Loving Grandkids
I spent most of today with my younger grandson and granddaughter while the oldest had a game and their mom and dad were off to work. We all thought about what would be a fun place to go for a 12 year old and a 4 year old and decided on mini golf. Instead of […]
Tangible Love
This evening I was blessed to attend the wedding of a good friend who I worked with at the church years ago. I always admired what a strong, independent woman she is and never even saw her dating during the years I knew her. So when she told me she was getting married, I was […]
Living as Siblings
Tonight I had a conversation with a young man in my Bible class. He has a faith that is evident and intriguing. In the conversation he mentioned his wife. I asked how long they had been married. He said they were civilly married a couple years ago. Then he said that they had been living […]
Consolers in the Waiting Room
I took my dad to the hospital for a routine procedure today and had a long wait while he was being tended to. At first, the small waiting room was packed. There was one woman who seemed to be having a particularly difficult time. She was brought in a wheelchair by an attendant who made […]

She took her to the emergency vet who kept her and did what they could to treat her. Shockingly, the next day […]
Long Lasting Love
Today I was very happy to be able to attend the 50th wedding anniversary party for one of the couples in my prayer group. The event was hosted by one of their daughters’ at her home. I had heard a lot about the family and seen photos, but this is the first time I met […]
Most of the Family
This Father’s Day, we had quite a group of family at the house to celebrate – both my sisters, my brother, my son, and my nephew. My other brother who lives in another state was the only sibling missing, but he sent chocolates and goodies and had a long Facetime with my dad. It was […]
