Grateful For Grandson
I had an appointment this morning, so my grandson came over and spent the time with my mom. When I returned, we had such a great conversation. We talked about his job for a bit and what he had to do for the rest of the day. He told me about some plans that he […]
Veteran’s Day Blessing
My brother left to go back home yesterday after a great visit. He also fixes up some things on my to do list of which I am extremely grateful. When he was here a few months ago, he took much of my dad’s military memorabilia and built a beautiful shadowbox to house it all. He […]
Real Revolution
There has been so much political advertising and opinions all culminating with the election. Today was all about the results. But that will only ramp up the propaganda and information that is thrown at us. I often think about how great it would be if all political parties could just agree on the basic fact […]
Made For Him
Shortly after my dad died, a caring relative sent us the book, “I Heard God Laugh” by Matthew Kelly. My my mom picked it up last week and started reading. She said it was really good for her and so easy to read. Today she had to read an excerpt to me that was very […]
Made the Visit
With her daughter’s encouragement, my mom’s friend had minor surgery to lift her eyelids last week so she could see better. The surgery went very well, but it left her with some bruises around her eyes. She called yesterday and wondered if she should still come over since she looked like Boris Karloff. She didn’t […]
Distant Relatives
For many years, my mom and sister worked on scrapbooking family memories. My mom has probably a dozen beautiful scrapbooks, each with its own theme. They are treasures for sure. Tonight, my grandson came over for a while to keep my mom company while I went to a prayer group. Last time he was here, […]
Grandma’s Day
My mom looks at her calendar every day so she can keep track of what’s going on. A couple days ago she spotted “Grandparents Day” was approaching. She noted it every day and complained that nobody ever says anything about it or advertises for it. Perhaps it has become overshadowed by the terrorist attack on […]
Discipleship
Tonight my mom read from her “the WORD among us” magazine. Part of it followed nicely with what I meditated upon last night. That’s when I know God is speaking to me. It said in part, “Even without persecution or martyrdom, every disciple of Jesus will go through some type of suffering as we follow […]
Making an Entrance
When my sister arrived this morning, we all said hello and how are you and such. However, my brother’s dog was super excited and ran to her and wagged her tail and tried her best not to jump up. My sister petted her and told her what a good girl she was. It reminded me […]
Melted My Heart
I had a dinner date with friends tonight, so my grandson graciously came over to spend time with my mom. When I got back home, I found them sitting on the sofa together looking through a photo album. They were on the page of the pictures of my mom and dad near the same age […]
