Spiritual Connections
I had very strong unexpected spiritual connections today. First, I met a friend for lunch. She is a caregiver also and a very faithful woman. We prayed together at the restaurant and had beautiful conversation as we usually do. She noted that the relationship with another faithful person is something special – that you understand […]
Sweet Surprise
My mom spotted a small package that had been delivered on the porch this evening. It was a box for her from her sister. Mom thought that it might be chocolate. She opened the box and sure enough, it was a festive bag of chocolate covered cherries – one of her favorites. It was a […]
Holy Spirit Prevented Tragedy
Today I saw an amazing story about a pastor and former police officer who stopped some criminals by praying for them. One day, some young men entered the church during a service. As the pastor was preaching, he noticed they were carrying guns. He secretly alerted his team who locked the doors and called the […]
The Red Tip
When my mom’s friend comes over, we usually talk about religion and politics. Today we talked about the big question as to why some who were raised in the faith and/or practiced regularly stopped somewhere along the way and no longer go to church. We talked about several reasons why this might be – a […]
Friends and Family
Our neighbors invited us over for lunch today. They are such kind, generous people and we enjoy getting together with them. They have family in the area, but not too close by. During the course of our conversation, they said they had wanted to get together with their family, but things didn’t work out. Then […]
Easter Prep Fun

This afternoon my son, his wife and kids came over to get in on the fun. And fun it was. My sister was the chocolatier extraordinare and tempered all the […]
Giving Up
There are things I do and think that are not at all positive or life-giving. I feel like I try so hard to change them to no avail. I pray and pray that God would change them. I’m sure He wants me to be a better person, so why doesn’t He just fix me? The […]
Sweet Girls
I had a chance to go to the mall today. It has been quite a long time since I walked around there, so I meandered to see what had changed – which was a lot. At one end of the mall was a small play place for kids. There were structures to climb on, slide […]
Arts and Crafts Day
My grandchildren are on their school break this week, so today they came over for arts and crafts day. I had seen an activity that uses egg cartons to make cute flowers and thought that was a fun, easy idea. We cut apart the egg carton and cut each cup to resemble a flower. Then […]
Cabin Cuteness
My mom and I made an impromptu trip to the cabin today to check on a couple of things. The air was crisp and the sky was blue – perfect for a drive. The new car was amazing. It was comfortable for my mom, able to hold everything we needed, and handled beautifully on the […]
