Hosting Prayer Group
I have been getting together with my prayer group for many years. We take turns meeting at each other’s homes. All this time I have never had them at my house. We would occasionally have the neighbors over for a short visit, but in general my dad wasn’t comfortable having people over. I think it […]
Perfect Love
Early this morning I started receiving Happy Valentine’s texts from a group of friends. There were some funny and some sweet. I was again grateful for their friendship and the way everyone is so supportive and caring of one another. Later I got a reminder of photos I took last year. They were of my […]
Love and Faith
Today a friend shared with me a story about his sister and her husband. It was an article published in the AMAC magazine. Theirs was a a beautiful love story. From the time they met when the woman was 16, they knew they were meant for each other. She waited for him to complete his […]
Blessing of the Deacon
Today I was surprised to learn that one of the deacons from my parish was moving out of state. This particular gentleman has been such a blessing to me for many years. I met him when I took my 4-year Bible Study class. He was in my small group for 2 of those 4 years […]
Sharing My Story
The other day I came across a few prayer cards to Our Lady of Lourdes. Typically I go to Mass on the feast day, which is today. I thought it would be nice to go to the Newman Center for Mass with my friend who also was there when we buried my father 3 years […]
Close To Same Situation
When I was unable to take my mom to church any longer, I was able to bring her Communion. I had connected with some wonderful people at the church who were very supportive and loving. A couple of days ago, one of the ladies called and asked if I would be interested in bringing Communion […]
Celebrating Sister
My sister has been house sitting for some friends in the mountains, so I haven’t seen her for a while. Her birthday was several weeks back and we didn’t have a chance to celebrate. She came to town today, so we decided to celebrate her. We went to get Mexican food with my sons and […]
Being Courageous
Today was sunny and warm, but very windy, so much so that there was a High Wind Warning. I planned on taking a day trip to the cabin but questioned whether it would be a good idea, especially since I was going alone. I examined the weather report carefully. There was really nothing in it […]
All is Well
My son had a doctor’s appointment today, so I helped drive kids. I picked up my grandson from a rock climbing event that was part of his school’s program. On the way home, he told me all about it and how much he enjoys the sport. He also talked about an opportunity he had making […]
Oh Deer
Today I met with my prayer group at one of the couple’s house. We discussed the upcoming Sunday’s Gospel, Luke 5:1-11. It is the story of Jesus telling Peter to cast his fishing net out into the deep water. Peter seemingly reluctant as he fished all night and caught nothing, does as Jesus asked. He […]
