It’s not just any Wednesday, it’s Ash Wednesday. So much could be said about this day and about the season of Lent. But this passage from Mass this morning is one of my favorite reminders of what this is all about. “Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting,…
What a Week!
What a week it has been! It’s another Wednesday, but I feel almost like two weeks have been crammed into one. The good news is, the young man (burn victim) for whom many of us have been praying is doing better. Still not out of the woods, but better. On the homefront, Bruce and I…
Grateful for His Faithfulness
It’s Wednesday again! I can hear the winds picking up outside. I am dreading the rain/ice/snow mix that might come our way. Once again, I am grateful for my warm, safe home. Yet my heart remains heavy. The young man for whom I asked you to pray remains in critical condition. Considering the extent of…
My Help Comes from the Lord
It’s another Wednesday evening! I know I have asked for prayers for my friend’s son and their entire family. Thank you for joining us in prayer. In the midst of tragedy, it can be difficult to concentrate on certain words, but thankfully God knows what is in our hearts. I do ask for continued prayer…
Finding My Way
It’s Wednesday again, but I am doing things a bit differently. Usually, on Wednesdays, I post something on my Facebook page about prayer and gratitude. Often, I post late at night. (I am definitely a night owl.) Today I am posting early! But as this post is titled, I am trying to find my way…
Prayers for a New Year
Hello friends, it’s another Wednesday, and a blustery one, at that! I was looking at some old emails and notes, trying to catch up on stuff I let slide during these 12 Days of Christmas. I was reminded of some things I need to do, but also some people who need continued prayer. My brain…
At the End of the Year
It’s NOT Wednesday! It’s Thursday, but God creates every day, so here I am. By the time I pondered posting this last night, I was just too tired. The days are technically getting longer, but my body can’t tell the difference yet! I am working on some writing and stamping projects, very much aware of…
Trust in Him…and His Timing
It’s another Wednesday! I had physical therapy today, and it wore me out! In a good way, I must add. When I walk, it hurts quite a bit which is why I am having surgery in two weeks. Sometimes the reality of this surgery is quite daunting. However, I believe God is with me (He…
Big News!
In July, I posted some news about a very encouraging consultation I had with an orthopedic surgeon in Chicago. We discussed possibilities for hip replacement, but first I needed to, literally, get moving. I have had about 12 physical therapy sessions, plus I am moving a bit better at home. (Still using my wheelchair, but…
Find Rest
It’s another Wednesday! My heart and mind are filled with thoughts of friends and family experiencing hard times. Sickness of a child. Struggles in a new job. Death of a loved one. Each of us, at one time or another, is heavily burdened with something. But God promises He will help us carry the burden.…
