Life
True Kindness
Before taking my road trip back in May, I took my car in for an oil change and to check things over. At that time, they said I would need new brakes when I returned. But, for the past few months, I have just been busy doing things and didn’t make the time to take […]
Getting Real
My son called me today and gave me an update on his pre-wedding happenings. He said he picked up his suit that he will be wearing and had to find a place to hide it in his closet. He and his fiancee have been moving her things into the house and they were making one […]
Babies Know
On Monday mornings, I visit with an elderly woman who has dementia and bring her Holy Communion. Then we chat for a while if she is feeling up to it. I brought her the church bulletin today and we looked through it a little bit. There was an advertisement for a person to work in […]
Owning Up
Tonight I had the privilege of sharing dinner with the group at the Newman Center. On Thursday evenings after Mass, a different group of people provide meals for the students to treat them to home cooked food. This was the 2nd event that was held since school started. There were about 30 young people in […]
Thinking Of Heaven
Today I saw a thought provoking quote by St. Teresa of Avila. “Life is to love in such a way, that we are not afraid to die.” The more I keep my eyes and thoughts on God, the more I want to be with Him. If that is true, then when it comes time for […]
Eyes On God
As I was praying about what to blog about tonight, I opened my phone and part of Psalm 27 popped up. When I turn on the news, the world around me seems to get more and more frightening. I know I probably shouldn’t turn it on at all. But the Psalm was a good reminder […]
Little Boy, Big Heart
I was talking with my neighbor this morning and she told me about spending the day with her 7 year old grandson. They went up to the mountains and road a train. They also saw some mines which is the little boys new obsession. On the drive home, they passed a huge plot of land. […]
Humming
I spent some time volunteering at the Newman Center today. One of the young ladies was humming as she went from here to there. I loved hearing that. I told her I enjoyed her humming and it reminded me of my mother who always had a song playing. The young woman said that she felt […]
Going To Be All Together
My son’s wedding is in just a couple weeks now. I have been talking with my siblings about coming and staying at my house. My nephew and his wife are coming too. Everyone wants to stay here and be all together. Today my sister reminded us of a time many years ago when we were […]
Painful Best
I saw a quote today from C.S. Lewis that read, “We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.” That reminded me of my thoughts over the past several years. I always knew God was along side us in […]
