Spring Storms

I had friends traveling all over yesterday. They were in Connecticut, South Carolina, Ohio, and everywhere in between. During our text conversation last night, they were all trying to make it home. The storms in the Midwest and Ohio Valley were awful. Flights were delayed at every turn. It was well after midnight before everyone…

Seeing Differently

Over the weekend my husband and I did some spring cleaning, so to speak. We moved back into our home after having some remodeling done. It took longer than we expected, which admittedly was frustrating, but we are back home now and getting settled. We spent the weekend putting things away, wiping down pictures, putting…

Home Sweet Home

Well, exactly three months later, we are finally back home in our place. As with all construction or remodeling, things took longer than planned, but I’m telling myself not to focus on the length of time but instead to enjoy being back in our home. It was late last night when we moved the last…

Give the Week

On Sundays before heading to church, I like to take a little time to give thanks for the week ahead and a new beginning. Of course each day is a new day and filled with opportunities, but Sundays are kind of the reset I guess you could say. This morning I found a prayer that…

Short Little Life Unites a World

Yesterday, a friend shared with me a story about a young family she knows. I’m going to try to share this story being respectful of this young family and yet sharing the incredible love of Christ that worked through the middle of it all. As I listened to the story of this family’s little girl,…

A Weekend of Support

Today is a busy day and one that provides so many opportunities to help others. Our church is holding one of its big community sales. Our thrift store, just recently restored from hurricane Milton, has been feverishly collecting “gently used” items from parishioners and other donors over the past weeks. Baby cribs to jewelry, housewares…

Monday Wishes

Here we go, the start of a new week. I gave thanks this morning as I talked with Father. Of course, I give thanks every day, but I usually start my Mondays by giving thanks for a new week. It’s a chance to grow closer to Him through whatever may come. Mondays get a bad…

He Knows

I don’t know about you, but this morning when I realized it was Friday, I was pretty grateful. It’s been a busy week, and we have a busy weekend at church. Our Bishop is visiting this weekend and we have a large group of parishioners being confirmed. It’s a weekend to celebrate and enjoy Father…
