Hearing From a Friend
Today I heard from a friend that I haven’t seen in over a year. I was blessed to have him work in youth ministry with me. He was always one that I looked up to and knew that I could count on. I always admired his quiet, yet strong faith and his desire and ability to […]
An Inspirational Message
As I was going about my day today, I got an inspiring text out of the blue from a friend. It read, “Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.” I did thank God for this beautiful woman and the message she shared. […]
A Friend’s Big Birthday
My mom’s close friend had the big 80 birthday today. Her daughters planned a wonderful party for her, so I took my mom. Unfortunately, my dad was a little under the weather and was unable to go. We met up with the group of family and good friends at one of the birthday girl’s favorite restaurants for […]
A Speedy Recovery
There are still sheets of ice in the circular drive of the complex where we live left over from the big snow storm. Even though the temperature during the day has been like Spring, the big chunks of ice seem to get bigger. The other day as my dad was out for a walk, he […]
Blessings in the Day
I was feeling so blessed today. Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Of course, I feel blessed because of my encounter at Lourdes when I was a child. I wrote about the specifics of that experience last year. So, her feast day is always on my calendar. There was a special Mass […]
Political Hot Spot
There is nothing like politics in New Hampshire. When I first moved to the place, everyone told me about it, but when I first experienced it for myself, I understood. People take politics and their candidates very seriously. And because NH truly is state with small communities, during campaign season candidates turn up literally anywhere. […]
Unexpected Encouragement
Today I received an encouraging note from a beautiful soul that I haven’t seen in over a year. We would see each other in church meetings and such and talk about how best to reach out to other people. She was always a kind face that reflected her loving heart. It meant so much to me […]
What is Success
A good friend and I went to dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday. We have been friends for about 25 years now and have always had a great time when we get together. She is one of those people that attract and/or intrigue other people. The hostess in the restaurant sat us at a booth in the bar. […]
Good Friend Connection
Many years ago I moved to a new location and found a new church. I met a woman who became one of my best friends. Together we worked with the teenagers in the parish, trying to start up some type of youth ministry. Neither of us knew exactly what we were doing, but exposed the […]
Jesus Calling
I was so happy to connect to my prayer group via Facetime tonight. Even though I am not able to be there in person and it has been a while since I have talked with them, it is as beautiful as a biological sisterhood. We are able to talk to each other safely about whatever is […]
