Surprise Flowers
Today as my mom and I were out for a walk near the house, a flower delivery truck drove by. I wondered if he had delivered flowers to the house. When we got back home, we saw a big bouquet of flowers on the counter. We all thought for a minute, wondering if it was […]
Experiencing Shen Yun
In the past few months, there has been lots of advertising for the show, Shen Yun. Every time my mom saw it, she said she wanted to go. Eventually my dad bought the tickets. Today was the day of the show. The purpose of the dance company is to try to keep the ancient Chinese traditions […]
God’s Timing and Encouragement
Today a friend stop by unexpectedly to return some dishes and stayed for a few minutes. While she was here, she offered some encouraging words and shared a bit about her faith. She did not know what perfect timing she had and how much I appreciated hearing what she had to say. I love it […]
Positive with Challenges

St. Patrick’s Breastplate

But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment…” We were to think […]
Young Mother
Today a friend and I visited a young woman who had a baby. The little guy is about 2 weeks old and so sweet. The young woman unfortunately doesn’t have the support of the father and is doing her best on her own. She lovingly held and stroked her newborn as she told us how […]
The Blizzard
For the past few days, the weather people have been forecasting a blizzard to hit our area today. They were right. By mid morning the snow was flying in the tremendous hurricane force wind. Although the lights flickered several times we remained inside, safe and warm. I conversed with my siblings and kids and with […]
Cooking with Family
My daughter in law has been doing some live videos of her cooking. I was able to get on the computer today and my parents and I watched. It was like sitting in her kitchen with the family as my son and the kids popped in and out too. They said hello to us as […]
