Griping to Grateful
We watched another episode of Olympics tonight and saw an interview with Mikaela Shiffrin. She said after she won her gold medal, she took the time to enjoy the moment when she is usually thinking about what she has to do for the next event. She soaked in the moment and showed her emotions. After […]
Courageous Hope
A woman I know had a very rough time of it during Christmas. She had appendicitis, then her husband suddenly got very ill. He was in the hospital for weeks with a form of sepsis and they ended up having to amputate several of his toes. He then spent more time in rehab and finally […]
Friend Takes Action
Each month a group of people I used to work with get together. I saw them for dinner tonight. One of the ladies told us the story of her recent hospital stay. Last month she fell at her house and broke her leg. A few days later, she was having trouble breathing. She has serious […]
Super Occurence
Yesterday, my dad and I headed up to the cabin hoping to get a good view of the moon. It was cloudy when we arrived and the forecast called for more high clouds. So, I was praying that the sky would clear for just a little while. When I got up in the morning, the […]
Like Normal
My mom’s health has been improving little by little over the past year. She has been committed to her exercise classes, playing the piano, taking long walks, and riding her exercise bike. She even does the Wii on occasion. She gets out with others, does more around the house, and sings in church. She has […]
Sharing Food
Today I saw a touching story. A woman talked about how her older children were now out of the house so she doesn’t cook very much any more. But she decided to make dinner for herself one night. Not knowing how to prepare a small amount, she cooked a large meal. She had so much […]
Enjoying a Break
We decided to make a trip to the cabin in the mountains today. When we got there and looked around, the place looked unusually clean. Normally there are lots of dead flies from being in a closed up house. Gross, I know. Today there were only a couple. There is always something that really needs […]
Forgiven Accident
The other day as I was driving into a parking lot, I saw a car backing out of a parking spot in front of me. The driver of the small car couldn’t see me as there was a big truck next to it so I stopped and waited for it to back up. Suddenly, I […]
Unexpected Prayer Partner
Tonight I went to a Lifetree Cafe group about caregiving that a friend invited me to. The discussion group has different topics each week and includes a short message about God. I started by meeting a couple of people at the table. There was a short video of a woman who had taken care of […]
Super Support Group
Today my mom and I went to the monthly Parkinson’s support group. This month, we broke into 2 groups – the Parkinsonians and the caregivers. Many of the caregivers talked about what a blessing the group has been to them and their loved ones. There is so much information and wisdom that is shared. Everyone […]
