Great Food Wonderful Friend
Today a friend took me to lunch as a birthday present. We went to a favorite German restaurant. The place was very busy and we were seated in a cozy booth in the lower level. I didn’t even know there was a lower level as I had always been there with my mom who wasn’t […]
Persistence
I read a reflection from the Word Among Us this morning about persistence. It reminded me of my friend so I shared it with her. It said in part: “Our Heavenly Father treasures persistence because He knows what it can produce in His children. Persistence keeps our eyes fixed on Him, and it helps us […]
Sharing Good News
I heard from a friend today who has been caring for her mother for many years. She has been consistently going to agencies seeking help and praying for it as well. Today she was thrilled to share the good news that she was finally able to get some financial relief. I was so happy that […]
Another Year
Today was my birthday. I spent much of the day reading and responding to birthday wishes. I received flowers and a balloon from my sister and a beautiful, delicate necklace from my brother. I was blessed to celebrate in the evening with my sons, daughter in law and grandkids. We got Mexican food and mini […]
Busy Lunch
I went to lunch with a friend today, not really thinking about the fact that it was Veteran’s Day. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a 30 minute wait. We figured it would take us that long to decide where else to go and to get there and such, so we put our […]
Got Some Help
A friend has been on my mind, so I gave her a call this afternoon. She has been struggle with some pain issues, but doesn’t trust traditional doctors. I have been worried about her living alone and trying to function when it is so hard for her to get around. I was so glad to […]

The 3 P’s
I talked with my friend today who is a Stephens Minister. We have been meeting together, talking, and praying for many months. We chatted for a while and she asked me some pointed, reflective questions. She helps me to think about where I’ve been, where I’m going, and my relationship with God. When it came […]
A Holy Moment
I was happy to see a friend to sit with at Mass this morning. Afterwards we decided to go downstairs to partake in the Knights of Columbus breakfast. Today they served breakfast burritos, which were pretty tasty. As we ate, a gentleman approached my friend and gave her a big hug. I got to know […]
Memories of Mom
This morning I was up early and went to Mass right away. I went to the church that my parents and I belonged to many years ago. At that time, my mom played the organ for the choir and her friend was the director. My dad sang and I did also for a few years. […]
