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!”

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”
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”
A SKATING ELEPHANT
Not long ago, my husband and I were reminiscing about funny things that occurred when we were younger. So, sit back and relax as I invite you into my parents’ kitchen in Columbus, Ohio. My husband and I lived in Canada at the time, but several times a year I would fly back to visitContinue reading “A SKATING ELEPHANT”
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”
YES, WE ARE ALL LIKE SHEEP
These events took place in an airport lounge area. My husband has more air miles accumulated than you could imagine. And because I’m his wife, I have some access to some of his perks. One advantage is that I can relax and snack at the airline lounges in various airports. This particular moment began atContinue reading “YES, WE ARE ALL LIKE SHEEP”
GOD REMEMBERS Even Years Later
This story is true and took place a number of years ago. It’s a story of our wedding day. If you’re married, you may look back and remember details about your day very clearly. For some, it may seem like blur! I mean that kindly, but our nervous system may have erased some elements ofContinue reading “GOD REMEMBERS Even Years Later”
A CITIZEN AT LAST
My husband and I have MOVED, TRANSITIONED, RELOCATED and been “transplanted” numerous times. For those of you who have followed our friendship close up, you’ve often shared about the why’s and the need for purchasing new address books to keep up with us. I laugh as I write this; but being transplanted is not justContinue reading “A CITIZEN AT LAST”
RELATIONAL PRIVILEGES
With the last couple of “posts,” you may be assuming that I’m a “frequent flyer.” That assumption would be wrong. In fact I seldom fly, I still prefer the automobile. Because of my husband’s travel for his job, he has accrued thousand upon thousands of air miles. I call him Mr. Mileage Plus! But withContinue reading “RELATIONAL PRIVILEGES”
