Life
Making Plans
Today’s reflection from Jesus Always was a reminder of the stress and futility that can come from trying to plan out the details of life. I have learned this over and over again. And when I make plans and they fall through, it causes anxiety as I try to regroup and get back on track. […]
God’s Way
I saw a quote today from TobyMac that resonated with me. One day you’re going to look back and be grateful that life played out God’s way and not yours. I Found God today in words to ponder.
Blessed Time
Today I was running errands and perusing outdoor games. I came across a water balloon slingshot and was reminded of my Youth Ministry days. I particularly thought of the Workcamp trips that we would take each year. We spent one week serving the community and fixing up houses for those who were unable to do […]
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 […]
Your God
I saw a good quote today from Chris Stefanick worth sharing. “If your God let’s you do whatever you want, then your God is you.” I Found God today in words to make you think.
Born For This
I started listening to a podcast on the Hallow app called The Rescue Project led by Fr. John Riccardo. Yesterday was the first session. It was incredibly encouraging as the priest talked about how God breathed life into you and me at this particular point in time. Each of us is here, in this place, […]
For Love of Music and Faith
At lunch today, my mom and her friend were reminiscing about their time working together. They met about 50 years ago and collaborated in music ministry for a somewhat new church. The congregation initially met in a school, then moved to a temporary building, then built a church. My mom was the organist and her […]
Grateful For Findings
When my mom got up this morning, she seemed to be more confused than normal. After talking with her and letting some time pass, the confusion lingered. I wondered what this was. Was it from a new medication? Was it low sodium – because it was checked a couple weeks ago and was running on […]
Babies and Babies
We always enjoy videos of babies and baby animals. It just makes a person smile and feel good. When our friend came over today, she shared a video of her 1 year old granddaughter in the wading pool during the 4th of July. She was splashing away and enjoying the toys in the water with […]
Glorious Adventure
My mom read today’s reflection from “Jesus Calling”, and I thought it was quite profound and encouraging. It said in part, “Draw near to Me with a thankful heart, aware that your cup is overflowing with blessings….You will never be in control of your circumstances, but you can relax and trust in My control. Instead […]
