January 14, 2019 Getting ready for a cruise. Is there anything more fun than preparing for a cruise on the Caribbean? Sometimes, God gives me a wink and opens the opportunity for me to do just that. But although the fun, the sun, gourmet food, the shows and visits to exotic islands describe a cruise, …
September 28, 2018 “Summer is over and we need to get into a new routine,” my daughter-in-law said to my grandkids. Being a young mom…and being blind. Her comment took me to those busy days I had as a young mom. Mornings when my sons were in grade school and I was busy ironing their …
September 14, 2018 The other day I got busy changing our bed sheets. Although I have no sight, it’s an easy task except for the fitted sheets. The challenge is matching the right corners. And this particular time, no matter how much I turned the sheet, stretched, pulled and yanked, the corners just wouldn’t …
September 7, 2018 “I didn’t know any better,” I whispered to my friend seated beside me. We took turns around the table sharing silly stories about our younger days. And when I told a few details about how, in my twenties, I belly danced for exercise, some giggled. Others gasped in surprise. Although I never …
August 3, 2018 It’s a crazy sight. Without a second thought, I push my Mom on a wheelchair. No blind person should be pushing anything at all, much less a ninety-year-old sweet lady. But this past week, I did just that. I held on to my Mom’s arm as we entered the store. She spotted …
June 1, 2018 “And you can now get mature manure,” the radio announcer said, “and you’ll have the greenest grass ever.” Mature manure? Who ever heard of that? But as odd as its name, so was its effect. It turns out that when you put this product on your grass, it protects it and produces …
May 18, 2018 What’s that smell? Not long ago, an unidentified odor filled the front of our house. We tried and tried to find the source but failed. We cleaned, washed and sprayed air freshener. Nothing worked. To make it worse, since I’m blind, my sense of smell is heightened. Ugh! There was only one …
April 20, 2018 High Heels vs. Tennis Shoes Some months ago, a friend came to pick me up. I opened the front door, she came in and paused, “What’s with the high heels,” she asked “Why not?” “Because we’ll be doing a lot of walking in those airports. You need comfortable shoes.” She stomped …
March 23, 2018 For you this week, a guest post from Carol Graham who has a story that’s sure to inspire. Carol found that when the world says something is impossible, when doctors give you a hopeless diagnosis, and the future looks dim…we have a choice. The choice to believe God. Carol’s real-life story will …
March 16, 2018 When evil attacks, our soul wants to shrink in pain, our heart shatters and our mind fills with gloom. Unless we run to God’s promises for refuge. We need His protection because often as unexpected as rain on a sunny day, adversity pours. And when it does, we’re stunned at the reason …
