Mani Morning
My daughter in law and I went to a craft fair a couple of months ago and found a vendor who sold the fun stick on nail polish. Several years ago, the girls in the family got together on Zoom and had a nail party. When we saw the polish at the fair, we thought […]
Surprise Flowers
This evening after dinner, I received a text from a friend and neighbor. She said she left something for us on the porch and was thinking about us. I went to the porch and found a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It was certainly a joyful surprise and we felt pretty special. I Found God today […]
Sitting in the Rain
This afternoon my mom and I went out to porch to sit in the sunshine. We weren’t out too long before the clouds came over. Then it started to rain big drops. It wasn’t windy and the temperature was fine, so we sat out for a while as the large drops dotted the sidewalk and […]
Blessed Volunteer
Today my mom had a visit from a Hospice volunteer. The woman was super sweet and engaging as she asked my mom about herself. We had the photo albums on the table, so they looked through part of one together. She was full of encouragement and positivity. As they talked, she told my mom how […]
Imitation of Christ
Today I started listening to a podcast of “The Imitation of Christ” by Thomas a Kempis, on the Hallow app. It started out by acknowledging that the literature is challenging. But to encourage the listener, a quote was read from the book that could be beneficial in many situations, “Do not be detoured, nor quickly […]
Sharing the Joy
My cousin shared a video of her granddaughter today that was just so adorable. The toddler was striking up a conversation with the mannequin at the store. At my cousin’s prompting, she said, “See you later!” Then, “Bye!” in that cute toddler voice. Then she trotted off down the aisle making clappity sounds with her […]
Orion Appeared
My mom slept well last night – until 3:00 am. Then she was up and down for hours with a bit of a stomach upset. I was sleeping in her room, so I was up and down with her. At one point, after she laid back down, I just meandered through the house as I […]
Amazing Advocates
Tonight as I was making dinner, we turned on the TV and the movie, “Back to the Future” had just started. It has always been one of my favorites. We watched for a while and my mom said she knew the name Michael J. Fox, but couldn’t place him. I told her that he has […]
Steady Faith
This morning, I heard a lot of commotion outside the garage door. I went to investigate and saw a fire truck and ambulance parked next door. The EMTs were actually at the home of the “roof mate” of our neighbor’s. Several people were outside, concerned for the residents. The man who lives in the home […]
Effective Anointing
Mom had a stellar day today. When our friend was here, she went for a walk, finished the big puzzle they were working on, played the piano, and helped get lunch ready. She napped a little after that. Then we had a smoothie while she read and played some games on her iPad. She became […]
