Goodbye to Goldie
My poor old dog has been suffering for a while now, and I have been praying to know how best to help her and/or know when to let her go. She could barely walk any more and I have been doing what I can to get nourishment in her as she was refusing to eat. […]
Mother’s Day Love
Happy Mother’s Day! One of my son’s called me first thing this morning and we talked for a long time. When he is in a chatty mood, we can go on and on! At church, all the women received a special blessing – whether they were mothers or not – and received a carnation. I […]
God In Me and You
Tonight I was excited to video chat with my prayer group who live so far away. To prepare for this night, we read the scripture John 14:15-21. One of the verses that we talked about quite a bit was verse 20, “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you […]
63 Years of Marriage
Today is my parent’s 63rd wedding anniversary. We started the day by going to church. My dad bought my mom a rose corsage that she proudly wore to publicize the special day. I had called the church office a few days ago to see if my parents could get a special blessing. My mom and dad did not […]
TWLOHA
Today a wonderful young woman I know organized a 5K run for an organization that in her words, “is very important to me.” It is called, “To Write Love On Her Arms”. It started with a story that a young man wrote about his encounter with a young woman who was battling depression, addiction, self-mutilation, […]
Cooking Day
A long time ago, I learned that it is important to do what I can when I can. I have had physical restrictions almost my entire life. There have been several times when I wondered how much I would be capable of doing. For example, a few years ago I had a terrible time with […]
Just One of the Kids
I went to the store this afternoon before the schools had let out, so there was not too many people there. As I was in one aisle scouring the shelves, a woman with 4 small children was there chatting with a friend. I noticed that one of the boys was in a wheelchair and hanging […]
Well Wishers
Today there were so many people who called to check up my mom – her friends, brother and sister, and my siblings. She even received some flowers. Even though she was not able to talk very much, it was great to know that she was in their thoughts and prayers. It helped to lift her […]
The Jewelry Store
A few years ago, my siblings and I pitched in and bought my mom a charm bracelet for her birthday. She loves it, but it is so heavy, it makes marks on her wrist when she wears it. Needless to say, she doesn’t wear it very much. For Valentine’s Day, my dad bought her a […]
God In Death
In the past couple of days, I feel like I have heard of so much death. My aunt passed away the other night as did a good friend’s husband and recently another friend’s father. On TV and internet, the sight of the Egyptian Christians led to their murder is everywhere. And there was the young […]
