Plan
Not By Sight
I talked to the people at the church today and asked about the Mass for my dad that was cancelled. The man who I spoke to said it would be rescheduled to another day and asked if there was a specific date I wanted. I thought it would be nice to have it on his […]
Most Energy
I had a list of errands to run today, however, our friend who usually comes to stay with mom wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t make it. There was a time when this would have really thrown me off. I am glad that I have learned that everything happens in God’s time, in God’s plan. My […]
Faithfully Stay the Course
This morning the bishop of our Diocese celebrated Mass in our parish. I have seen him once in person and a couple of times online. He is a very humble, peaceful man and always speaks in a way that is important and relevant. Today he pointed out that as Jesus was making His way back […]
Moving Forward
Today I saw a quote by Toby Mac that touched my heart: You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. I Found God today in a reminder to keep moving forward.
Positive Resolutions
My mom and I made it up to see my dad this afternoon. He looked pitiful but got in a chuckle or a smile every now and again. I spoke with the director, caregivers, and his PCP. I was surprised to learn that by law the doors to the courtyards must remain unlocked at all […]
Love God, Love Your Neighbor
The Mass readings for today included Deuteronomy 6:2-6 and Mark 12:28-34. In the first reading, Moses gave the law to Israel to “…love the LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.” In the Gospel, Jesus expanded on this by adding, “You shall love your neighbor […]
Re-Scheduling
We have been trying to find a good time to visit with my dad while he is still getting settled into his new surroundings. It seems he has been getting up at night and wandering or rearranging his room. If we go to visit mid-morning, he’s fast asleep. If we go later in the afternoon, […]
Meaningful Message
My sisters called this morning asking about watching Mass on TV with my parents. The church we usually watch was difficult to get connected, so they watched the local parish. Later on family Zoom, my sister told me how much she like the priest and his homily. He talked about some of the traditions of […]
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 […]
According to Plan
My parents had their appointment with their cardiologist today. I called the office to make sure they would be seen with our recent covid scare and was assured it would be fine. After the stressful time last week going to the wrong place, we developed a plan before we left the house. Once we got […]
