It was late September and my bachelor party was set for that evening after work. I was excited! As I got ready for work I decided to dress up a bit, trading out my MO of flip flops for Frye boots. I felt great about the day to come. As I walked out to my …
My husband had been commuting from Detroit to Phoenix for nearly 6 months. He would fly out Sunday evening and come home Friday late in the day. One Sunday afternoon he surprised us by announcing he’d just changed his flight so he could fly out Monday morning early! You can only imagine how excited our …
Our 4 year old was hurting, had an awful scarlet rash and high temperature. I was a bit concerned when our regular Pediatrician was on his honeymoon and we had to see the ‘other’ doctor in the practice, he was quite elderly. He prescribed penicillin, asked a lot of questions, and said we’d talk the …
My step father has early stages of dementia, and my mom has arthritis so we were making plans to renovate our home to accommodate a move for them to come live with us. We worked on the plans for 2 years and were about to begin remodeling our Boston home when my mom came up …
The remodel was going well, but the flight of stairs from the front door up into the main part of the house was getting longer with each load of lumber and supplies. I began to realize that this house would be physically hard for us to live in, even if the tree top view from …
This has been on my heart and I wanted to share this experience… I have been remembering the Bible Verse Matthew 25: 35-40 for a while about giving to those who ask… And for some reason, I haven’t been able to shake it out of me and it keeps coming up. Today I went to …
The snow was falling and its beauty magnified by rows of amber street lights. It was a light snow and was for me a reminder of Robert Frosts, Stopping by the ‘Woods on a Snowy Evening’. Tonight, I was doing heating service calls in Milton and was driving down a narrow residential street off of …
We didn’t see the con coming, and it hit us hard. Unbeknownst to us we choose an irrational business partner who stole a lot of our savings. So to put ‘all hands on deck’ I went back to work by starting a small design business crafting high end tote bags and purses to help pay …
Times for good for my family, the kids were healthy, and we were blessed financially. One day, the mother of one of my son’s good friend’s took me aside and asked to borrow some money for just 2 weeks. She was working as a realtor and needed a loan until the house she had just …
I have an old friend “Sue” who lives in California. We haven’t talked in years but keep up with a relationship online. Due to the 3-hour time difference we can ‘pick up where we left off’ even if months fly by with no communication. One night I awoke at 3:00am having a powerful dream about …
Their son was 8 years old and had major surgery to remove a malignant brain tumor. The healing process developed complications and his seizure required an emergency action. The family gathered at the hospital during the surgery, and just Mom stayed the night once he was in recovery. It was a long night. After a …
This morning I felt compelled to contact the phone company even though it was not even on my lengthy to-do list. I’ve been dealing with our phone service for more than a month. Lines were working one day and dead the next. And I’d also been working with pricing. Our ministry really needs to get …
(This is a letter to Edwina Patterson, founder of Redeeming the Time Ministries, Loan Oak TX.) Thank you Edwina! Not only did I make it home safely, I have a story to share. God did amazing things last weekend and on the way home the voice was strong “Will you answer the call?” Just as …
It was a lovely morning so I sort of ‘snuck out’ in my nightgown to water my flowers before I got my day started. Much to my surprise my neighbor was also out walking – I tried to hide so as not to be caught outside in my nightie. Much to my embarrassment she spotted …
My friend was in the hospital for 4 weeks as her body was shutting down. I went to see her as often as I could, and one day I went to visit was her 53th Birthday! I took her down the hall from her room just to give her a change of wall color. We …
