So Shiny
We are excited that there will be a lot of family here for Easter. So we have started to prepare. My mom wanted to make sure her wall hanging of the Last Supper was cleaned up, so I took it off the wall yesterday. It is a metal relief. My mom had used silver polish […]
It’s Been Years
I had dinner with a group of friends tonight who I haven’t seen since before the COVID lockdowns. I couldn’t believe that 2 years had passed. But just like always, there was a lot of laughter and a lot of caring. I really missed seeing them all. It was such a blessing to get back […]
Morning Faith
The other day, one of our neighbors’ thought it would be a great idea to have breakfast together. We thought it was a great idea too, so they came over this morning bearing egg muffins and fruit. During our conversation, the wife told us about her ministry to teach English in other countries. She has […]
In Real Life
Today as I dashed into the grocery store, I nearly dashed right into someone I knew. A couple in my prayer group was coming out as I was going in and we met right at the doorway. It has been a very long time since we had seen each other in person as our prayer […]
Challenging Friend
It was a beautiful day today, so I had a beautiful walk with a beautiful friend. She is one who asks thought provoking questions and helps me to see things in a different way. I can easily get caught up in “stinking thinking” and it is so helpful to get out of my own head. […]
Food with Family and Friends
Things were pretty hectic around here at the time of both my sisters’ birthdays. So we decided that we needed to have a sister outing. Today we met up for lunch at a fancy fondue restaurant. We had fun dipping in the cheese and cooking pieces of meat in the broth. It was nice to […]
Pray For You
A good friend of mine is a wonderful pray-er. She always has a prayer list going and is faithful about praying a rosary for those in particular need. I was surprised when we chatted a few days ago and she told me she didn’t really pray for herself. I shared part of Matthew chapter 7 […]
Seeing Light
When I woke this morning, I was still thinking about the awesome day I had with my friend. Then I prayed the Divine Office, which was full of references to the light. I thought of the glowing stained glass window. I felt I had truly seen the light. Here are some of the phrases: No […]
God’s Greatest Gift
A friend from out of town was here visiting family, so we made plans to get together. When I asked her what she wanted to do, she suggested we pray the Stations of the Cross, then go for coffee. We met up this afternoon at a local church and cried as soon as we saw […]
Lunch Bunch
I took my mom to lunch with her friends today. The 4 ladies had not all been together for a year. They all met through the local music teacher’s association when they started their lunch bunch years ago. There were about a dozen ladies in the group at that time and their husbands started joining […]
