Faith Not Fear
I listened to the mediation from Jeff Cavins on the Hallow app this morning. He shared a great acrostic for the word FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. He was explaining the Gospel of the day. The Bible story was that of a wealthy man sharing some of his wealth with those who worked for him, […]
Got Some Help
A friend has been on my mind, so I gave her a call this afternoon. She has been struggle with some pain issues, but doesn’t trust traditional doctors. I have been worried about her living alone and trying to function when it is so hard for her to get around. I was so glad to […]
Gotta Get Glasses
Over thirty years ago, I had surgery done on my eyes to correct my vision. This was even before the laser surgery. I was so happy with the results and have been seeing clearly for years. It was such a blessing. As was expected, I have been wearing reading glasses for a few years now […]
The Engagement
My son met an amazing young woman 2 1/2 years ago. From the beginning she has been a blessing in our lives. Once she became a licensed massage therapist, she came over every week to give my mom a soothing hand massage. Even when my mom wasn’t up to it, she would just come over […]
The Rocking Chair
This morning as I sat with my mom, I was rocking in the rocking chair. It suddenly occurred to me that it was the same chair that my mom rocked me and my siblings in when we were babies and beyond. My mom was in this chair at the beginning of our lives and I […]
D-Day Prayer
A friend of mine shared the prayer that President Roosevelt read on D-Day, June 6, 1944. I thought it was a powerful reminder of a time in this country when we welcomed prayer. Text of Radio Address – Prayer on D-Day, June 6, 1944: “My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about […]
Good Start
My grandson is going on his first solo adventure. I’ve been praying for his protection. For the first part of the trip, he left this morning to drive to the East Coast. I was glad to hear that he made it to his first stop safe and sound. He’s off to a good start. I […]
Train Your Mind
I saw a quote from TobyMac today that moved my heart, “Train your mind to hear what God whispers and not what the enemy may be shouting.” I also heard a beautiful reflection the other day saying that my past sins are like grains of sand compared to the mountain that is God. These two […]
Begin Again
The other day I heard a reflection about our ability to begin again. Every night we have the opportunity to review our day and hand it all to God in prayer, asking forgiveness for our wrongs. At the wakening of each new day, we are able to start fresh and live the day for what […]
Full Heart
We’ve been lucky to have a caregiver come over twice a week for a couple hours. Now and as time goes on, my mom requires a tremendous amount of attention and energy. I’m often exhausted. But we are committed to keeping her at home. I have tried to get more help in, but unfortunately have […]
