Picking Out the Suit
Today I had the amazing privilege to go with my son to pick out a suit for his wedding day. He had tried a couple of stores, but struggled to find something that fit him properly. He picked me up and while we were on our way to the shop, he told me about the […]
Dream of Heaven
A young man that I have known since he was in high school lost his father almost 2 years ago. I wanted to visit his dad’s grave, so the young man tried to explain to me where it was. Then he offered to take me there, which really touched my heart. We got together tonight […]
Continued Family Relationships
Today I was catching up with a friend who I would see every now and again as they came out to visit her husband’s family. They were struggling trying to help care for his parents while living in another state. His father passed away several years ago and his mother died just over a year […]
Close Family
This evening I visited a family I hadn’t seen in years, but we had kept in touch on and off. I had seen the 3 kids through the years of youth ministry and had known somewhat of their college days. Now, of course, all of them are young adults living their own lives. But they […]
It’s Confusing
Today I met with my prayer group. We looked at the Gospel reading from John 14:23-29. One of the gentlemen started off with how confusing it was to him. We talked about the concept of the Holy Trinity, and how can God the Father be greater than Jesus if they are one in the same, […]
Beautiful Transformation
Today I talked with a far away friend who I haven’t spoken to in quite some time. She has struggled physically for years and has always done her best to stay independent. But as time went on, she fell more often and could no longer drive. We talked about what our children and grandchildren were […]
Mother’s Day Blessings
First thing this morning I got a couple of texts. Some were from different people wishing me a happy Mother’s Day. One was from my cousin who remembered it is the first Mother’s Day without my mom and she was praying for me. I was so grateful for her thoughtfulness, as my mom was definitely […]
Peace in Remembering
Today is my dad’s birthday. I was happy to be able to go to church this morning and pray for him. I also prayed for my daughter in law and her family as yesterday was the anniversary of her dad’s death. I prayed a rosary, went to Mass, and spent some quiet alone time just […]
Laughing With Children
Today I went over to a friend’s house while she was taking care of her 2 grandchildren. They are ages 2 1/2 and 1 years old. I had met them before, but the last time the younger one was crawling. Now he was walking and very proud of it. His face just beamed as he […]
All the Weather
My son and his fiancee went to a wedding over the weekend. I told them I would pick them up from the airport tonight. The weather has been unsettled, so I checked the hourly forecast and radar. It showed there would be some rain showers probably on the way back. Still, I knew that may […]
