Son the Father
My mom was pretty worn out from yesterday’s activities, so she was unable to make it to church today. We put on the Mass from the parish I used to work for on the East coast. There we saw the deacon that I knew. The regular priest wasn’t there. I thought I recognized the visiting […]
Faith in Grief
I heard from a friend of mine today that her husband passed away. I met them years ago. My mother was participating in the Parkinson’s exercise class and so was my friend’s husband. He was having a very difficult time already back then – particularly with falling. He even fell during the class. My friend […]
Positive Quotes
I saw several positive quotes today as people are clinging to faith, hope, and love and friends are sharing their wisdom. Here are some of them: For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women, and men to be loved. […]
Little Energy
After my mom’s big day yesterday, she woke up this morning with very little energy. Our family friend came over and surprised us with a visit from her husband who brought their 1 year old granddaughter. She was just about the most adorable little toddler I have ever seen with her two little pigtails on […]
Carpet Cleaning
We usually have our carpets cleaned once a year after the summer. This year I decided to go with a company owned by a friend. The wife was just a kid in the neighborhood we lived in many years ago. It was a wonderful community and we were all like family. Her son came over […]
Good To Hear
I knew a friend of mine was going through a physically difficult time and I reached out a couple of times with no response. So, we just kept praying for her and her family. She called this afternoon and told me just how tough things have been. She had extensive back surgery, which I knew […]
Surprise Flowers
This evening after dinner, I received a text from a friend and neighbor. She said she left something for us on the porch and was thinking about us. I went to the porch and found a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It was certainly a joyful surprise and we felt pretty special. I Found God today […]
Steady Faith
This morning, I heard a lot of commotion outside the garage door. I went to investigate and saw a fire truck and ambulance parked next door. The EMTs were actually at the home of the “roof mate” of our neighbor’s. Several people were outside, concerned for the residents. The man who lives in the home […]
Selfless Love
I chatted with a friend of mine today who is caring for her mother at home. She has had several cancer treatments in the past couple of years in her late 80’s, but is doing well right now. Her father, on the other hand, is struggling. Her parents have been divorced for many years now […]
Surprise Hearts
Today I received some mail from a far away friend. She and her granddaughter made some super cute hearts from fancy paper. They sent one for me, my mom, and my sister. It was so thoughtful and encouraging. We all felt pretty special and loved. I Found God today in thoughtful mail.
