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”

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”

“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.

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”
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”
AN EVENING OBSERVATION AT THE AIRPORT
It was an early evening-event that occurred at the Portland airport. The specific location was the United Club. These clubs host travellers that carry MANY miles of travel on their “mileage program.” My husband’s travel over the years has earned him more miles than I can handle on my calculator. Because these miles keep accruingContinue reading “AN EVENING OBSERVATION AT THE AIRPORT”
AN EARLY MORNING BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
Good morning! I think that’s an appropriate start to this sweet story. Were you aware that God gives us “clues” on how and who to choose as friends.
