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 […]

Unexpected Family

My ex-husband’s brother was in town today and stopped over for a visit. While we’re friends on social media, the last time I saw him in person was when their mother died about 20 years ago. But talking with him was as if only a short period of time had elapsed. Among other things, he […]

The Point

For the past few weeks, I have been chatting with a friend whose husband became very ill from some food while they took a family vacation abroad. Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse and he passed away the other day. One thing she questioned was why God would take her husband? Why wouldn’t he […]

God First

I met with my prayer group tonight and as usual, we read the upcoming Gospel for this Sunday. The scripture tells us that we should prioritize God before anyone or anything else in our lives. One of the ladies shared that early on in her relationship with her husband, he told her that his relationship […]
