Generosity
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.
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 […]
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
A friend of mine knew a family whose child was in an acting troupe, so today we went to their production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. It was fantastic fun. I love the movie and wondered how they were going to fit all of that on a stage, but they did a […]
Blankets for Homeless
Today I spent some time at the St. John Henry Newman Center with an amazing young woman. She was making a tie blanket, so I offered to help. I asked her who would be getting the blankets. She said she was making them for homeless people. They wouldn’t be handed out in any organized manner, […]
Many Blessings
Yesterday while I was driving, I talked to my son who was also driving. We were both heading back home. He had driven his son to the Southeast for his new job, so he was on the southern route and I was on the northern route. We joked about who would cross the mountain time […]
Family Caregivers
My aunt told my sister and I some great stories today of caring for others in many ways. She reminded us that her mother had a baby who died shortly after he was born. I had forgotten all about it. He was buried in a grave along side of many other infants. For many years, […]
