Out of the Pit
Much of today’s devotion from “Jesus Calling” really resonated with me. It talked about being in a state of depression and in the darkness. I feel like I have felt that way for quite some time until that past few months. The reflection is from Jesus’ standpoint as He says, “Your only hope is to […]
Ever Loving
Today I got together with a friend. We hadn’t seen each other in several months and she was eager to hear about my road trip. I started with the highlights of the places we visited such as Mount Rushmore, a renovated opera house in Nebraska, the antique shop in Missouri, Lake Eerie, Maine, and such. […]
In the Dreams
A friend’s mom turned 90 years old while I was away. I was sorry that I missed the big event, and I stopped by today. She had all her birthday cards prominently displayed and told me about the celebration. Her brother died recently, and some of the family had come for a visit. Her nieces […]
Back To It
I have had visitors since I returned from my vacation. My brother left this afternoon, so I was alone once again for the first time in 6 weeks. I ended some of the activities that kept me busy before vacation, such as physical therapy and counselling. But today I picked back up with other commitments […]
Gift at Cathedral de Santiago
Several weeks ago, a friend of mine who is a priest shared that he was going to be walking the Camino in Spain – The Way of St. James. He said he would bring intentions that were shared with him, so I included one. I had seen photos of when he and his group arrived, […]
Trip Reflection
I have missed my weekly Zoom meetings with my siblings for several weeks now since I was traveling. So, I was happy to connect with them today. I told them a couple of stories about the trip. I also visited a neighbor and told them a couple of stories too. Talking about the road trip […]
Blessed Detours
My grandson and I had another beautiful and hot drive today. First we drove around and looked at some places in NC that his family is interested in. In one town, he said a friend of his from NH had moved there. He texted her while we drove randomly. We ended up stopping in a […]
Back on the Road
This morning I went to Mass and prayed especially for my mom on the 1-year anniversary of her death. I loved that it was Corpus Christi – the Feast of the Body of Christ. In the homily, we were reminded that we have Hope that we will one day be in the arms of Christ […]
Faithful Friends
Today I saw more friends that I had not seen in years. They had been such a big part in my faith life. The introduced me to unique experiences that challenged my beliefs. I think that is something that I find so beautiful and extraordinary about the Catholic religion. There are so many ways to […]
Dream of Heaven
A young man that I have known since he was in high school lost his father almost 2 years ago. I wanted to visit his dad’s grave, so the young man tried to explain to me where it was. Then he offered to take me there, which really touched my heart. We got together tonight […]
