’t cook very much any more. But she decided to make dinner for herself one night. Not knowing how to prepare a small amount, she cooked a large meal. She had so much […]
What Does God Want
Today, I read Bishop Robert Barron’s scripture reflection and for whatever reason – God’s I’m sure – it really touched my heart. I will share it here as it may do the same for you. MARK 3:31-35 Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus identifies us as his disciples. So what do we discover about ourselves? First, […]
Dependence on God
Last week, I met a new person at the Lifetree Cafe session that I went to. We exchanged phone numbers as she offered to pray for me. I received a message from her today saying that she was praying for both of us with the scripture Matthew 6:25-34. The subject is “Dependence on God”. It […]
Miracle Story
Due to the impending snow storm, my parents and I went to church yesterday and I was so glad we did. I woke up to blowing snow and covered streets. The priest at church was a visiting missionary and preparing to give a retreat to the parish. He told a story about a man he […]
Unexpected Prayer Partner
Tonight I went to a Lifetree Cafe group about caregiving that a friend invited me to. The discussion group has different topics each week and includes a short message about God. I started by meeting a couple of people at the table. There was a short video of a woman who had taken care of […]
Live Like Magi
Today at church the priest spoke about the Gospel reading of the Epiphany and a homily by Pope Francis. It was a message that really spoke to my heart. There were 3 basic themes: Look up, take the journey, share your gifts. First, we know that our world is in a bad way and it […]
Homes of Love and Peace
One of the reflections that I read today said, “More and more, make your homes places of love and peace,” quoted by St. Teresa of Calcutta. Those were exactly the words of encouragement that I needed. And that is what I need to strive to do more of. I Found God today in needed words […]
Looking for the Light
A friend has been on my mind recently. This morning I thought of her again as I was praying and took action right away by texting her to see how she was doing. After a while, I received a text back. Then another. Then another. She was really struggling. I stopped, said a prayer, and […]
How To Ponder
I know some people have certain traditions that they do every year to ring in the new year. For example, my travelling brother cleaned his whole trailer out. He said he like to start out fresh and clean. I thought about how I can improve myself in the upcoming year. I mean, I always need […]
