Bless Them
Tonight my prayer group talked about the necessity and power of intercessory prayer. One person shared a prayer they learned and put into practice. “Bless Them, Change Me”. Using the example of traffic and drivers who are annoying, you would say, “Bless them, change me.” In other words, you ask God to bless the person […]
ESP
Perhaps you have had a time or two when you were thinking of someone and then they call or stop by. That’s how it was tonight when I got in touch with a friend. She had been on my mind and I had been on hers. We had a great phone conversation and talked about […]
Say Only Good
This morning I read a scripture that stayed with me all day. It is beautiful, but challenging as well: Ephesians 4:29-32 Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them. Do nothing that will sadden the Holy Spirit with whom you were […]
Growing Granddaughter
The other day I made plans to take my daughter in law and granddaughter to the park. I was happy that my mom felt up to coming too. The weather was perfect – not too hot or too cool and the wind was not blowing. We started at the playground. My granddaughter is very cautious. […]
Death, Where is Your Sting
Yesterday I attended a memorial service for a friend’s mother. She and her husband lost 3 of their parents in about a year and a half. I thought about them the rest of the evening and dreamed about loved ones who have died. I woke up this morning feeling might low. I felt that it […]
Reciprocating Prayers
A friend contacted me this morning asking for prayers for her husband who is in the hospital. As I read through the previous texts, I realized many of them were regarding prayers – asking for them and promising them. I feel that praying for people is the best way we can express our love for […]
Dad’s Photos
My mom and I have been slowing going through some of my dad’s snapshots. I call them that, because his best photos are enlarged and many of them are matted and/or framed. What we are looking at are envelopes of prints. I am grateful that they are mostly categorized. My dad was a very organized […]
Girl’s Day
Today my sister came over, so it was girls day at the house with my mom and her 3 daughters. I did take advantage of the situation and snuck out for a massage, which was amazing. Other than that, we didn’t really do anything special, just visited and did some cleaning and worked on a […]
Outside News
This morning my mom and I got outside while the sun was warm and the air was cool. I got her all set up on the porch with a book and her water bottle while I worked in the garden area. The HOA has been working on fire mitigation and removed our 3 bushes that […]
Cemetery and Visitation
Today my mother and I made a trip out to the cemetery after her haircut. It was a beautiful day and we had not been able to get out there for Memorial Day. We were greeted by many large flags on poles at the entrance that weren’t there before. We drove around to the place […]
