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 […]
Housing More Children
I was visiting with my neighbor tonight when she received a call from her daughter in law. She was asking if she could borrow the small mattress that her son uses when he spends the night at “Mimi’s”. My neighbor explained that her son and his wife are involved in an organization that is similar […]
Brownies at Home
My granddaughter, daughter in law, and I made plans to go out and do something fun each week for the last 3 weeks before school starts. However, when we tried to go to the zoo, my granddaughter became very car sick and we were unable to enjoy the day. Another day we did go to […]
His Rosary
I decided to go to church today when I realized the Gospel reading was of the Transfiguration. For whatever reason, that is one of my favorite stories. I try to imagine what it must have been like for the apostles to experience a little foretaste of Heaven. I arrived a little early to find the […]
No Caregiver
I went to visit my elderly woman today and was surprised that her caregiver’s car wasn’t there. As I was approaching the door, I was hoping everything was alright. The woman’s son greeted me and said that the woman was upstairs. He went to his workplace in the house. Then his wife popped her head […]
More Music
My brother is here going through the last few cassette tapes that we found. Years ago, he spent time with my dad digitizing the tapes of my mom playing piano and singing in different venues, and of family recordings. However, as I was sorting out things, I came across a handful of cassettes that my […]
