You Are That Special
I went to prayer group tonight and we got on the topic of the universe and creation. Specifically, how amazing it is when you see photos of the universe and the little tiny space that our Earth takes up. When you then think about each person on our planet, we are quite minute indeed. I […]
Future Love
As I was listening to the radio today, I heard a beautiful statement, “God doesn’t love your future self more than your current self.” In other words, God loves us individually, perfectly, at all times, in all circumstances of life. That gave me comfort and hope. I Found God today reminded that He loves me […]
She Did Remember
This is typically celebration season in our household. During about a 2 week period is my parents’ anniversary and both of their birthdays. My mom’s is coming up in a couple of days and everyone has been making a big deal about it. This morning when she got up, she thought we were going to […]
Sharing Eclipse
I was excited to see the eclipse today, even though we weren’t in the path of totality. I found our glasses that we used in the past and got ready for our 79% coverage. My siblings were texting as one brother was camped near Dallas and hoping the clouds would disperse. My other brother planned […]
Back to God
The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes always gives me pause to reflect and I welcome the opportunity. This morning I found the Lourdes Live station on YouTube and was immediately brought back there in my memory. As a child it was an overwhelming experience that I couldn’t have been prepared for and one that […]
Many Reminders
As I was driving to an appointment this morning, I saw the moon setting behind the mountain. It was such a beautiful scene that was almost identical to what I saw 2 years ago when my dad entered Hospice Care in the hospital. The first morning I went to see him, I opened the blinds […]
Double Hawk Blessing
I was tired this morning, but able to go out and run a couple errands. On my way home I was even more tired and wondering when I would have energy again. As I was getting on the highway, a red tailed hawk swooped right in front of me, talons extended as it landed on […]
Giving Tree Gifts
My son and grandson were also sick this week, but my daughter in law and other kids were able to pick out some gifts for the church giving tree. They brought them by yesterday and my mom and I enjoyed wrapping them. I was happy I felt well enough to go to church today and […]
Gifts For Elderly
Every year I choose 3 tags from the church’s giving tree at Christmas time. I have been choosing kids that are the same age as my grandchildren. Then my grandchildren come shopping with me to pick out the gifts. This weekend as I was perusing the tree, I learned that the parish chose to give […]
Always Have God
Today was a particularly challenging day. As always, God showed up. It was in today’s meditation from “Jesus Calling” which my mom read to us after dinner. It said at the end, “You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have Me with you, helping you to handle whatever […]
