Making an Entrance
When my sister arrived this morning, we all said hello and how are you and such. However, my brother’s dog was super excited and ran to her and wagged her tail and tried her best not to jump up. My sister petted her and told her what a good girl she was. It reminded me […]
Public Apology
Today I brought my mom to have her hearing aids cleaned and checked. As we were waiting, other people were checking in for their appointments. One person was getting rather frustrated, though I didn’t hear exactly what was being said. A few minutes later, I heard the person say to the worker, “I’m sorry I […]
Hug With Prayers
After thinking about far away friends, I had conversations with a few today. It was so nice to catch up. However, even when I don’t talk with people for a long time for whatever reason, I still think about and pray for them. I saw a post from a friend that said, “When my arms […]
Returning To Support
I talked with a friend today. We both moved away within about a year of each other. She moved to a place with family and long time friends. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as well as she had hoped. She told me that she recently moved back. She explained about the area she was living […]
All The T’s
My mom had an appointment with another new PCP today. Her nurse had the same name as my sister. When I told her my name, she said she had a sister with the same name. She also had a brother with the same name as one of my brothers. Turns out she was one of […]
True Strength
Many times, perhaps most, strength doesn’t meant going it alone, standing and fighting by yourself. It means relying on others, allowing others to help. Mostly, relying on God. A friend of mine’s husband died unexpectedly several years ago. As she was reflecting on the anniversary of his death, she shared a quote that I thought […]
Uplifting Weekend
About 35 years ago I started working a 5 year stent at Target. During that time, I became good friends with many of my coworkers. We would get together, celebrate milestones, camp, and even travel together. We had a lot of fun, but also had serious life conversations. From early on, we always called one […]
Piece of the Puzzle
I saw a quote from Toby Mac in a couple different places, so it seemed like an important message to hear and the share: “You are part of a puzzle in someone’s life. You may never know where you fit, but someone’s life may never be complete without you in it.” I Found God today […]
Throwback
It was another sweltering day, but my sister and I planned on taking a hike this morning. However, it was difficult to find the trailhead in the little town in the foothills. It was even harder to find a place to park. We ended up in the downtown area where we could pick up the […]
Back From Mission
Our neighbor’s returned from their mission trip in Ecuador. My mom, sister’s, and I helped get some of the materials ready for the English Bible Camp before they left. We have been praying for them every day. I received an email from the wife today. She thanked us for the help, the prayers and said […]
