Guardian Angels
This morning I was thinking about my dad’s care, which I often do. I still hope for that perfect answer. I was wishing there could be someone whose only task is to look out for him 24/7. Of course, I know God is. So is his guardian angel. I have a pill reminder app on […]
Resist
Sometimes I forget that there is a supernatural battle going on for our souls. I can let negative thoughts or emotions take over. I enjoyed the scripture I read tonight as a reminder: 1 Peter 5:8-9a “Stay sober and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. […]
Overwhelmed
I can all too often find myself feeling overwhelmed. Such was the case earlier today. I thought I was starting the year off on a good path, when a phone call and conversation set me off. When I realized where my emotions were heading, first thing I did was walk away and take a time […]
Olympic Stories
My mom has been wanting to visit the new US Olympic Paralympic Museum. I had read about it and knew it was outfitted with top of the line interactive technology. We thought it would be great to bring the family. The grandkids were off school and my sons were off work, so we planned the […]
New Year’s Prayer
A friend shared a prayer for the new year that I thought was fitting and beautiful: Thank you God for giving me. The brand new year ahead. Help me live the way I should. As each new day I tread. Give me gentle wisdom. That I might help a friend. Give me strength and courage. […]
Light Adventure
My mom really enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights the other night and told her friend all about them when she came for a visit. She had never seen the couple special houses that we go to every year. We were surprised at that, so my mom invited her to come out with us and take […]
Plays Well With Others
Today my mom’s friend came over as usual to visit and play the pianos. When my dad and I were looking at the t-shirt catalog, one of the first ones that struck him was one that I purchased for both my mom and her friend. My mom opened hers on Christmas. When her friend opened […]
Our Holy Families
Today is the Feast of the Holy Family. Right at the beginning of Mass, the priest defined “Holy” as something that is set apart for God. It doesn’t mean being a person who lives a perfect life. A Chalice is Holy as it’s only purpose is to hold the Blood of Christ during Mass. Therefore, […]
Merry Christmas
This Christmas was full of unexpected circumstances, laughter, tons of food, and ultimately joy. My sister and brother in law have had a lot going on during the past few months. He had a cancer surgery and just last week had surgery on his back. In the midst of it all, they sold their big […]
Time Reading
When my mom and I arrived to visit my dad this morning, he was in his apartment. One of the caregivers got him ready for the day and was sitting with him. They were looking at his “Jesus Calling” book. The young woman said he had been reading it to her. My heart swelled. Seems […]
