Friend Takes Action

Each month a group of people I used to work with get together. I saw them for dinner tonight. One of the ladies told us the story of her recent hospital stay. Last month she fell at her house and broke her leg. A few days later, she was having trouble breathing. She has serious […]

Football Baptisms

I saw a video today about several players on the Eagles football team who were baptized in the team pool a few months ago. A bit unconventional perhaps. I thought was a beautiful story.

Knew My Father-In-Law

When my mom attends her Parkinson’s exercise class, I usually visit with the other caregivers. As we were talking today, one of the men mentioned that he was a retired police officer in the city. My ex-husband’s father was also a city police officer. I asked the man when he was on the force and […]

Faith on Display

Today I watched the amazing game that was the Super Bowl. I didn’t have a vested interest in either team, but I do always root for the underdog. Incredibly, they won. I thought they played the game with unity, courage, strength, and fortitude. Characteristics that make up a winning team. At the end, the 3 […]

Fly Fishing

I got a message this morning from a friend telling me that her son was going to be on TV. I met the young man when he was in high school. Like all teenagers, he had his share of struggles. But he was determined not to let that rule his life. He made some tough […]

Tonight I went to dinner with a friend. When I got home, I had barely walked in the door when my mom said she found something that she just had to show me. She turned off the TV, puckered up her lips, and whistled. She hasn’t been able to whistle for years. She was overjoyed. […]

Prayers From Friends

This morning I got an unexpected message from someone who said they were praying for me and my family. That helped me to start my day with peace. Then this afternoon, I received a card in the mail from a far away friend who said she was praying for me and my family. That also […]

Super Occurence

Yesterday, my dad and I headed up to the cabin hoping to get a good view of the moon. It was cloudy when we arrived and the forecast called for more high clouds. So, I was praying that the sky would clear for just a little while. When I got up in the morning, the […]

Enjoying Learning

When I heard about the lunar eclipse, I wanted to try to get some pictures with my new camera. I read through more of the instruction manual and tried out some new settings on the sunset. When the moon was in view, my dad and I took some more shots. Being the photographer, my dad […]

Energizing Love

When my mom is at her exercise class, I have an opportunity to visit with the other caregivers who have brought their loved ones to the class. We share stories, concerns, recipes, and ways to take care of ourselves. Today, one of the older ladies had the front of her gray hair dyed purple. She […]
