Amazing Cure
I got together with a couple friends tonight. We laughed a lot and exchanged lots of amazing stories. One is truly unbelievable. My friend has a relative who was diagnosed with cancer. When they started to do surgery, they realized that the cancer was very aggressive and had spread to pretty much every organ in […]
Friends There
My mom and I haven’t been to the Parkinson’s support group for a couple of months now for one reason or the other. We decided to go today as we wanted to hear the talk on nutrition and enjoy the potluck Thanksgiving lunch. As we were getting ready to go, my mom said that she […]
Understanding
I was talking with a friend today about jobs. She said she goes to her office, does her work, and then goes home. She said that I am not able to do that in the job I have in caring for my parents. She went on to completely relate to my situation. It was an […]
Blessing of Family
Tonight I went to a Bible class. We just started reading the book of Exodus. One statement that really stood out to me was that God blesses people with family. In Chapter 1 of Exodus, it describes how the Pharaoh wanted to dwindle the numbers of the Israelites. He commanded the midwives to kill all […]
Friend Feeling Better
A woman I know has been on my mind and in my prayers. I saw her two weeks ago and she was having some medical issues. I could tell in her demeanor that she wasn’t feeling well and that she was worried. I saw her again tonight and she was looking much better. She said […]
Quick Decision, Lifelong Blessing
We spent some time at the cabin today and visited with a friend of my parents who is the closest neighbor. He started building his house a couple of years after my dad started building and they have known for about 40 years. He told the story of how he came to purchase the land. […]
Let Go of Fear
I like going for walks around the cabin in the mountains. While we were there, we got together with some of my parents’ friends. One of them said that a while ago he had seen footprints of a mountain lion in his driveway. He said I was pretty brave to be hiking around there. I […]
Experience of God
I was talking with a group of people tonight about “feeling” God or the Holy Spirit. One man said that he didn’t ever “feel” God in his life. He knew about God. He is a faithful church goer and reads the Bible. He is very involved in the church and believes in Jesus Christ as […]
Switching Prayers
The other day I talked with a young woman I know who is expecting her first baby soon. She found a lump a few weeks ago and ended up having a tumor removed. Needless to say, she was pretty worried about it being cancerous and the doctors seemed to be taking a long time in […]
A Thoughtful Note
A while back a young couple I know visited the state and we were able to get together for dinner. I received a note from them in the mail today. Each of them took the time to write a short paragraph. It seems like handwritten notes sent in the mail are not very common. So, […]
