Today the intentions for the St Joseph Novena I am participating in are for those nearing their death from this world to have a happy death. Joseph is the patron saint of many things, among which is, a happy death. It is presumed he had among the happiest of deaths, in the arms and loveContinue reading “Day 19 ~ O, to have a Happy Death”

Day 18 ~ Mercy
Greetings. Today is day 5 of the St Joseph novena I have been praying and the intention today is for everyone who is unemployed or underemployed. In this we include all those working non-stop to make ends meet, and those who struggle to provide food and shelter for themselves and their families. This one hitsContinue reading “Day 18 ~ Mercy”
Day 17 Perhaps
Sundays are the best! I love my time in the true presence of the Lord, raising my voice in song, and the family time which follows and include precious hugs, smiles, and memories. Today we celebrate my mom…perhaps the most influential human in my spirituality outside of Christ. Her influence has come in both subtleContinue reading “Day 17 Perhaps”
Day 16 Pray for your Enemies
Wow, today’s gospel is a tough one. Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies. In society today it seems more and more challenging to know who is a friend and who an enemy…so many seem to be cancelling or flat out rejecting those who don’t believe the same as they do. On some level,Continue reading “Day 16 Pray for your Enemies”
Day 15 Community
Good Morning World! As I woke this morning to a cold snowy day in Oklahoma, I am so very grateful for the safety and warmth of my home. I thought about the Ukrainian people outside in even colder conditions without the basics of warmth, supplies, electricity, or even a roof over their heads as theyContinue reading “Day 15 Community”
Day 14- St Joseph

He is a bridge between myself and Jesus. Valiant, and faithful he is an aid to the family andContinue reading “Day 14- St Joseph”
Day 13 -Despair and Hope
Life a journey, and sometimes a trip. It takes us down paths on which hearts can be ripped. It strengthens and weakens and brings ups and downs, and on many occasions it simply astounds. Struggles and answers, hope and despair, through all we can know, that Christ is right there. He stands beside us throughContinue reading “Day 13 -Despair and Hope”
Day 9 – Change can be good!
Every day, challenging or not, I see God’s graces at work. Little glimpses of heaven show themselves in both common and unexpected ways. A common way, is the smile of a child, kindness of a stranger, completion of a task, or simply getting up in the morning and facing the day. Today I was blessed,Continue reading “Day 9 – Change can be good!”
Day 8 – Continued New Beginnings
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since initiating this website. I feel God working in and around me. So many people are praying for and with me, and I feel the results. It never ceases to amaze me how God shows up at just the right time through the people and events inContinue reading “Day 8 – Continued New Beginnings”
Day 7 – Reflect, Repent, Restore, Repeat
Today I am posting late. I am so grateful for yet another day that the Lord has made and invited me to share in through the life he creates for me. The homily at Ash Wednesday Mass last night was such a great reminder to treat others and myself with compassion and patience. The ashesContinue reading “Day 7 – Reflect, Repent, Restore, Repeat”
