God’s Reminder
Today I read 2 messages from 2 different places that really struck me. “The more you know God and trust in His eternal ways, the more you are able to be patient with the other people around you.” Allen Hunt “Before this day even began, God knew what we would face, what we would need […]
No New Spots
The past few months, I have had to make a visit to the dermatologist due to irritating spots on my arm. I ended up having 3 biopsies at 2 different times and having all 3 of those removed as they were basal cell carcinoma. I have not been worried about it, but it is an […]
Hearing Again
After a long time of struggling, my mom got some new hearing aids last week and has been trying to figure them out. Tonight she and my dad got out the booklet and went through how to clean them. They read about many of the options available. She pushed the buttons as she read to […]
Public Witnesses
For the past few days, I have heard unapologetic witnessing to the grace of God in unexpected places. When I am at my prayer group or in my Bible class, the point is to recognize God’s love and mercy and to share that with one another. But I don’t expect to hear the same at […]
Back to Lifestyle
I spent the past week visiting many people and spending time with my far away family. For some reason, I was very aware of all the different lifestyles.

Friends Lift Spirits
A friend of mine returned from travelling and I talked with her today. The main reason for going was to see an ailing friend. But, she talked to her friend’s husband who said he wasn’t sure she would be up for a visit. So, my friend was surprised when she arrived and her friend greeted […]
Listening to Him
This afternoon I went out to run some errands. As I headed toward my first stop, I realized I would be going right past the church. I “felt” or “heard” God’s call to stop and spend some time with Him. I argued with myself a bit that I didn’t have time, then remembered that I […]
Mom’s Mental Message
It has been super windy recently, particularly at the cabin where my brother has been. Today as we sat down for lunch, my mother commented that we had not heard from my brother for a couple of days and she hoped everything was ok. Less than 5 minutes later, my brother called. He said everything […]
Just Help
As I skimmed through my email this morning, I came across a short video and a written meditation, both focusing on the theme for today’s Gospel about the rich man who did not care about the poor man at his doorstep. They also both held the same message- help those around you. There are so […]
