Treated With Respect
My mom and I had a “big day out” today. First I took her to a doctor’s appointment only to find out that there was a scheduling error, so she could not be seen. But the girls there were nice and told us what needed to be done to get it corrected. We were close to […]
Mother’s Day Love
Happy Mother’s Day! One of my son’s called me first thing this morning and we talked for a long time. When he is in a chatty mood, we can go on and on! At church, all the women received a special blessing – whether they were mothers or not – and received a carnation. I […]
First Holy Communion
Today my grandson received his first Holy Communion. It was hard for me not to be there, but it was great to see the pictures. He looked so big and handsome, but still has his signature smile. There were serious pictures of him standing straight and tall, and of him with the priest who is […]
Cooked Oven
A few weeks ago, I pushed a button to select a burner on the stove and it made a loud POP. I was terrified. We tested it after it cooled down and it seemed to be OK, so I continued to use it. The other day I turned on one of the other burners and […]
Ask the Lord to Cast Out Your Demons
Ah, a new day begins. When I got out of bed this morning, I was ready to start fresh. One of the daily words of wisdom I get in my email simply stated, “Ask the Lord to cast out your demons.” I chuckled a bit as it was so fitting to what was going on. […]
Blessings Among Trials
Yesterday, I turned a burner on the flat stove top and it made a big POP, which terrified me. Then it stopped working. A few minutes later as I was trying to finish dinner, a big bee buzzed by me. My mom is allergic to bees, so I encouraged her to stay in her room […]
Encouragement From a Stranger
Today a friend of my parents came over and we went out to lunch. They told her the story of an experience they had at the store. My dad took my mom and her new walker to the place where he purchased it to make sure he had set it up correctly and if there […]
A Blessed Outing
Today my mom and I had our first outing with her new walker. We went to the local Christian store to pick up a few gifts for upcoming occasions. She wheeled all around the store and when she got tired, she just sat down. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time like […]
Multicultural Worship
Today at church, the children’s group led the music along with some of the Spanish ministry in celebration of upcoming Cinco de Mayo. It reminded me of a summer mission trip that I attended with the high school youth group a couple of years ago. One of the evenings, the whole camp was invited to […]
Derby Birthday
Last week my mom was looking through a magazine and found a delectable recipe for a chocolate mint julep pie to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. She then realized that the race was on the same day as her birthday. I did not realize that she enjoyed watching it so much. So, we decided to plan a […]
