Life
Selfless Saint
Our friend came over today and brought with her an article from the local Catholic Herald. It was the obituary of an elderly gentleman who I had met a couple of times. He was the founder of the Fostering Hope organization that I volunteered with a few years back. The goal of the organization was […]
Admitting Weakness
I have been continuing to listen and reading along with the book, “The Imitation of Christ.” It is deep and heavy for me, but truthful and thought provoking. I’m glad each session is only a few minutes in length. Today was the chapter entitled, “Admitting our weakness and the miseries of this life.” While it […]
Situations
I saw a quote from TobyMac today that made me stop and think. “We ask God to change our situation not knowing He put us in the situation to change us.” I can easily become overwhelmed or frustrated with circumstances. This quote helped me to try to think about things from a different perspective, which […]
Sister’s Call
I share my birthday with my (favorite) aunt – my mother’s sister. We called her, but she was having trouble with her phone. So we sang “Happy Birthday” to her on a voice mail. We texted over the past couple of days and finally were able to talk on the phone today. She still had […]
Always Have God
Today was a particularly challenging day. As always, God showed up. It was in today’s meditation from “Jesus Calling” which my mom read to us after dinner. It said at the end, “You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have Me with you, helping you to handle whatever […]
Church Adventure
This morning my mom decided she felt good enough to go to church, so off we went. Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late to get a handicapped parking spot. Nevertheless, mom used her walker and walked into the church. She was glad to be there and I was glad to take her. When it […]
Craft Fair
My mom was feeling pretty good this morning, so we went to a craft fair where my daughter in law was selling some tumblers and pens that she makes. The place where it was held was only 5 minutes away. We arrived shortly after it started so there weren’t too many people there yet and […]
Near Death Experiences
I have been listening to a series on the Hallow app about near death experiences. It has been enlightening and fascinating. The series is based on studies that have been done and interviews with people of all ages and walks of life who have physically died or nearly died and came back to life. Each […]
Life of Prayers
I read a quote today by one of my favorite musicians – TobyMac. It said, “You are currently living at least one of the prayers you used to pray.” Good thought to ponder. I Found God today thinking about how I’m living my prayers.
Ancestors
I watched the Disney movie Coco last night. It gave an opportunity to think about the importance of family and all those who have gone before. Today a friend shared a graphic called Ancestral Mathematics that I thought was interesting and thoughtful as well. It counted back 12 generations – 4094 ancestors over about 400 […]
