Sit with Me

Each day I make time when I wake up and right before I go to bed to have a chat with Father. I thank him for the gifts of the day, ask him for guidance as I begin the day, and lift some prayers for others who are in need. It really is a regrounding…

It’s America

Yesterday my husband and I took a ride to a farm about an hour from us. I’ve heard about it, and follow them on social media. Each day the owner does a check-in from the farm. She’ll show the chickens running around, the sheep, the cattle, you get the idea. Recently she has showcased the…

“Joe” and the Gym

Yesterday morning I went to the gym as I usually do. It’s always fun trying to get a parking space as there is a class before mine. I had to park a little further away than usual, and I noticed that there was someone in the car across from me. I hopped out of the…

Lately, I’ve been praying about some things that I truly have no control over. Isn’t that when challenges seem the greatest when we have no control over them? We want to just fix things, we want to just make things better, but at the end of the day, we really do have to just give…

No Connection – No Problem

Have you ever left your phone somewhere and realized later that it truly wasn’t the end of the world? Actually, it was kind of nice not to have it with you, to just enjoy the silence. I’ve found myself in that situation a few times lately, and yes I’ve enjoyed the break and have found…

Father in the Midst

Yesterday was a very full and busy day, and you know what, Father was in the midst of all of it. A few days ago I mentioned a parishioner who I spent time with while she was planning her husband’s memorial service. Well, yesterday we held that service and it was simply beautiful. The memories…

Gratitude and Guidance

Together – In the Dark

It’s not every day that you get to see an eclipse like so many saw yesterday. Some of the pictures were pretty incredible. Many said “It went dark”, “You could see the stars”, “Street lights came on”, “It was like night”, “The birds stopped chirping”, and so many more comments. So for all the ugliness…

Father and the Dog

If you’ve read this little blog for long you know that we have a little contingent of fur babies around the neighborhood. I kind of live dog ownership through their visits each day. I’ve been known to stop my car and hop out to get some puppy kisses from them. Well last night was another…

Look at Me

These last few days I’ve had the opportunity to see some pretty simple but beautiful things. This morning as I was thinking about this little blog and what to share I started recalling these moments. Father just so easily puts things in our path to make us see Him more clearly, and so often we…
