Just One of the Kids
I went to the store this afternoon before the schools had let out, so there was not too many people there. As I was in one aisle scouring the shelves, a woman with 4 small children was there chatting with a friend. I noticed that one of the boys was in a wheelchair and hanging […]
Sis’ New Job
My sister was not treated very well at her last job. She was yelled at, cursed at, and made to feel like she was incompetent. It hurt me to know she had to endure that treatment and to see her so depressed. I was glad that she decided to go ahead and look for a […]
Be Still and Know That I am God
Tonight I joined my prayer group, who is across the country, via speaker phone. Although it was not in person, it was still wonderful to connect. We each received a journal that we will use as we contemplate scripture together. The cover of the journal has the scripture, “Be still and know that I am God.” […]
Unexpected Package
Don’t you just love receiving packages? Today, there was a box waiting for me in the mail. It was addressed to both me and my mom. It was from one of the ladies in my prayer group many miles away. Inside the box was a card and journal for me. I have been attending the […]
Chocolate Chip Pancakes
When my mom was feeling well, she, my dad, and I would go to church and then out to brunch. As she continues to recover, I have been going to the early service and then my dad goes to the later one. This morning I decided to cook brunch and have it ready when my dad […]
And It’s A . . .
I was so excited for the BIG REVEAL today! My parents and I connected via video chat to my grandson’s tablet. The connection was not very good and kept freezing, but it was fun to see everyone there. Then came the big moment. My daughter-in-law’s sister was the only one who knew the gender of […]
A Growing Life
My daughter in law went to the doctor today and had an ultrasound to see if they could determine the gender of the new little person growing in her womb. She sent me some pictures – which did not include the important parts. It is amazing to see the details of the baby – leg, […]
Yahtzee
Two weeks ago today, my mom returned home from having a pacemaker put in. The night before we took her to the doctor for the heart problem, we were playing Yahtzee. My mom was having a hard time during the game keeping track of how many rolls she had and how to keep her score. […]
Pi Day
Pi Day! Today as we were having breakfast, I remembered that “Super Pi Moment” was coming up – that the numbers in the date and time would match up the first 10 digits in the infinite number pi. I looked it up to see what time that would be, and it was occurring at that exact […]
New Job
Today my sister came for a visit. She has been struggling recently trying to find a job. At her previous job, she was treated very poorly. It drained her and dragged her down something terrible. When she got to the house, she told us all about an interview that she had this morning. She thought […]
