Fine Father’s Day
I knew today would be tough without my dad here. So I tried to keep my mind on good things. I thought of many wonderful men that I have been blessed to have in my life and sent them a note. They have inspired me, kept me on the right track, and been someone for […]
Dove Wisdom
My mom and I made a trip to the cabin today. It was bittersweet. The last time we were there was a year and a half ago with my dad. Unfortunately, at that time, he had no recollection of the house he had lovingly built with family and friends 40 years ago and quickly became […]
Saving Baby Bunny
Early this morning I heard a lot of commotion in the basement. I looked in the window well and saw a tiny baby bunny who was trying to get out. It would try to jump straight up, but only made it a few inches. It tried jumping onto the window screen and climbing up, but […]
Roses
Today at my grief support group, I told a story of how my dad found an offshoot from the rosebush that had sprouted near the sidewalk. That was not a good place for it to be, so he pulled it up and we replanted it in a bare spot. It was no more than a […]
Andy Griffith Wisdom
The other day, I was talking with my son about the difficulty of raising children. There are so many “things” pulling them in different directions, all having allure and temptation. A friend shared this description of an Andy Griffith episode and it spoke to my heart: When a hobo told Andy he should just let […]
God’s Care
I had a great time at dinner with friends tonight. I told them the story of lunch with my mom and friends yesterday and wondered how long our group would be able to continue our monthly get togethers. This got us talking about our future and what we were planning on doing. I said I […]
Friends Still Lunching
Today my mom and I met some of her long time friends for lunch. One of the ladies picked up another who just turned 91 years old. She was struggling a bit to recognize her friends and remember where she met them. She is very sweet and has a very quiet voice. One of the […]
Another Strange Mass
There weren’t very many people in the pews when we arrived at Mass this morning. That was strange to begin with. When it was time to start Mass, the music director announced that, unfortunately, there was no priest present to celebrate Mass. A deacon was there, so we went ahead and started with the Liturgy […]
Chicken Hatching
My sister and her husband sold their farm last year to a wonderful family who they keep in touch with. They have two little girls who love taking care of the chickens. My sister was here today and told us that the family had purchased an incubator. They had taken a couple of eggs from […]
Moving Forward
Today I saw a quote by Toby Mac that touched my heart: You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. I Found God today in a reminder to keep moving forward.
