Memoriam

As church began this morning, I glanced over at my mother. She was scribbling some numbers on her bulletin, I looked at her quizzically. She looked up and murmured "Dad would have been 92 today."



The brother got married a few weeks ago. It was a lovely celebration of love and family.
Both these poignant moments reminded me that memories are blessings. . .
  • Grampy assisting with our math homework during Thanksgiving break.
  • Picking strawberries (into our mouths) with the cousins.
  • Cardboard sledding.
  • After dinner conversation-not the content but the company.

Today I am thankful for the memories I have and the memories I'm making.

October


Looking up my street.  

  • Today's high was 46 degrees and it is supposed to get down to 26 degrees tonight.
  • I wore a sweater & a coat to work today (I could have easily worn gloves too.)
  • I've had my heat on for three days straight.
  • I'm getting ready to make some soup & tea for supper.
...winter is marching toward us!
 
 
You have established all the boundaries of the earth;
You have made summer and winter.

Psalm 74:17
