Joy
The Party
Today was my granddaughter’s birthday party. She had a friend over and her little sister. As girls do, they started giggling and being silly. I loved watching them playing and laughing. They didn’t have any inhibitions or bad behavior – just sheer enthusiasm and joy. It was so uplifting. I Found God today in children’s […]
Early Presents
Tomorrow is my granddaughter’s birthday. She and her mom stopped by after school today so my mom could give her gifts. Before they arrived, my mom practiced playing the Happy Birthday song on the piano. When they walked in the door, I told my granddaughter that her first gift was at the piano where my […]
Photo Album
My granddaughter’s birthday is coming up next week. The other day my mom found a small photo album she had with pictures of my granddaughter soon after she was born. There were many empty pages left. My mom said she had wanted to fill up the rest of the book and give it to her […]
Little Free Library Plus
I was happy to take a walk tonight in the cool air. I went down a street that I normally avoid because there are barking dogs there. I came to the house with the dogs, which was surprisingly quiet. On the corner of the front yard was a Little Free Library. It was painted red […]
Phoning Friend
Today I was looking through my social media comments and saw a friend’s name. At that same time, my phone rang and her name popped up. She was calling me. That was quite a surprise. I told her about the funny coincidence and we laughed. It had been a while since we talked and got […]
Cousin Cuties
My mom’s sister has 2 young great grandchildren. So, they are my cousin’s grandchildren. Today, my mom and I saw the pictures and a video that my cousin shared from the 4th of July. The little girls were just the cutest. We watched the video of the youngest one over and over as she described […]
First Mass
When I went to church this morning, I was surprised to see about 20 priests on the altar. It was the first Mass for a young priest who was recently ordained. The congregation was full of family and friends as well. It was a beautiful celebration. The music really add to the holiness and reverence […]
Thunderbirds
It was an exciting day around the city as the Air Force Academy graduation was today. President Biden was in town to address the graduates. And the Air Force Thunderbirds took to the sky. I had errands to run today, but saw them in formation a couple of times. There were a lot of people […]
Loving Eyes
As part of my morning prayers today, I read Psalm 65. It talks about how God has created such a beautiful world that we live in. I thought about some of the camping trips I have made. Several times, I have been blessed to be on the top of a large mountain and overlooking the […]
Hats For All
My mom’s piano friend came over today and told us a story of a woman that she knew from her church. Every week the woman would wear at hat to church. That reminded me of a woman I used to know who also wore a hat to church every week. We lovingly called her the […]
