Hedwig
A couple weeks ago, I met a woman who was introduced as Heddy. She explained that her real name was Hedwig after the saint of the same name. She felt her name was so unusual and not very appealing, so she went by Heddy. On October 15 as I was listening to my Hallow app, […]
It was such good news to hear that my friend’s mom was discharged from the hospital today. In one of the messages, my friend mentioned that she needed to get a new toilet seat for her mom. I remembered that I had kept the bedside commode that we purchased for my mom. It was all […]
Happy Trees
I was busy cleaning today and when evening came, I was happy to sit and rest. I turned on the TV and came across PBS. Bob Ross was just about to come on, so I left it on the channel. I haven’t actually ever watched one of his painting episodes and was curious to see […]
Involved in Care
I spent some time with elderly friends today who have caregivers coming and going in their house now. They seem to have taken to it alright, and I think it’s incentive for them to be more functional. I still go to help them a couple days. Yesterday while I was there, the wife showed me […]
Supportive Group
My friend spent the day in the hospital with her mother as they waited for her to have a pacemaker implanted. It was a long day with a long wait and my friend kept me and our friend’s group updated. There were a lot of prayers by everyone all during the day. Her mom had […]
Spiritual Encounters
Yesterday I heard from a friend who took her mom to the hospital. She had been feeling bad for a few weeks, but refused to get medical help. Finally she agreed. They found that her 91 year old heart was beating very erratically and the surgeons will be implanting a pacemaker tomorrow. When she is […]
Draining the Sprinkler System
It has been a pretty warm Fall so far, but the weather is changing the next couple of days. When I was at my friend’s house today, the gentleman who had knee surgery was concerned about the water in the sprinkler system. He said it should be turned off and drained. He really wanted to […]
God Took Care of It
A couple of months ago, a friend of mine told me that her teenaged grandson had moved in with her. It was very unexpected. She was happy he was there and that he felt comfortable and safe with her. It has been quite some time since she had a teenager living in her home and […]
Prayer for the Deceased
A friend and I went to the cemetery this morning. The group of men from Knights of Columbus gather there on the 2nd Saturday of the month to pray the rosary for all those buried there. We joined in. It was a beautiful day and so peaceful praying with everyone. Then my friend and I […]
Good Diagnosis
A neighbor stopped by this morning and we chatted a bit. She told me she had to take her husband to the ER yesterday. He was awaiting some tests this morning and she was heading over to the hospital. She asked for prayers, which I did. Later in the day I heard back from her. […]
