Little By Little
A couple that I know are going through a very rough time. He let me know last week that he had COVID and experiencing shortness of breath. Two days later he told me his wife was hospitalized with an intestinal infection. She wanted to avoid surgery, so was being treated with heavy duty antibiotics through […]
Snow Glitter
This morning it was 4 degrees outside when I got up and opened the blinds. It had snowed just a little overnight. When I looked just right in the sunlight, I could see shimmering speckles in the air. It was soothing and lovely, so I just watched for a while. When my mom got up […]
Guardian Angels
This morning I was thinking about my dad’s care, which I often do. I still hope for that perfect answer. I was wishing there could be someone whose only task is to look out for him 24/7. Of course, I know God is. So is his guardian angel. I have a pill reminder app on […]
Resist
Sometimes I forget that there is a supernatural battle going on for our souls. I can let negative thoughts or emotions take over. I enjoyed the scripture I read tonight as a reminder: 1 Peter 5:8-9a “Stay sober and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. […]
Good Outcome
This morning I received a text from a friend that he had COVID, even though he was fully vaccinated and received the booster. He started having symptoms a week ago which subsided.

The Baptismal Gown
Tonight out of the blue, my mom asked if I knew where the Baptismal gown was. The beautiful garment was hand made by my dad’s Aunt Jane. My 4 siblings and I were all Baptized wearing the gown, along with 9 of my cousins and my 2 sons. There could have been more. The last […]
Overwhelmed
I can all too often find myself feeling overwhelmed. Such was the case earlier today. I thought I was starting the year off on a good path, when a phone call and conversation set me off. When I realized where my emotions were heading, first thing I did was walk away and take a time […]
Olympic Stories
My mom has been wanting to visit the new US Olympic Paralympic Museum. I had read about it and knew it was outfitted with top of the line interactive technology. We thought it would be great to bring the family. The grandkids were off school and my sons were off work, so we planned the […]
New Year’s Prayer
A friend shared a prayer for the new year that I thought was fitting and beautiful: Thank you God for giving me. The brand new year ahead. Help me live the way I should. As each new day I tread. Give me gentle wisdom. That I might help a friend. Give me strength and courage. […]
Light Adventure
My mom really enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights the other night and told her friend all about them when she came for a visit. She had never seen the couple special houses that we go to every year. We were surprised at that, so my mom invited her to come out with us and take […]
