Friends
Pick a Card
Today a friend told me that a customer came into the place where she works and spread out a bunch of cards face down. He told her to pick one. She smiled, and he must have been pleased, as he then offered her two. She flipped the cards over. One had the scripture verse on […]
Rain Poncho
The other day I was happy to get a call from one of the neighbor ladies asking if I wanted to go for a walk with her and her friend. I met them in the park today and despite the thunder and threatening clouds, we started on our way. They didn’t know the details of […]
Mom’s New Place
It was very stressful as my dad and I were learning about options for my mom and trying to decide where would be the best place for her to go after being released from the hospital. With help from doctors, nurses, therapists, and home care providers, my mom, dad, and I felt that a rehabilitation […]
Play Day
My son, his girlfriend, and I had one full day to spend together yesterday. It was a very hot day, so we found a museum to go to. This was a toy museum. Evidently my son had wanted to visit the place sometime and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I wondered how much there […]
Young Theologian

Beautiful Marriage
Yesterday I went to one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to. I have known the bride for about 15 years and felt so blessed when she asked if I would be her Confirmation sponsor 7 years ago. She and her husband attended a Catholic college and are very faithful as are […]
Reconstruction
Today I visited with the people I used to work with at a parish. First I went to Mass and heard the priest I know speak and I was so happy that he sang. I enjoyed seeing several people I know who also went to Mass. We went to lunch and got caught up on […]
Woman Support
Today I was so happy to meet with some women from my prayer group. We all have our struggles and part of the beauty of being with them is that we can all be open and honest with what is on our hearts. Then, instead of judging one another or giving advice, we simply listen […]
Enjoying Big Family Time
Today my son, his wife and kids, my nephew and his girlfriend and I all went to the zoo. We thought we would leave nice and early to avoid the heat of the afternoon and potential thunderstorms. But my sister, my nephew and his girlfriend came in from another city and no one was really […]
Neighborhood Reunion
A few weeks ago, I went to visit a friend who I used to be neighbors with. At that time, we lived in an amazing neighborhood. There were 2 particular families that we would get together with all the time. The kids would go in and out of the 3 houses as if they lived […]
