Generosity
Generous Founders
Today I went with a group of friends to a museum which was the oldest house in the city. The beautifully preserved brick house was built in 1873 by a former military man. He was good friends with and served under the general who was a founding father of the city. Both of the men […]
That’s Perseverance
My neighbors just returned from another mission trip. They had gone every year, but recently the wife had health issues and they thought perhaps their travelling days were over. However, upon her recovery, they discerned that God was still calling them to the work, even though they are well into their 70’s. This time they […]
Spell “World”
I was visiting a friend today when she received a phone call. She answered and put it on speaker. As she was talking with the woman, she asked her if she could tell me about their relationship. The woman agreed and could hear everything she said. My friend was a special education teacher for many […]
Great Neighbors
This afternoon one of my neighbors stopped over with her grandchildren. They had decorated some cookies and were sharing them. The woman and the 2 little girls came in while we visited for a bit. The girls were interested in the nativity set and we talked about how today is Epiphany. One of the girls […]
Syrup
I am trying to get back to more healthy eating, so today I made some tuna salad with an apple cider vinegar “de-tox” dressing. While I was at it, I decided to make some granola. I had some pecans and some coconut flakes and found a recipe that sounded good. It called for maple syrup. […]
The Church Pew
Today I visited an elderly friend. While I was there, my 12:00 noon timer went off. Many years ago, my mother said she remembered when she was in school as a child, they would pray the Angelus when the church bells rang at noon. So, I set the alarm. My mom and I and whoever […]
Loving Treatment
Today I visited my elderly woman as usual on Mondays. We read the Gospel for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception for Communion. She knew all about it. Her son and his wife brought her with them to another state this weekend so the family could have a baby shower for her grandson. In other […]
Full Of Thanks
I felt so blessed on Thanksgiving this year and had so much to be grateful for. As soon as I awoke, friends and family started sharing messages of gratitude. I decided to go to Mass in the morning. It was such a beautiful way to start the day. There was a bell choir directed and […]
Continued Birthday
Today may be the last day of my week long birthday celebration and I felt like I received so many gifts. This morning I talked to my aunt who turned 90 on our mutual birthday. I thanked her for the card and beautiful blouse she sent me from her favorite QVC. She told me about […]
Delighted to Give
I saw a quote today from CS Lewis that touched my heart: How God loves us; not because we are lovable but because He is love, not because He needs to receive but He delights to give. I Found God today reminded of God’s generous love.
