Friends
Getting Out
I met a certain friend several years ago at a grief support group and we discovered that we had much in common. She had been caring for both her parents and both of our fathers had recently passed away. Soon after we met, her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. We made it to a […]
Successful Surgery
I was at a friend’s house today and we wondered about another friend who had hip surgery earlier this week. Our prayer group was praying for her and my friend said that she and her husband were praying for her many times during the day. I texted her, hoping to get a response. She did […]
New Adventures
After being together for a couple of months, my brother started off on his new adventure this morning. His dog was super excited to get on the road again. I had been worried about her as she is getting older and struggling to get around and had some stomach problems. When she has issues now, […]
Better Health
My brother has a great group of friends in the RV place that he stays in the winter. They even have Zoom get togethers when people are scattered for the summer. They are very close and supportive of one another. A couple of days ago, my brother told me about one of the ladies who […]
Joyful Move
I was talking to a friend today who recently moved into an affordable retirement community. The land was actually donated by the adjacent church. They partnered with a local construction company to build the apartment complex. My friend said she is so blessed and happy to be able to live there. She said it’s cozy […]
Simple Joy
As I was reflecting on the day and thinking about the ways I found God today, I kept coming up with very simple things. I spent time helping an elderly couple, cooking and cleaning and doing things that were difficult for them. We talked and prayed together. It wasn’t anything huge, but I enjoyed being […]
Rolling the Hose
I was out and about today and got home just as a storm was rolling in. My neighbor, who suffers from brain trauma and dementia, was outside his garage with his walker. He was somewhat carrying and dragging his garden hose. I greeted him and a big flash of lightning struck nearby followed by booming […]
Greek Festival
I met some friends this evening at a local Greek Orthodox Church. They were having their annual festival. We got some delicious Greek food including Gyros and baklava, and enjoyed perusing the vendor tents. One of them had icons in various sizes for sale, with different saints and holy events depicted. We also went inside […]
The Motor Home
I was visiting with an elderly couple today and they were reminiscing about when their 4 boys were younger. When they only had 2 boys and 1 on the way, they purchased a motor home. It was, of course, an old style with a small section that went over the cab. The boys would take […]
Such Strength
I have had a particular friend on my mind recently. Last I talked to her she was in the hospital and I wondered how she was doing. So, I gave her a call today. I was happy to hear that she was back at home recovering. She said she was a little frustrated as it […]
