You might want to sit down and get really comfortable when reading this short story… and before you ask, “Yes, this is a true story.” My husband might not be keen on me admitting that, but I must. My husband and I were only married a little over three years. We were still getting toContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO OUR NEIGHBORS”

MAY I WASH YOUR FEET?
This story has been germinating for many years, and it always brings tears to my eyes because of its special nature. No one is the perfect parent, except God, the Father. His first two children, Adam and Eve – who lived in a perfect environment, had a perfect parent: God Himself. They, however, blew itContinue reading “MAY I WASH YOUR FEET?”
CHOSEN
Perhaps you have a special personal story of delight and surprise. Like any woman, my age is neither posted at the local post office nor on Facebook. In case you are curious, I am older than some and younger than others, and a physician would likely be informing me that I needn’t worry about birthContinue reading “CHOSEN”
OUTSIDE HOSPITALITY
“Meals on Wheels“ Do you often think that if you are going to have coffee or dine with a friend that it must be at Starbucks, or a fancy restaurant? Let me introduce you to a new location.

A GENTLE WHISPER
Psalm 77:14 “You are the God Who does wonders.” Let’s never assume we have it in the bag thinking we know what a particular word means. Whether a noun or a verb, it proves so often that our finite minds can’t absorb what a term of communication entails. Are we alike in that when youContinue reading “A GENTLE WHISPER”
BUS DELIVERY OF A NEW FRIEND
When you frequent a place, don’t you find that you gravitate to the same area sometimes, perhaps even the same row of seats? And perish the thought if someone else should occupy “your seat” before your arrival. Though cool, it was a delightful Sunday morning in October. One of my favorite joys is greeting peopleContinue reading “BUS DELIVERY OF A NEW FRIEND”
A PICKUP THAT DIDN’T GO WELL
“NOT AT FIRST” Do you ever have days when everything just seems Blah? Your inner voice and motivation are essentially “Zero. Zip. Nada.” You try to talk to yourself to, “Get your act together!” I saw a cute cartoon which describes this day. It read: “If you see me talking to myself, not to worry.

EVENTS AT THE MEDICAL LAB
I gave more than blood! It was an early morning that day, and even the sun hadn’t come up yet. This day’s routine required leaving the house earlier than usual because I had an appointment with the people who draw blood at our local medical laboratory. That ordinary procedure developed a life of its ownContinue reading “EVENTS AT THE MEDICAL LAB”
