Live Life

I read a beautiful story last night, posted by a friend on her social media page. It is a story of love, hope, and the ability of God’s children to live life. You see, her elderly father has been having health issues recently, including a stroke. He was scheduled to have surgery in the near…

Share the Sky

Last night, a friend sent me a text message. It was a picture of the most beautiful sunset over the water. She said she had received it from a friend. When she saw it, she said, “It made me think of you”. That makes me smile. Later in the evening, I was checking the social…

When In Doubt

There have been times when I have sat down with Father to pray, and I haven’t known where to even begin. Sounds weird, doesn’t it? I mean, you’re talking to God, it seems like a pretty easy thing to do. Not so much, though, depending on when you are coming to Him. If you are…

It’s Saturday

Yes, yes, it is. A day of rest for many, I hope. This morning, I simply share a prayer for the day. I’m headed off for a little hair and nail pampering, and I hope you all are taking time today to take care of yourself. Give yourself the time you need to just “be”. Father…

Blessings

I’ve realized lately that Father brings people into our lives for a reason. You might be thinking, “Really, you just realized that?”. Well, no, I’ve known that for a long time and have even said it to many people. I suppose what I mean is that I’m realizing how blessed I am to have certain…

Just for Fun

Something a little different here in the little blog this morning. We have a new day before us, lots of opportunities, lots of blessings, and much to be thankful for. This morning, I asked Father to “fill me up” with His love today, so much so that it pours out to others. We gotta have…

It Takes Time

One of the things I miss the most about living in a condo is having a large yard with an area for a garden, and lots of flower beds and pots. I used to love the spring and summer months, when I could just dig in the dirt. Now granted, I was never a master…

When Two Become One

I had planned to write a short little blog this morning about our special day. You see, today is our wedding anniversary 🙂 . I’ve known my better half for over 40 years and can’t think of anyone else I would have rather spent those years with. Yes, we’ve had our challenges, all married couples…

Tending the Garden

We have a small area on the west side of our parish hall. It’s located in the children’s wing of our campus, and we call it the Children’s Garden. Within this garden are plants that were purposefully planted there. Plants and trees that have wonderful smells, feel soft to the touch, or, better yet, bear…

How ‘Bout Brunch

Later this morning, we’re going to treat ourselves to brunch with friends we haven’t seen in quite a while. Actually, that’s not entirely true. We see them almost every week. They are neighbors and we’ll chat briefly while their fur baby is walking them in the mornings 🙂 . However, we haven’t been able to…
