Bird Conversations
I was blessed to get my mom outside for quite a while this morning. It was the perfect temperature for her – 80 degrees in the shade. She didn’t even have to wear a sweater or jacket. We admired the blooming flowers, especially the neighbor’s peonies that just started popping open. There was a lot […]
Utmost Patience
My mom was somewhat agitated today which ramped up in the afternoon as usual. However, she was more unsettled than normal. She was up and down and in and out of bed instead of napping. She was so tired, but would only lay down for a couple minutes before getting up. Luckily, one of our […]
About Suffering
I have been listening to a couple different series on the Hallow app. This morning I was focused on Mary, the Mother of Jesus. I thought about her willingness to follow God and trust Him with her life. Even so, it didn’t keep her from suffering. The worst was when she had to stand by […]
Quite a Day
My mom got up several times last which unfortunately isn’t too unusual. Evidently she wore herself out as she didn’t get up then until after 10:30. I was pleasantly surprised that she was moving quite well. She walked with her walker the majority of the day, which doesn’t happen very often any more. In the […]
Stroller Meeting
I was blessed to be able to take a walk in the park today. As a bonus, I happened to be there just at the time that the Thunderbirds were flying overhead in formation practicing for tomorrow’s Air Force Academy graduation. The sight and sounds of the jets are always thrilling to me. When I […]
Lending an Ear
I felt relieved to get through my stack of paperwork today. It was helpful to have one of our trustworthy caregivers here to help watch over my mom. To finish up, I needed to go to the bank. The teller was super nice and saw I was the POA on my mom’s account. She asked […]
Good Start
My grandson is going on his first solo adventure. I’ve been praying for his protection. For the first part of the trip, he left this morning to drive to the East Coast. I was glad to hear that he made it to his first stop safe and sound. He’s off to a good start. I […]
Making Progress
This morning I called the insurance company and spoke to them about the toilet incident. The claims adjuster was very informative and helpful. She contacted the restoration company, contacted an appraiser who contacted me, and walked me through the next steps. When the restoration company arrived, they already knew exactly what needed to be done […]
You Are That Special
I went to prayer group tonight and we got on the topic of the universe and creation. Specifically, how amazing it is when you see photos of the universe and the little tiny space that our Earth takes up. When you then think about each person on our planet, we are quite minute indeed. I […]
Future Love
As I was listening to the radio today, I heard a beautiful statement, “God doesn’t love your future self more than your current self.” In other words, God loves us individually, perfectly, at all times, in all circumstances of life. That gave me comfort and hope. I Found God today reminded that He loves me […]
