Healing
Angel in a Time of Need
As my mom and I were out walking today, we met up with a neighbor. It was the man who was quick on the scene when my father fell and broke his thumb. The more I talk to him, the more I realize what an angel he was and what a blessing it is that […]
Signs of Jesus
A few years ago, my daughter-in-law’s mother fought a battle against ovarian cancer – and won. Every year since then, the family has done the fundraising walk. This year, my grandson made t-shirts for him, his brother, and his new little sister. They were very creative and very cute. I saw pictures from the walk […]
Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes
Today the Home Health Care provider came and talked with my sister to get services set up. He had some good information and suggestions to help her recover and heal. She does have a skin infection that her doctor noted and has started taking antibiotics for. We are a bit concerned as she had MRSA […]
Grateful for Caretakers
I spent the day with my sister as she prepares to come to our house for a few weeks to continue recovering from her broken leg. First thing in the morning, the transport van came to take us to my sister’s doctor appointment. She was a little loopy from her pain medication, but funny. The guy […]
Close Friends, Lifted Spirits, Good Care
I started this morning by making cinnamon rolls with my grandson. Then I headed off to see some friends that I haven’t seen for a long time. I met my prayer group for breakfast. Of course, there were lots of hugs and tears all around as we shared our significant moments with each other. One […]
This Just Might Happen
I planned on taking a trip to see my new grand daughter leaving tomorrow. Today started out with a usual unexpected happening. My mom woke up with a very red eye. It had been bothering her for a couple of days as it felt scratchy and irritated. But today it looked as though someone punched […]
Healing of Sorts
Last night I said that I was sure my mom would have a wonderful night sleep and wake up refreshed this morning after attending the Healing Mass. In reality, that does not happen very often. But when I saw my mother this morning, she said she had such a good night sleep that she had […]
A Healing Mass
Tonight my mother and I attended a “Healing Mass” at our church. The priest was visiting from New Jersey and here for a Catholic conference. He was very charismatic in his words and prayers. The majority of the people in the church were very enthusiastic as his energy was contagious. One thing that really struck […]
Nature Heals the Weary Spirit
Today was a gorgeous day. I got up early early and met my sister and her husband for breakfast. Then we went for a hike. We started at the top of a canyon and followed the trail along the ridge. We stopped at several overlooks to get a good view of the canyon walls and […]
Out of Addiction
Tonight I was able to connect with my prayer group via Facetime. It is always uplifting to be with this wonderful group of women. Two of them recently opened an interior decorating shop. They said that every day they speak to people who share their faith with them. One of the ladies told a story of stopping […]
