Where Are You Today, Lord?

I awoke to a mourning dove’s lamenting sounds outside my window this morning. I thought to myself, I feel like you sound.  I have to reluctantly leave the seaside vacation cottage. I am so grateful for having had this time to be free with no time constraints, deadlines, home/pet care responsibilities or any of the … Continue reading "…On The Seventh Day"

My God, halfway through my vacation and I just don’t want it to end. There is no burden or anxiousness, just peace and freedom to enjoy the sights and the sounds of each beautiful day. I am feeling remarkably like my whole existence has slowed down to an enjoyable, carefree pace.  Either my perception has changed … Continue reading "…Your Personal Eden"

Prayer holds everything together – physically, mentally, intellectually and spiritually.  It our most powerful weapon against everything in this world that seeks to separate and destroy. Pray. One thought, one word, one Name, one sentence, one paragraph, one tear, to the One who hears all.

It happens in business as well as personal arrangements. … Continue reading "…In God We Trust"

So our … Continue reading "…God’s Investments"

During an old television family show this evening, there was a scene where a blind girl asks to pray to God.  As she prays out loud, she says “you put a light in our hearts that shines brighter than anything our eyes could see.”  The brightest of lights forces us to close our eyes so … Continue reading "…Baby Get Your Shine On"

Today I visited with a friend who sprained her ankle and was homebound for healing.  She loves the Catholic faith and has been actively immersed in varying aspects of teaching, engaging and inspiring her entire 69 years of life..and still going.  Recently, due to other health issues, she formally retired but as was expected, is … Continue reading "…Your Servant Is Listening"

Today while visiting a jumping facility with my kids, I saw a woman holding the hands of two small children, one on each side of her wading through the waves of energetic, smiling and sweating kids.  I smiled because I could recall the feelings of safety, concern, protection and guidance that a simple hand holding … Continue reading "…I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
