Blessings in Tragedy
Last night I met with a “small church community” for the second time. One of the couples gave us an update on their daughter who was in a terrible car accident. They said that there were blessings surrounding the whole event. The person who collided with her was drunk at 8:30 in the morning. The […]
Traveling Weather
After all the graduation celebrations, packing up belongings, and saying goodbye to friends and family, my son and I hit the road for the long drive home. We had originally thought we would take our time and do some sight-seeing along the way. But my son was excited to get to his destination, so we […]
Sun Shine on My Face
The sky was overcast with thick clouds early this morning I was driving to an appointment. I was listening to the Christian radio which I always find uplifting. The song, Beautiful Day by Jamie Grace was being introduced. She said that when she was having a bad day, she would tell her father that this was […]
Handy Men
My sister is getting ready to put her condominium up for sale. She has been working hard purging and packing. Today I was happy to be able to spend some time with her and give her a hand. Her son’s SUV is still at her place and she planned on using it to begin loading up her […]
Singing in the Car
I met some friends tonight for dinner and had a wonderful time as usual. It was almost a half an hour drive back home, so I cranked up the “Jesus Jams” on the Christian radio station. I seemed to connect with each song, one after the other. The music got louder as each new selection […]
Grateful for Honesty
The other day when we were heading up to the cabin, I was searching for my snow boots and gloves, but couldn’t find them anywhere. I remembered putting them in and taking them out of cars as I made several trips to the airport in cold and snowy weather, but eventually I lost track of […]
Near Accident
After a cancelled flight the other day, my son finally made it in for a visit. His girlfriend and I went to the airport in the “big city” to pick him up. It was so good to see him walk through the arrival area. My nephew lives in the city, so we decided to meet up […]
Conquering Concerns
My dad stopped driving several months ago because he was getting dizzy spells. Since then, the spells have mostly subsided and he has been “threatening” every now and then that he will start driving again. This morning he had a doctor’s appointment that he needed to go to. We cannot leave my mom alone, so we […]
God’s Still Here
When I used to go with groups of youth and adults to Workcamp for a week, each day we would talk about where we saw God in that day. A friend of mine shared a couple of “God Sightings” with me today. One of them was about a friend of his who was driving on […]
Avoiding an Accident
My mom and I went out and about today. As we were driving home, I got in the left hand turn lane behind an SUV. It was a big intersection, so we both ended up pretty much in the middle of it. The light changed from green to yellow. I couldn’t see much past the […]
