Blessed Time
Today I was running errands and perusing outdoor games. I came across a water balloon slingshot and was reminded of my Youth Ministry days. I particularly thought of the Workcamp trips that we would take each year. We spent one week serving the community and fixing up houses for those who were unable to do […]
Picking Up Groceries
I found myself at the end of the week without having made a trip to the grocery store. For several different reasons, each time I planned on going, it didn’t work out. So, early this morning I made my shopping list and ordered it online. This afternoon, my mom and I went to go pick […]
Racing Birthday
Today was my grandson’s 16th birthday. It seemed appropriate that he would choose to do go-cart racing to celebrate. One of his friends was here for a visit with his family. I felt honored that I was invited to go with them and blessed that I was able to. My daughter-in-law, granddaughter, the friend’s mom […]
Little Free Library Plus
I was happy to take a walk tonight in the cool air. I went down a street that I normally avoid because there are barking dogs there. I came to the house with the dogs, which was surprisingly quiet. On the corner of the front yard was a Little Free Library. It was painted red […]
Young Love
My mom and I have been going through photos and memorabilia. Today I came across some old greeting cards and postcards they had sent to their families. I also found some letters that my dad wrote to my mom while he was doing some work in England. They had been married for 3 years. The […]
Encouraging Call
I thought of a friend today who I haven’t spoken to for a long time, so I sent her a quick text. She wasn’t busy at the time and neither was I, so we talked on the phone for a while. She said she was just thinking about me as well. Her son just happens […]
Singing in Church
My mom had a lot of energy this morning, so we both made it to Mass. Early during the service, my mom said that she could hear and understand the words that were being said. That was wonderful, because she really struggles with it. A little later I heard her singing, which she doesn’t do […]
Lavender Festival
I was so happy to spend a few hours this morning with my sister and her husband. We went to the lavender festival at the local botanical garden. We were glad we got there early enough to beat too much of a crowd and too much heat. The first thing we did was visit the […]
Phoning Friend
Today I was looking through my social media comments and saw a friend’s name. At that same time, my phone rang and her name popped up. She was calling me. That was quite a surprise. I told her about the funny coincidence and we laughed. It had been a while since we talked and got […]
Heavenly View
I was talking with a friend tonight and remembered the morning I saw my dad in hospice at the hospital. I opened the blinds on the window and there was the mountain front and center. The moon was setting and I could see it was going to look as though it was touching the mountain. […]
