Still Counting My Blessings
Today was my oldest son’s birthday. Per his request I made chicken enchiladas and a fruit pizza which I haven’t made in a very long time. I spent the afternoon at his house helping to make sure my daughter in law was doing ok. She gets a little better every day since the ankle surgery […]
Counting My Blessings
I have had a song going through my head all day today. It was “Counting My Blessings” by Seph Schlueter. As it ran through my head, I did in fact reflect on all the blessings God has given me – family, friends, faith, home, food. Then I started looking closer and being even more grateful. […]
Three For Tea
A few weeks ago, my son’s fiancee invited me to tea with her and her mom. We went today. It was in a “castle” that belonged to one of the city’s founders. The property was 700 acres set back into the foothills with beautiful scenery. It had been acquired some years ago by a Christian […]
The 3 P’s
I talked with my friend today who is a Stephens Minister. We have been meeting together, talking, and praying for many months. We chatted for a while and she asked me some pointed, reflective questions. She helps me to think about where I’ve been, where I’m going, and my relationship with God. When it came […]
Doing Well So Far
My daughter in law had surgery on her ankle last week. Today I took her to her doctor’s appointment. After carefully getting her out of the house and into the car, we packed up her knee scooter and off we went. She initially had fun on her scooter as it rolled much easier on the […]
A Holy Moment
I was happy to see a friend to sit with at Mass this morning. Afterwards we decided to go downstairs to partake in the Knights of Columbus breakfast. Today they served breakfast burritos, which were pretty tasty. As we ate, a gentleman approached my friend and gave her a big hug. I got to know […]
The Dark Drive
Since my daughter in law is incapacitated from her ankle surgery a few days ago, I have been helping them out. Tonight I picked up one of my grandsons from an event. It was the first time I drove at night with my new glasses. It was wonderful. I don’t usually even drive at night. […]
Safe in the Storm
My sister and her husband live near the eastern coast of Florida. Earlier this week we talked with them about the incoming hurricane. They were going to sit it out in their home. It is a fairly new house and made of concrete blocks. They brought in all the outdoor furniture and plants and anything […]
Surgery Went Well
My daughter in law has been having troubles with one of her ankles for a very long time. Finally she was able to find a doctor who diagnosed the torn ligament properly. Today she had surgery on it. My son took the day off work to be with her. I helped by picking the kids […]
Memories of Mom
This morning I was up early and went to Mass right away. I went to the church that my parents and I belonged to many years ago. At that time, my mom played the organ for the choir and her friend was the director. My dad sang and I did also for a few years. […]
