Day 21 ~ Living Water
Good Morning and Welcome! Thank you for joining my contemplation of a portion of today’s Mass reading from Jeremiah 17:7-8…being planted by the water.

Day 20 ~ As a Butterfly
It is so beautiful and amazing to me that I am given an opportunity for a new start, each and every day.

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!”
