Generosity
Helpful Family
My son and his wife have had a lot of work to do in their yard and their deck has been in very bad shape. Being first time parents, it has been difficult for them to focus on anything except the baby. My son’s dad flew in from out of town for a couple of […]
Retreat Day
My sister and I spent today on a woman’s retreat at a local hotel. The theme for the day was “Beloved” – a reminder that we are God’s beloved daughters and that He is always with us and for us. We started with Mass. It was so beautiful to hear all the ladies’ voices praising […]
Generous Stranger
My brother and I have been selling many items online and meeting up with people for the exchange. It has been working out quite well. This morning we met a gentleman who purchased some electronic equipment. He handed me the money which I looked at and put in my pocket. He told us he had […]
Generous Founding Father
Today I spent time with a group of friends from church. We went to brunch, then we toured a local attraction. It was a castle tucked back against the foothills that was built by one of the city’s founders in the late 1800’s. He was way ahead of his time with the extras that he […]
Such Strength

So Thoughtful
My brother and I have been continuing to work on clearing out the houses. He has been such a big help, which is part of who he is. He is very helpful, thoughtful, and generous. We decided to take a break this afternoon and went to one of the family favorites – the zoo. It […]
Such Generosity
I was telling my brother all about my trip today and updated him on the family members I visited. I thought about how each person lives their lives in an ordinary way, yet are caring, supportive, and making a difference in the lives of those around them. One cousin is a devout Catholic and has […]
Arrived Safely
My son’s family made the decision to move further South. My son got a job there, they got a house to rent, and they packed up most of their things. I offered to help drive and bring children. They also have 3 dogs. The plan was to pack the rest of their belongings in the […]
Talking Stocks
When I help the older couple that I know, we get to chatting about all kinds of things. The husband told me about some of the stocks that he has bought and sold. I told him about my brother who had been able to make a living in his retirement by working the stock market. […]
Pork Chops
My brother has been working hard at the cabin to get it ready to sell. It was finally ready for the photos yesterday. Today he came to the city to pick up his camper that was having some annual maintenance done. After he got the camper to it’s summer storage unit, he came to my […]
