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. Continue reading “A PICKUP THAT DIDN’T GO WELL”

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”

The Gift of our Words: the expression of our hearts!

Though we have all heard the expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” but what does that mean?  For me, it’s when I see something so lovely, so heart-warming, and so delightful that it moves my hearts beyond verbal expression.  We hear people trying to express themselves after an event as “that’s beyond description,”Continue reading “The Gift of our Words: the expression of our hearts!”

TELEPHONE TREASURES

During our short lives, God orchestrates many cameo appearances of people who walk in and out of our lives.  Often our interactions are brief, and we can’t connect with everyone, but we can make a difference in the lives of a few. Each interaction allows for laughter, hope, care, love and a listening ear. It’sContinue reading “TELEPHONE TREASURES”

MY UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

Deep down in our hearts, aren’t we all yearning to “feel special,” “be special,” and feel like our lives are significant to someone?  Have you, like me, ever entertained the thought: “Does anyone really care to know me?   Do I matter to anyone?  Am I  just scenery down here for people to glance at? WhatContinue reading “MY UNEXPECTED JOURNEY”

HUNTING DOWN LOST DOGS

It is a joy to reach out to our neighbors, for a variety of reasons.  One being that neighbors are close by and are often a wonderful source of help in an emergency.  We were living in Southern California, and our homes were situated on a relatively short street.  In that climate people are oftenContinue reading “HUNTING DOWN LOST DOGS”
