Generosity
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 […]

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.
Preparing the Turkey
I went to the Newman Center today and enjoyed visiting with the young adults. I love to hear their outlook on life in their current state of being. Some have a deep faith, others are searching. Today I was especially enthralled watching one of the young men preparing the turkey for tomorrow’s Friendsgiving dinner. He […]
The Drones
A couple of weeks ago, my sons asked if I was free last night. I said I was. They said that they would pick me up and planned something for my birthday. I had no idea what it was. My siblings and I tried to guess in our weekly Zoom session before they arrived. I […]
