Teamwork
Since my son has been away for the funeral, his roommate and girlfriend have been taking turns caring for his dog. Today was our turn. My son’s girlfriend dropped off the dog bright and early this morning. She followed me all over and was clearly confused as to what was happening. Then I had a […]
More Missions
Our friends returned from yet another mission trip and stopped by today. This time they visited Turkey and Albania. They had stories to tell like always. But what fascinated me the most was the biblical history of the place. They met a man in Turkey who gave tours of the area including cities such as […]
Long Lost Friend
Today as I was running errands, I found I had some extra time. Since it was Ascension Thursday, I decided to go to Mass. Even better, I arrived early so I could go to Confession and there was no one else in line. I waited a long time, until it was just about time for […]
Good Friends
My mom’s friend came over today and brought her a gift for her birthday. It was a statue of the Holy Family carved from wood from the Holy Land. She said she thought it was fitting since most of our family will be together to celebrate her birthday. She is such a good and thoughtful […]
Grateful For People and Healing
It had been a very long time since I went for a walk outside, so was very happy to go out with friend today. Evidently it had been a very long time since we caught up. We walked and talked and it felt wonderful. As I recounted what I had been up to, I found […]
Looking Good
My friend’s mom has been undergoing chemotherapy for a couple of months, but doing fairly well. She came out to dinner tonight with a group of friends. It was good to see her functioning and visiting. It was tiring for her, but she did great. I Found God today seeing my friend’s mom who is […]
Spiritual Connections
I had very strong unexpected spiritual connections today. First, I met a friend for lunch. She is a caregiver also and a very faithful woman. We prayed together at the restaurant and had beautiful conversation as we usually do. She noted that the relationship with another faithful person is something special – that you understand […]
Friends and Family
Our neighbors invited us over for lunch today. They are such kind, generous people and we enjoy getting together with them. They have family in the area, but not too close by. During the course of our conversation, they said they had wanted to get together with their family, but things didn’t work out. Then […]
News of Healing
I talked with my friend yesterday whose tiny, elderly mother is going through cancer treatment. She is doing amazingly well. She can tell the treatments have been effective so far by how she’s feeling. My friend said she has even had more energy than she has had in months and doesn’t have to use the […]
Beautiful Gestures
A friend of mine told me about some ways she is honoring loved ones. A friend of her’s mother passed away. Several months later, her friend contacted her and asked if she would like some of the religious items that the mom had accumulated. She gratefully accepted. One of the items was a statue of […]
