Problem
Help To Move
It is said that you know you have a really good friend when you call them at the last minute to help you move and they show up immediately. Well, my sister is in the process of moving and is 2 days from the close of selling her current place. She lives about 1 1/2 […]
St. Anthony Comes Through
Last week, my mom realized that she was missing a ring she wore to church. It was a “mother’s ring” that included the birthstones of each of her 5 children. She thought it was tight enough not to fall off and she didn’t remember taking it off herself. We called the church, but no one […]
Handy Men
My sister is getting ready to put her condominium up for sale. She has been working hard purging and packing. Today I was happy to be able to spend some time with her and give her a hand. Her son’s SUV is still at her place and she planned on using it to begin loading up her […]
Helpful Sales People
My dad purchased a new bed a few weeks back so he and my mom could be together, yet each have their own mattress and their own movable frame. There have been some problems with them and my dad has been having to move the mattresses every night to keep them in the right place. […]
Someone Moved
The other day, I saw a story on the news about a veteran who lost everything he owned in a house fire. He had a mobile home and while he was away, one of the propane heaters fell over and started the blaze. He thought one of his dogs may have knocked it over. In […]
Not My Schedule
Some words from this morning’s meditation really touched my heart, “Your desire to feel in control is often the culprit behind your frustration. You plan your day and expect others to behave in ways that expedite your plans. When that doesn’t happen, you face a choice: to resent the situation or to trust Me (God). […]
Uprooted
Every morning when I open my curtains, I peer out my window and up the window well to look at the top of a tree so I can see what the weather is like. This morning I looked up, but didn’t see the tree top. I had been listening to the wind blowing and as […]
Near Accident
After a cancelled flight the other day, my son finally made it in for a visit. His girlfriend and I went to the airport in the “big city” to pick him up. It was so good to see him walk through the arrival area. My nephew lives in the city, so we decided to meet up […]
Bringing Down the Pressure
Recently, my dad has been having some problems with erratic blood pressure, so we called his cardiologist last week. We spoke to the nurse on call who we have found to be a very helpful service. She talked with his doctor, gave us some guidance for the weekend, and made an appointment to see him […]
Waited For Good News
Among all the Thanksgiving good wishes yesterday was a message from a young woman I know. She was feeling particularly “mushy and reflective” as she had some concerning medical issues and was waiting to get answers. I understand how difficult it is to realize there is something wrong, but not know exactly what. Your mind always […]
