Grateful
Done with PT
Last year, after my mom died, I think my body retaliated. I had lots of strange things such as styes in my eye, more basal skin spots, and rapid weight gain. I was also in a lot of pain – particularly in my back. My doctor gave me the treatment options, one of which was […]
God’s Flat Tire
It was a very interesting day today. I went to physical therapy this morning and then drove around the neighborhood a bit, stopping at a garage sale. When I got home, I jumped in the shower. While I was in there, I talked to God a bit as is normal. I got a sense that […]
Beautiful Transformation
Today I talked with a far away friend who I haven’t spoken to in quite some time. She has struggled physically for years and has always done her best to stay independent. But as time went on, she fell more often and could no longer drive. We talked about what our children and grandchildren were […]
God’s Connections
Yesterday as I was running errands, I was nearing the intersection of the church. Looking at the time, I realized Mass would be starting soon and got the feeling that I should go. I thought of all the things I had to do, but I know I should follow those promptings, so I went into […]
Grandson’s Graduation
This evening was my grandson’s high school graduation. His grandfather came for the event and those who couldn’t come were able to watch online. It was funny because at one point, my daughter in law was texting with her sisters across the country and the camera was pointed in such an angle that they could […]
The Finches
I have been bringing Holy Communion to an elderly woman with dementia and went over this morning. Her caregiver was just getting her ready to go sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I went out too where we had our little Communion service. She is always so grateful. When we were finished, we looked around […]
Passing Along
The intention for Mass at my church today was for my mom since it is her birthday. Our friend who my mom played piano with for so many years came to church with me. The Psalm 27 seemed particularly fitting, especially the response, “One thing I seek; to dwell on the house of the Lord.” […]
Peace in Remembering
Today is my dad’s birthday. I was happy to be able to go to church this morning and pray for him. I also prayed for my daughter in law and her family as yesterday was the anniversary of her dad’s death. I prayed a rosary, went to Mass, and spent some quiet alone time just […]
Puppy Antics
After a fun, family weekend at the cabin, we got things ready to go home this morning. My brother was scheduled to arrive this afternoon as he returned for the summer, so we wanted to make sure everything was ready for him as well. My son and his wife recently got a new puppy and […]
Second Craft Fair
Today we went to the craft fair. I brought my dad’s photos, my son brought his candles, and his wife brought the tumblers she made. It was a small venue with many of the same customers as the fair in the Fall – mainly the residents of the immediate community. I was happy to sell […]
