Blessed Mother Therese
Today two driving events, where I drive someone in need and without transportation to a health care appointment or to visit an ill person, were canceled. However, I picked up three more. This is not a ministry that I chose but it is a blessed one. When people feel guilty about being dependent on my driving them I usually thank them for the privilege of being able to drive them and tell them that I am blessed by being with them.
Some of my blessings were cashed in today. For the first time since the shadow of death enveloped me, after my son’s death, the sun did not shine. I had been praying for the sun to shine each day since the sun helps keep my spirits up. However, today it was dark and gloomy but I did not feel the shadow of death very much. My blessings from my driving must have been cashed in.
Some of the things I was able to do at the time I gained from the canceled driving experience today was to clean out the garage, pick and clean some of the last vegetables from the garden and get ready for the football game.
Today was the day of the big football between Wisconsin, my team, and Iowa, my brother’s, who lives in Iowa City, team. It was a close, exciting game, which Wisconsin won by one point, 31–30. I wonder if that victory cost me any blessings. Blessings come from being with those in need, but cashing in blessings is controlled by a ‘higher power’.
