The Power of Family

Published on May 10, 2011 By Administrator

Last week, I picked blueberries. It was the same field I picked blueberries from last year with some of my grandchildren. As I walked through the field, a flood of memories filled my heart. I saw my little grandson who had to be carried and held some of the time as he picked. I remembered [...]

“Love is Spelled T-I-M-E!”

Published on January 11, 2011 By Administrator

One of the things I love about being a mother is to have my children or grandchildren call me just to say, “I was reading this story (or scripture or poem…) and I thought of you.” This morning, a daughter called to share a story. She gave me the name of the story and the [...]

One of the most amazing things about being a grandmother is to hear stories about your grandchildren. I received one of those calls recently. My 3-year-old grandson had a long Saturday, lots of things happening with his parents and he was busy in activities all his own. When they drove back into their driveway at [...]

I have always wanted to be a mother. Let me say that again. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother and now a grandmother. There is nothing that brings more joy into my life than to be with my family! Last weekend, I was able to take care of my youngest grandbaby. He was [...]

Love Feels Great!

I love being a grandmother. Today my 18 month old grandson called. Let me tell you the story. This morning, he had to have a medical test. When his mom and dad dropped by the office, I went outside to see him and he was sleeping peacefully, so I didn’t disturb him. I later called his dad [...]

I was at the office today and received a phone call from my daughter inquiring if there were clients waiting.  There were none, so she sent her twins into the office to say “hello.”  I was so happy to see them.  (I was out of town last weekend and have missed seeing my family.) The [...]
