Blessing of Family

Tonight I went to a Bible class. We just started reading the book of Exodus. One statement that really stood out to me was that God blesses people with family. In Chapter 1 of Exodus, it describes how the Pharaoh wanted to dwindle the numbers of the Israelites. He commanded the midwives to kill all […]

Helping Nana

Today my son, his wife and kids, and his wife’s sisters and families made their way to my daughter in laws’ mothers’ house. They all went to help “Nana”. They shared pictures of everyone raking and cleaning up the yard. I just thought it was so nice how they all pitched in to help her […]

Palm Tree

Sadly, a friend of my sister passed away a few days ago. She said he was an amazing man who touched many lives and will be very missed. She went to the memorial service last night and told me about it today. Near the end of his life, the man told his sister that he […]

Four Years

Today a picture popped up that I shared 4 years ago. It was of me, my parents, my friend who drove here with me, and my dog. It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since I moved here. I still miss my dog who lived only a few months after we arrived. […]

Timely Prayer

My mom is still struggling with sciatica pain, so instead of going to All Saints Day Mass, we decided to watch it on EWTN. As soon as we turned on the TV, a prayer came on for those with Parkinson’s Disease. We said the prayer and were teary eyed at the end. I Found God […]

Piano Cassette

As my mom was resting yesterday, my dad found some small portable cassette players and got them working. He found some tapes to play and one of them was a recording of my mom playing the piano about 30 years ago. That is when she says she was at her best. My dad got the […]

Answers From Docs

My poor mom has still been in a lot of pain. I called and left messages with 2 of her doctors and the physical therapist this morning. I had some questions and was looking for more help to try to alleviate some of her suffering. One at a time, they each called back and each […]

Comfortable Seat

The day we returned from the cabin, my mom’s back, hip, and leg started hurting. She has been in a great deal of pain, so we went to see her doctor today. He feels it is a pinched nerve and took some x-rays to check further. Tonight after dinner, she was able to make her […]

Children’s Mass

At church this morning, the children’s choir performed a song before Mass started. I loved listening to and watching them. They were so exuberant. When they finished, the younger children went to sit with their families. The older children stayed in the choir area. To my surprise, they participated in the entire Mass. Not only […]

Record Birds

We spent another day at the cabin today and put the birdfeeders out just as the sun was rising. There were birds already visiting the deck wondering where the food was. We once again enjoyed the activity and antics of the birds as they flew back and forth from trees to feeders. And we were […]
