And It’s A . . .
I was so excited for the BIG REVEAL today! My parents and I connected via video chat to my grandson’s tablet. The connection was not very good and kept freezing, but it was fun to see everyone there. Then came the big moment. My daughter-in-law’s sister was the only one who knew the gender of […]
A Growing Life
My daughter in law went to the doctor today and had an ultrasound to see if they could determine the gender of the new little person growing in her womb. She sent me some pictures – which did not include the important parts. It is amazing to see the details of the baby – leg, […]
Yahtzee
Two weeks ago today, my mom returned home from having a pacemaker put in. The night before we took her to the doctor for the heart problem, we were playing Yahtzee. My mom was having a hard time during the game keeping track of how many rolls she had and how to keep her score. […]
Contemplating Eternal Life
This morning my mom read our daily meditation for Lent. It referred to the scripture John 5:17-30 in which Jesus talks about the dead being resurrected. He says specifically, “… the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection […]
Still Faithful
A few years ago, a wonderful teenager asked me to be her Confirmation sponsor. Of course I said I would and it was a beautiful day. I have tried to stay in touch with her as she graduated from high school and even college. I sent cards and trinkets for special occasions. Like so many […]
Faith Is The Reason
I Found God today in beautiful thoughts from a blog I came across. It is worth sharing, reading, and pondering in our hearts.
It’s Not Fair
The Gospel reading at church today included probably the most famous verse, John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” The priest told a very touching story: A very faithful man died and went to […]
Pi Day
Pi Day! Today as we were having breakfast, I remembered that “Super Pi Moment” was coming up – that the numbers in the date and time would match up the first 10 digits in the infinite number pi. I looked it up to see what time that would be, and it was occurring at that exact […]
New Job
Today my sister came for a visit. She has been struggling recently trying to find a job. At her previous job, she was treated very poorly. It drained her and dragged her down something terrible. When she got to the house, she told us all about an interview that she had this morning. She thought […]
Closed Caption
Both my mom and dad are hard of hearing to a certain extent. That can make it pretty challenging to watch TV all together. Typically the volume would be too loud for one and not loud enough for the other. Then the fluctuations in the sound between music, voices, background noise, and commercials added another […]
