Friends
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. […]
Clear Adventure
My friend and I decided to try to take a drive in the mountains this week. However, she cares for her mother and she wasn’t feeling well the day we planned on going. I completely understand that situation. So, we decided to wait. We had the opportunity to go today and took it. My friend […]
Musical Reminder
Today I was reminded of a video I took 2 years ago. It was my mom and her friend playing a duet on my mom’s piano. They were both wearing their “Plays Well With Others” t-shirts. I loved listening to them again and seeing my mom enjoying her music. It made me happy. It made […]
Flowers From the Window
My neighbor and I visited on the porch this morning. While we were there, the lawn guys came and mowed, which led us to talk about our outside flowers and plants. We share the sidewalk, so we can see her house and garden area from some of our windows, and she can see ours. Earlier […]
Caring Musician
Today I had lunch with our piano friend and another piano friend who we used to see every couple of months or so. She is younger than my mom and her friend and is still teaching piano. She is also very involved in her church and has been for many years. Part of what she […]
Healing Taking Place
One of the ladies in our prayer group had emergency surgery 2 weeks ago and is currently in a rehabilitation facility. Tonight was our meeting night, so we brought the meeting to her. The facility allowed us to use one of the common rooms. One of the guys even brought his computer so we could […]
Perfect Fall Day
I have been wanting to drive a certain gravel road that I know of through the mountains. It was a gorgeous day today and a friend of mine was able to get away, so off we went. We first took the highway to a mountain town. The Fall colors were stunning after the cool, wet […]
You Are Here For a Reason
When I worked as a youth minister, I was blessed to meet an amazing woman who was a youth minister for a neighboring parish. We became very good friends and talked about what we might do when we were no longer working with the teens. She is an incredibly faithful, compassionate person and I have […]
