Almost a Nun
We watched one of our favorite movies tonight – The Sound of Music. My mom told me that when she was younger, she had a friend who went to a convent to become a nun. The friend wanted my mom to go with her. My mom considered it too and asked her mother if she […]
Dad Daughter Day
My sister came for a visit today. While she was here, she took my dad out shopping. I’m not really sure where they went or what they got, but it was very nice of her. He enjoyed his daughter/father time. I Found God today as my sister and dad enjoyed time together.
Final Sunset
A couple of days ago, a friend told me that her father-in-law passed away. So I went to the funeral today. One of the man’s son’s said that unfortunately, he missed being with his dad when he died. He lived in another state and drove to be with his family that evening after hearing the […]
Serving Humility
I love baking and I feel like I’m pretty good at it. People seem to really enjoy the treats I make. So, when a couple I know were celebrating their wedding anniversary and hosting a dinner, I offered to make dessert. Unfortunately, I had a very hard time and the cupcakes turned out very dense. […]
Gratitude for Talent
My mom not only plays the piano, but was a phenomenal singer as well. She doesn’t sing very much any more as her voice just isn’t what it used to be. Today she read an article that talked about how good singing is for Parkinson’s. So, she sat down at the piano and accompanied herself […]
Musical Soul
As I listened to my mother play the piano today, I realized even more how much music is the way she shares who she is. It is more than playing the notes or exercising her fingers and hands. It is more than staying mentally active. As the music ebbs and flows, my mother expresses who […]
Be Holy
Every Monday night, I attend a Bible class. This course takes the participant on a 4-year journey through the Bible, reading it in the light of salvation history. We started at the beginning in Genesis and have made it to Leviticus. I have tried to read the entire Bible front to back on my own, […]
God is in Smiles
My mom and I got hooked on watching the new series, “God Friended Me”. The story is more complex and intriguing than I had anticipated. Tonight, something particular stood out and has stayed with me. It is that you can see God in every smile. I believe that is a simple, yet profound truth. God […]
Parkinson’s New-comer
This morning, my mom and I went to the Parkinson’s Christmas party. We saw that one of the new-comers was a couple that we sit behind in church, so we went over and chatted with them for a while. We see them almost every week, but sometimes the husband who has Parkinson’s does not attend. […]
Church and Lights
My parents and I went to church tonight to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. After, we decided to look at Christmas lights. A friend told me where there was a house that had the lights synchronized to music. What I remembered from the directions was to go up a certain road […]
