Baby
Heaven’s Peace
This evening I had great fun going to dinner with some friends. As always, there was a lot of talking and laughter. On my drive home, I thanked God for these friends and the ability to see them on a regular basis. When I got home, I listened to a new podcast based on the […]
Babies Know
On Monday mornings, I visit with an elderly woman who has dementia and bring her Holy Communion. Then we chat for a while if she is feeling up to it. I brought her the church bulletin today and we looked through it a little bit. There was an advertisement for a person to work in […]
Generous Love
This evening I watched a program featuring a woman who talked about having an abortion when she was a young teenager. She was only 15 years old when she found herself pregnant. Her mother didn’t want her to have the baby and didn’t want the baby to be born under those circumstances. So the young […]
Laughing With Children
Today I went over to a friend’s house while she was taking care of her 2 grandchildren. They are ages 2 1/2 and 1 years old. I had met them before, but the last time the younger one was crawling. Now he was walking and very proud of it. His face just beamed as he […]

It’s been known that mother and baby share cells through the placenta. However, recently scientists found that a woman who carried a male baby had the male […]
The Baby Walker
Recently I have been helping a friend as she downsizes her house. I collected a load of snow boots, coats, warm clothes, and blankets from her house and mine to take to a particular organization that gives items to people in need. My friend also had a baby walker that she wasn’t using any more […]
Love of Children
A friend of mine is going through a particularly difficult time right now. I went to her house today to visit and help her get some things done. Her 2 grandchildren were over as she was caring for them while her daughter worked. The kids are almost 1 and almost 3. It had been a […]
Light of the World
This morning I heard the song, “Light of the World” by Lauren Daigle. It has been in my head all day. Tonight I found a video of the song that included the story of Christmas. It was beautiful. I Found God in a beautiful song and video of the Christmas story.
Sharing Her Childhood
My daughter in law has been getting very bored as she continues to recover from her ankle surgery. She is still non-weight bearing and has her foot elevated the majority of the day. Yesterday we looked through a list of things to do and one of the suggestions was to make a photo album. My […]
Mutual Care
At church this morning, there was a new mom and dad sitting in front of me with their teeny tiny new baby. I remembered meeting them a couple months ago and she had that very pregnant look about her. So I prayed for them. Today, she had that new mommy look about her as she […]
