Children
Three Little Boys
My mom and I watched some of “America’s Got Talent” tonight. There was an amazing story that a father of 6 told before he sang to the audience. When his wife gave birth to their daughter, the 2 of them almost died. The man prayed all night and was of course grateful that his family […]
Hummans Collect
My mom and I watched a program tonight about little kids who do amazing things. There was a little boy who read science books and learned all about space. My mom said that was just like my older brother. He also used to read science books at just 6 years old. One day he came […]
Compassionate Grandson
I received a text early this morning from my younger grandson. He said that his little sister was having some kind of a problem with her foot and couldn’t walk. After a bit, I contacted my son and his wife who told me that she had a big blister from her new shoes. I was […]
A Trip Thoroughly Enjoyed
I made it home last night after a long day. I hugged and kissed my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren – several times – before they left for the day. When I headed to the airport, it was pouring rain. I questioned if my first flight would be delayed, but it took off on time. […]
Growing Grandchildren
Today my grandkids and I had a lazy day. We hung out, played games, and cooked. I loved spending this time with them and seeing how much they have grown since I last saw them. My almost 3 Year old granddaughter is so funny, smart, and has a large vocabulary. But sometimes it was difficult […]
Me Be A Doggie
As my dad goes through his photography from years back, my mom and he talk about their memories. Today my mom told a story told to her by my dad’s aunt. One day she caught her toddler son outside “watering the bushes”. When the mom asked what he was doing, he responded, “Me be a […]
New Foster Father
When I was working in youth ministry, I met many fellow workers in the field. It was such a great group of people who had a heart for God, a heart for youth, and a support to one another. I admired them individually in the many ways they lived their faith. Today, among all the […]
Homemade Prayer Card
I have a couple of prayer cards that I like to use in the morning, but I haven’t been able to find them recently. Today as I looked all around in my assorted piles, I came across a prayer card that was made by my nephew when he was about 6 years old. I thought […]
Discovering Relatives
Today was the last day of my dad’s cousin’s visit. His wife had made contact with another woman on the ancestry website who was also working on the family genealogy. She gave her a call and introduced her to my dad. The woman started right in talking about her history. It turns out that she […]
Are You My Mother
My favorite book when I was a child was the Dr. Seuss story, “Are You My Mother?” even though I remember being afraid and wondering if the baby bird was ever going to see his mother again. I’m sure I had it memorized at one time and loved reading it to my own kids. My […]
