Continuing Friendship
A friend and her family was in town and I was glad that they made some time for us to visit. It was even their 24th wedding anniversary, which I learned as we were talking. She has always been a faithful and encouraging person who I could count on when she volunteered in youth ministry. […]
Grateful for the System
My dad had an appointment with the eye doctor today. Thankfully, everything looks great – there has been no change since his last visit. Since he had no news to share, the doctor told us about his travels to other countries as he learns and speaks about health care. He said that the health care […]
Joy of Old Friendship
We spent today at the cabin. When we arrived yesterday, we noticed that one of the neighbors seemed to be around, so we stopped. He was indeed there and we chatted for a while. Since we are very in and out of the place and others are too, we don’t visit people very much. It […]
Navy Folding
We made a trip to the cabin today. The last group of people who were here included my nephew who is in the Navy. I went to put some things away in the loft bedroom, and found the he had folded all the bedding and displayed it just so. It made me smile. I thought […]
Premonitions
A friend stopped by this afternoon. Among other things, we talked about how God prepares your heart for things coming up – if you really listen. People talk about having “premonitions”. My friend and I have had those feelings before. I think that God puts things in our hearts and in our thoughts. As we […]
It’s About You
I read Bishop Robert Barron’s meditation on the scripture Matthew 9:9-13 and it really hit my heart. This is what it said in part: ” . . . I urge you to read it and meditate upon it this week, for it’s about you. The Bible says that Jesus told Matthew, “Follow me.” The call of […]
Hummans Collect
My mom and I watched a program tonight about little kids who do amazing things. There was a little boy who read science books and learned all about space. My mom said that was just like my older brother. He also used to read science books at just 6 years old. One day he came […]
Mile Monday
I went to my water aerobics class this morning after being absent for almost 2 weeks. When I got there, I found out it was “Mile Monday”. The goal was to try to swim a mile in the hour class time. The instructor set me up with some tokens and a cup to keep track […]
A Trip Thoroughly Enjoyed
I made it home last night after a long day. I hugged and kissed my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren – several times – before they left for the day. When I headed to the airport, it was pouring rain. I questioned if my first flight would be delayed, but it took off on time. […]
Growing Grandchildren
Today my grandkids and I had a lazy day. We hung out, played games, and cooked. I loved spending this time with them and seeing how much they have grown since I last saw them. My almost 3 Year old granddaughter is so funny, smart, and has a large vocabulary. But sometimes it was difficult […]
