Friends
Nurturing Friend
Today I brought Holy Communion over to a sweet elderly woman. When I walked into the kitchen where she was, another person greeted me. It was a woman I used to work with about 30 years ago. We had recently connected through a group of friends, which I was happy about, so I recognized her. […]
Perfect Puppy
This morning I got together with my friend with the puppies. I asked if they were at their new homes yet. They are going this weekend. One was placed immediately. The other was supposed to go to a certain home, but it didn’t work out. My friend called the next person on the list and […]
Joyful Ash Wednesday
Most mornings I am able to take time to listen to a couple podcasts on the Hallow app and get my mind set towards God as I prepare for the day. I did the same this morning and got a couple perspectives on Ash Wednesday and Lent. A friend gave me a meditation book for […]
Answered Prayers
I’m happy to talk with my siblings on Zoom every week. For a long time now, my brother has been telling us about his neighbor who has been in and out of the hospital with C-dif. He was taking care of the dog and trying to keep it from getting too lonely, although it was […]
Treasured Friendship
This morning I read the scripture Sirach 6:5-17. It was all about the different kinds of friendships. This is what it said to me: Speaking kindly to people will lead to many friendly relationships and can dissuade those who disagree with you. Having many acquaintances is good, but be careful of who you trust. Some […]
CeCe Winans Concert
A friend of mine used to work for Compassion International and now volunteers for the organization. This group uses individual sponsorship to support children living in poverty and dire circumstances. A couple of weeks ago, my friend asked if I wanted to volunteer with her at the upcoming CeCe Winans concert. I love the gospel […]
Priestly Support
I was so happy and grateful to talk to a priest friend of mine today. I haven’t seen him in years, but he has always been a great support for me and my family. Today circumstances seemed right to actually talk on the phone. During the conversation I asked him about a ski trip that […]
Long Phone Call
I had some things on my mind today and felt I needed help making sense of it, so I reached out to a friend. She called me almost immediately and we talked for over an hour. We shared similar experiences and she did, in fact, help me to sort out the things in my mind. […]
Nostalgia
I have been seeing little nostalgic videos and commercials for things I used to love to play with like the Easy Bake Oven, Barbies and Sit N Spin. They are funny and but bring back fun memories. Today I stopped by a store that sold all kinds of vintage clothing, records, and collectibles. There were things […]
Hosting Prayer Group
I have been getting together with my prayer group for many years. We take turns meeting at each other’s homes. All this time I have never had them at my house. We would occasionally have the neighbors over for a short visit, but in general my dad wasn’t comfortable having people over. I think it […]
