To build and restore

By From the Heart | Sarah Heidelberger | Hearth and Homestead

Before settling in to write this post, I took a glance back at my post from last January. (Click to read) Pondering and writing words has always been insightful for me and at times helpful in better processing my emotions. I’ll admit that reading back on my word for 2020 – “Build” – left a […]

My 2021 word

By From the Heart | Sheila Hellermann | Just Don't Ask Me to Sing

A little over a year I chose “behold” as my word of the year. For 2021 I am choosing “stillness.” Similar? Yes, in some ways, but very different in others. I pray in the morning. On New Year’s Day morning, I woke up early and before leaving to run, I prayed and resolved to spend […]

What does it mean to open my treasures for God?

By From the Heart | Jenna Miller | Consider the Lilies

On my prayer table recently has been the verse: “They opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:11) What does it mean to open my treasures for God?  What, in all that is within me, could possibly be like treasures?  What does it mean to offer them to the […]

Do you care what I think of you?

By From the Heart | Community Contributors

After having our first two beautiful children, I found myself away from the Sacrament of Reconciliation for a very long time. At least over 10 years. It was always an afterthought. I was busy. Busy raising little children, busy being a wife and caring for a home, busy trying to work a couple of days […]

What do we say?

By From the Heart | Sheila Hellermann | Just Don't Ask Me to Sing

Often we reflect on how Jesus’ birth changed everything and how Jesus’ crucifixion changed everything. But, maybe this year, we need to give a little more time to how neither of those things were possible without Mary’s yes. As we just celebrated the Immaculate Conception, think about it. Without Mary’s willingness to do God’s will, […]

A Call to Motherhood…(Well, more like a whisper)

By From the Heart | Community Contributors

After high school, I thought college was the next logical next step. I came from a family where my father was an accountant, my mother was a homemaker. Not knowing what I wanted to do after high school, I remember a conversation between my mom, dad and I in our kitchen. My dad asked, “Well, […]

The Year to Appreciate What You Have

By From the Heart | Nikki and Tricia Walz | A Tale of Two Sisters

Scrolling through Facebook, you never know what you will find. Every so often, though, you come across a post that really resonates with you, and this particular post really struck me: “2020 is not the year to get everything you want. This is the year to appreciate everything you have.” Wow. How true is this!??! […]

Being thankful for the small things

By From the Heart | Sheila Hellermann | Just Don't Ask Me to Sing

There are still things to be thankful for. It is hard some days with Covid-19, a difficult election season and deep divides separating people. So for a few days, I decided to think intentionally about it. As Thanksgiving approaches (which is normally my favorite holiday, but admittedly I am struggling this year), I share my […]

God doesn’t pass us messages, He gives us each other.

By From the Heart | Sarah Heidelberger | Hearth and Homestead

“God doesn’t pass us messages, He gives us each other.” –Bob Goff In a time where we are limited in our connections and interactions, the moments we see real people can become priceless. At least that’s what I’ve been finding in nearly seven months of less than our usual socialization. Facial features, voice tone and […]

Holding Space

By From the Heart | Sheila Hellermann | Just Don't Ask Me to Sing

Since its release, I had seen bits and pieces of the new Encyclical Letter from Pope Francis, “Fratelli Tutti.” I was more and more intrigued, and I could not resist sitting down and diving deeper. It is powerful. It is timely. It is important. Ironically it was the same week I watched “Social Dilemma” on […]
