Successful Surgery

A friend’s son-in-law was having some trouble and they found that he had major heart problems. No one suspected this as he is in otherwise good physical health. He had a quadruple bypass today. We prayed for him and waited for the word. Later in the morning, my friend sent a message saying that the […]

Good Neighbors

In my aqua aerobics class, we have a topic for discussion on Wednesdays. Today’s topic was good neighbors. I shared my story of the wonderful neighborhood we lived in when my oldest son was a child. There were 4 houses that were all very good friends. The kids played together and the adults socialized together. […]

Rescued and Rescuer

I find the politics in our society pretty disturbing, so I deliberately did not watch the State of the Union address. However, I did come upon the near end of it by accident. The President was introducing a gentleman who was rescued from the Dachau concentration camp. Sitting next to him was an American soldier […]

History Repeats Itself

In my bible study class tonight, we went through the book of Judges. This is a rather disturbing book describing the continuous cycle of disobedience, consequences, and faith of the nation of Israel. During that period of time, the Israelites would do whatever they wanted, deciding not to obey God and not to teach their […]

Generous in Missions

I visited some friends today who told me about their plans for the next few months and into the summer. They plan on helping with 2 missions. They also plan on hosting foreign exchange teachers. And they talked about how they take each of their grandchildren and those close to them on their own personal […]

Remembering When

When things are not going as well as I would like them to be, it is easy to become discouraged. I can easily forget all the blessings, kindness, and gentleness the Lord has shown me. Today I read a meditation that talked about remembering. I took a few minutes after reading to purposefully think about […]

Best News Possible

Today we made another trip to the doctor and received the best news possible for and issue that arose. There is still a concern and decisions to be made, but we are grateful for the good news. I feel our prayers at work. I Found God today in the best news possible.

She Is Beautiful

Yesterday, before the delightful man went his way, he told my mother how beautiful she is. Today, she had a procedure at the hospital. The woman who checked her in complimented her on her lovely silvery, white curly hair. Then she turned to me and said that she looked so good for 86 years old. […]

Smiles To Go

My dad had a test at the hospital today, so my mom and I spent some time in the waiting area. While we were there, an older gentleman started chatting. He told us how he was there to have the battery replaced in his pacemaker. About 6 years ago, his heart was in such a […]

Usual Day

It has been a couple of weeks since my mom’s friend came over for her usual weekly visit. Things have been busy at her house and at ours. So it was good that she came over today. We all got caught up on the latest family and church news. She and my mom played their […]
