Generous Love
This evening I watched a program featuring a woman who talked about having an abortion when she was a young teenager. She was only 15 years old when she found herself pregnant. Her mother didn’t want her to have the baby and didn’t want the baby to be born under those circumstances. So the young […]
Housing More Children
I was visiting with my neighbor tonight when she received a call from her daughter in law. She was asking if she could borrow the small mattress that her son uses when he spends the night at “Mimi’s”. My neighbor explained that her son and his wife are involved in an organization that is similar […]
Jewelry Videos
I am so glad that I made some videos of my mom explaining some of the jewelry that she had collected over the years. We would never have known the origin of them otherwise. Today I took some to the jewelry repair shop. There was a strand of pearls that had come apart some time […]
Mary, Martha, Lazarus
Today the church celebrates the Memorial of Saints Mary, Martha and Lazarus. I read the scripture story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and watched a reflection about it. There were 2 things that struck me. The first was the shortest passage in the Bible, which is “Jesus wept”, John 11:35. The reflection explained […]

Trip Reflection
I have missed my weekly Zoom meetings with my siblings for several weeks now since I was traveling. So, I was happy to connect with them today. I told them a couple of stories about the trip. I also visited a neighbor and told them a couple of stories too. Talking about the road trip […]
Picking Out the Suit
Today I had the amazing privilege to go with my son to pick out a suit for his wedding day. He had tried a couple of stores, but struggled to find something that fit him properly. He picked me up and while we were on our way to the shop, he told me about the […]
Dream of Heaven
A young man that I have known since he was in high school lost his father almost 2 years ago. I wanted to visit his dad’s grave, so the young man tried to explain to me where it was. Then he offered to take me there, which really touched my heart. We got together tonight […]
Continued Family Relationships
Today I was catching up with a friend who I would see every now and again as they came out to visit her husband’s family. They were struggling trying to help care for his parents while living in another state. His father passed away several years ago and his mother died just over a year […]
