Grateful for Relationships
I woke up this morning to the sound of a text just received. I rolled over, grabbed the phone, and watched the most hilarious, ridiculous, obnoxious happy birthday video that my son sent me, complete with my name being sung. I laughed out loud alone in my room. That was a great start to my […]
Hard Worker
Since my mother’s last episode with diverticulitis that started several weeks ago, she has been doing her best to eat well, rest well, and exercise. Today she felt up to joining her online exercise class. She had not participated in 2 months or longer. It was a good physical workout. It was also very good […]
Early Christmas Music
My mom and I went to the hairdresser today. We figured if we got our hair cut now, we will make it through until the end of the year. The beautician asked if we were feeling ready for Christmas yet as she fiddled with her phone. I said not really, wondering what she was getting […]
Lasting Forever
I read a blog today about a woman named Annie Flack who recently passed away and had made a tremendous impact on a Christian community. She was quoted by something she said every day that can sum up our entire life: Only one life, will soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last. […]
Righteousness, Justice, Peace
Tonight in my Bible class, we continued our study of the prophet Isaiah. After the tumultuous week our country has experienced regarding the election, the words from the prophet rang true. Time and time again, Isaiah exhorts the people not to put their trust in men, nations, governments, but to place their trust in God. […]
What Do You See Nurses
I read a story today that really touched my heart, especially as I do the best I can to care for my parents: When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the […]
Green Pick-up Truck
When my dad and I were walking to the mailbox today, we came upon our neighbor with her 2 year old grandson. He was adorable. He showed us the pick up truck that he was carrying and playing with. It was green – my favorite color and his daddy’s too. His vocabulary was impressive. As […]
According to Plan
My parents had their appointment with their cardiologist today. I called the office to make sure they would be seen with our recent covid scare and was assured it would be fine. After the stressful time last week going to the wrong place, we developed a plan before we left the house. Once we got […]
Stress to Serenity
My dad turned on the election results last night for a while and it became apparent that there wasn’t going to be a clear cut winner for the presidency. He got up this morning and tuned in to find out there was really not much change. It was a gorgeous day here and everyone felt […]
Covid Scare
A few days ago, my son told me he was home sick with a fever and congestion. He seems to always get sick around this time of year with the same kind of thing, but to be safe and responsible he got a Covid-19 test that day. I had just been with him 2 days […]
