Connected
Jesus Calling
I was so happy to connect to my prayer group via Facetime tonight. Even though I am not able to be there in person and it has been a while since I have talked with them, it is as beautiful as a biological sisterhood. We are able to talk to each other safely about whatever is […]
It’s Good to be Little
I thought I was doing pretty good reading my book for the “retreat” I am participating in. We meet once a week for 10 weeks and have a reading assignment for each week. I looked over the schedule again this morning and realized that I still had quite a bit to read. After getting the daily […]
He Told My Story
Tonight I went to a meeting at the church to learn about how I might be able to help support teens who are in foster care. At one point the presenter was asked how he came to work for the organization that is launching this new program. The presenter said he is a psychologist who worked […]
The Blessing
Tonight my son’s girlfriend sat down at the piano and started to go through my mom’s stacks of music. She came across a piece that my mother sang with her choir when she was in high school. She played a bit, my mom sang, and I attempted to harmonize. My mom explained that the song […]
Memories
I am so happy that my son and his girlfriend are here visiting for a few days. My son sat down at the piano and his girlfriend joined him. I loved listening to them play and sing together. My parents did too. It reminded them of when they were younger and my mom played the […]
Christmas Joy
Merry Christmas! I spent the day as most people – exchanging messages of Christmas cheer on social media, sharing pictures with those far away, opening gifts and surprising people with theirs, and eating too much yummy food. I talked to my travelling brother. I read lots of wonderful Christmas messages and stories of many people helping […]
Christmas Music
A while back, I told my parents that I wanted to go some kind of Christmas show this year. In the past, I made it somewhat of a tradition to bring my kids and others to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. Every year we would invite different people to come along with us. It was a […]
Perfect Timing
It was a beautiful day today, so we decided to make a trip up to the cabin. As we approached, we passed by the house of a good friend who my parents have not seen in quite some time. He is not in the area right now and my parents were talking about him and […]
My sister makes an amazing coffee toffee. She came over for the weekend so together we could make large quantities of the candy for friends and family. I had never done it before, so she gave me jobs and taught me along the way. Of course, she has it all down to a science and […]
Embrace the Day
Today I talked to my daughter-in-law and got caught up on the family happenings. I called back a little later and my grandson answered as his mom was driving. He filled me in on his upcoming birthday plans which of course he is very excited for. He told me about Thanksgiving and how different it […]
