From Pain to Blessing
This morning at church, the deacon told a touching story of a young woman. When she was a young teen, she was raped and became pregnant. Her parents made her get an abortion. When she was in college, she found herself pregnant again from her boyfriend. This time, she chose to get an abortion. As […]
Playing Police
It has been super windy outside, but it calmed down enough this evening to take a decent walk. As I passed a park, I saw a police car parked in the adjacent empty parking lot. I saw the police officer out of the car and then spotted a dog running towards him. I saw K9 […]
Telling Letters
My mother has put together several scrapbooks with my sister’s help. She sat down and looked through one of them today. She wrote many letters to her parents many years ago. Her parents kept them and they now have a safe place in a pocket in the book. My mom took out the letters and […]
Tiny Prayer Plants
For the past couple of years, I have planted flowers in the pots outside the front door. I need to wait until after the possibility of frost, so I have been putting them out Memorial weekend. Last year I planted some seeds directly into the pots. They grew beautifully, but it took such a long […]
Prayers for Missionaries
Today I thought about some of our friends who left for a mission trip a couple of days ago. The wife goes on a mission trip every year and her husband joins when he can. Last year, she took her granddaughter to Africa. This year, the husband and wife team went to Greece to help […]
Making Phone Calls
My mom gave her new phone a good workout today. We practiced checking messages a couple of times. Then my brother called. Both my mom and dad were fascinated with the captions as they could read the words that my brother was saying. A little later, my mom called a neighbor and left a message. […]
ABC Mercy
Today at church the priest talked about Divine Mercy Sunday. He said to help remember what to do, use the ABC’s. A – ask God for His Mercy. He wants to shower His love and mercy on us, but we do need to ask. B – be merciful to others. If we want to receive […]
Caption Phone
My mom has a very hard time hearing conversations on the telephone. A while back, the audiologist said that she could get a phone that has captions on it so she could read the words that are being said by the caller. We looked into it, and had the phone set up yesterday. We waited […]
Gushed Over
Today I took my mom to get new eyeglasses. We dropped off my dad at his favorite hair cutting place for men with a Starbucks next door. When my mom and I had finished ordering her glasses (which took longer than anticipated), I tried calling my dad to let him know that we were on […]
Little Extra Prayer
It was a quiet morning today. I took advantage of the opportunity and spent a little extra time with God in prayer. I prayed for all those I could think of, and for those who feel they have no one to pray for them. I became aware of all that I have to be grateful […]
