Patience
Super Patient Boy
My mom has been struggling to recover from diverticulitis and is still tired and weak. Today, she felt her heart rate was very low. I checked it and even though she has a pacemaker, it was very erratic. Needless to say, we ended up spending the afternoon in the Emergency Room. All the testing came […]
New Permit Driver
As I was out driving around today, I saw ahead of me a minivan that had something written on the back window. It reminded me of when the youth used to decorate our car windows before heading off to Workcamp. Being curious, I changed lanes and got behind the van to see what it was. […]
Growing Grandchildren
Today my grandkids and I had a lazy day. We hung out, played games, and cooked. I loved spending this time with them and seeing how much they have grown since I last saw them. My almost 3 Year old granddaughter is so funny, smart, and has a large vocabulary. But sometimes it was difficult […]
Pinching Patience
Today my mom, dad, and I read the scripture for the day. It was about needing to forgive others the way God forgives us. The prayer and challenge was to practice forgiveness throughout the day. My mom said that she already forgave my dad. He answered that it was for something he didn’t even know […]
Be Careful What You Pray For
I have heard “Be careful what you pray for – you just might get it!” I pray for patience on a regular basis. Today was an exercise in that virtue. My mom and I left the house this morning after breakfast for her first doctor’s appointment. I even left the breakfast dishes in the sink […]
Patience in Traffic
Today I had a few errands to run. I figured it would take me about an hour. I left a little bit later than I had intended and everywhere I went there was traffic and road construction. It took me a half an hour to get to a store when it should have taken only […]
Project in the Making
My parents’ exercise bike has been broken for a while and they were debating on what to do with it. Last week we decided to buy a new one. After my mom’s exercise class, we went to the store and she tried them all out until she found the one that would work the best. […]
Wisdom of Heaven
I went to an event this afternoon that honored those who are supporting families who foster children. In our city, there are teams of people who volunteer to help fostering families by offering babysitting, outings, running errands, or whatever else they may need. One family included a dad who was a pastor. He spoke for […]
I Grow Twins
When I went to the grocery store today, I got in line behind a woman with 2 small children about 4 and 2 1/2 years old. First I noticed the younger boy asking to buy a box of cereal that was nearby. The older girl said they had some at home, which was repeated by […]
A Gentle Spirit
I took my mom to physical therapy today. Shortly after she started exercising, a woman came in pushing a woman in a wheelchair who was severely disabled. I was sitting in a chair against a wall and had a view of the whole room as I watched my mom. I did watch some of what […]
