An Adult Stroller
It was another beautiful sunshiny day today, so I took advantage of the opportunity and went for another long walk. As I was walking downhill on one sidewalk, I saw someone pushing a stroller walking uphill coming towards me. There appeared to be a couple of dogs walking with the person. As we got closer […]
Loving One Another
Today at church, the deacon told a beautiful story that went along with the scripture readings, particularly “… love your neighbor as yourself”. He said when he was little, his father would occasionally come home from work with a little toy for him. The family owned a shoe store and sometimes he would go to work […]
Keeping the Traditions
Today my mom’s friend came over for their usual weekly visit. My mom had a valentine all ready for her. Her husband passed away a couple of years ago. She told us that her daughter bought her a box of chocolates just like her husband used to. Her daughter was making sure that she was […]
Loving Reminder
This morning I read a brief article that included the words of Jesus in John 15:5, “…without me you can do nothing.” During the day I thought of the many times I have relied on God to get me through a rough time, to keep me from doing the wrong thing, to restrain my not […]
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
Today my parents and I watched the adorable viral video of the little 4 year old girl and her dad singing, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. It brought tears to my eyes. According to the news, the video has been seen over 100 million times. Why is this video so widely popular? I think there […]
The Vision
My sister works at a natural foods distributor and always brings us some interesting and yummy treats. The other day we cracked into a “Chocolove” peppermint in dark chocolate bar. It was delicious. When we had finished the bar, my dad discovered a poem on the inside of the wrapper. It was called, “The Vision” […]
Exchanging Love
Each time I go to the caregiver support group, I came away with a little more knowledge and a little more inspired. One of the women is taking care of her mother who has dementia and Parkinson’s. She is very committed to her mom and always talks about how much she means to her. Today […]
Reexamining Repentance
My parents and I went to church this evening. Part of the scripture that was read was about John the Baptist. He told everyone to get ready for Jesus as He was coming soon. He also warned people to repent. Often we think of repentance as a humiliating process – particularly if we go to […]
You’re Amazing
Today as my parents and I were out and about, we passed by a home that we affectionately call the “Hippie House”. My parents have seen it transform many times over the years. The owners have added multi-colored accessories, large rocks, and a fence of sorts made out of tree stumps. There seems to be […]
Come Together
Well, the election is over. The vote was so close and the nation was just about split in half. There were a lot of people very upset over the outcome. But, there was an overriding tone of the day that was about unity – bringing people together. President Elect Trump talked about just that when […]
