Animal Fair
My dad often has a song running through his head first thing in the morning and sings it for us. Today it was the Animal Fair:“I went to the animal fair,The birds and the beasts were there.The big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair.The monkey, he got drunk,And sat […]
Pray With Confidence
As I’m trying to maintain my prayer life especially during Lent, I read a quote today that inspired me: “Pray with great confidence, with confidence based on the goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly into the hearts of […]
Mysterious Piano Player
Today I came across a very touching video about a mysterious piano player. A young man who lived in an apartment suddenly started hearing a new neighbor play the piano. They corresponded by notes a couple of times. The young man got out his keyboard and starting playing as well. Through their note writing, they […]
Looking Back
Tonight I decided to go back and copy some of my past posts. First of all, I can’t believe I have been writing just about every night for 8 years – including the 2 years I wrote for the church I worked for which is how this whole thing started. There were plenty of memories […]
Living Your Call
Today I got a call from a friend. We talked about all kinds of things for quite a while. At one point she spent a few minutes just encouraging me. It wasn’t a formal prayer, but I felt God speaking to me through her as my eyes welled and heart filled. She talked about how […]
All The Same
Since today is Friday, we decided to pray the Stations of the Cross. We found a video that guided you through the Stations in the Holy Land. The participants were from all around the world and from several different religious orders. My dad made the comment that even though there were so many different people, […]
“Crossing the Bridge”
I have recently been taking a new caregiver’s class. Tonight I watched a TedxTelAviv talk that was shared. It is an older video, but I thought the message was worth pondering. The psychologist Hedy Schleifer talked about relationships existing in the space between people – the sacred space. She discussed the importance of “crossing the […]
Have To Let Go
I saw a quote today from Rachel Marie Martin that touched my heart, “Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought it would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living,” I Found God today in a reminder to live the here and now.
Greeted by the Dogs
When we look outside the window from the dining room, we have a view of a particular house. The people who live there own 3 dogs. The youngest one is barely a year old. It has been fun to see her grow from a puppy and it’s entertaining when the people have all the dogs […]
Stay With You Forever
My mom and dad watched part of the retreat again today. At one point the priest said in regards to God as someone, ” . . . to stay with you forever, loving you . . .” My dad turned to my mom and said, “See – that’s me for you.” I got teary-eyed. I […]
