Prayer
Be Still and Know That I am God
Tonight I joined my prayer group, who is across the country, via speaker phone. Although it was not in person, it was still wonderful to connect. We each received a journal that we will use as we contemplate scripture together. The cover of the journal has the scripture, “Be still and know that I am God.” […]
Still Faithful
A few years ago, a wonderful teenager asked me to be her Confirmation sponsor. Of course I said I would and it was a beautiful day. I have tried to stay in touch with her as she graduated from high school and even college. I sent cards and trinkets for special occasions. Like so many […]
The Pacemaker
I woke up several times last night thinking about my mom’s upcoming surgery. I was happy when it was finally time to get up. My dad and I got to the hospital bright and early, and they had already taken her to get prepared. The nurse took us to the area and we were glad […]
Serenity Prayer
I read a reflection that was delivered to my email this morning and it included the “Serenity Prayer”. I know the first part of this prayer by heart as I used to say it every day. I thought about the time when I learned the prayer. Many years ago, I felt my life was in […]
Trusting Jesus
My parents and I decided to go to church this evening to avoid a potential snow storm. My dad drove and mom always gets the front passenger seat, so I was in the back. Typically, I like to drive. First of all, I really enjoy it. And probably like most people, I feel more of […]
New Church Experience
Tonight I decided to go to an evening of prayer and supper at the church. My parents were not up to going out in the frigid weather, so I went by myself. I have not been going to this church a very long and have not participated in anything outside of Sunday Mass, so I realized […]
Unity In Prayer
A few years ago, a very faith-filled friend of mine felt pulled to create a small prayer group. For almost a year before that I had been continually praying for a group of women to pray and meet with on a regular basis. So when she called to ask what I thought about her idea, […]
Worship With Music
Today my dad found an old cassette tape that my brother was looking for. It was a recording of my brother many years ago when he performed with a music group called the “Revelation Generation”. The group was made up mostly of Christian young adults and the focus was to stand up for Christianity and […]
Praying the Day
This morning I read my daily devotion that continued on the theme of happiness. It was a quote: “You pray, you love—that is the happiness of man upon the earth.” ST. JEAN MARIE BAPTIST VIANNEY, THE CURE OF ARS Quite honestly, my prayer life has been lacking. I don’t like feeling far away from God and […]
Get Prepared and Equipped
My parents and I had planned to go to church yesterday evening, but the storm that blew in changed that. So, despite the frigid cold and snow which shut down most of the Sunday activities, I made my way to church this morning. I knew I needed to be there and was so glad I went. […]
