The Power of the Kindess of Strangers
Recently, one of my daughters arrived at school. She moved into her apartment, where despite everyone’s preparation, the electricity was turned off. It took more than two days to get power to the apartment. The apartment is near the university she attends and she wasn’t sure what to do. Spending 2 days without power is [...]
The Power of One Person
There are many people who touch our lives. Some make lasting impressions upon us, whether good or bad. Some we only see for a moment, but we will never be the same because of the kindness and generosity of this person. I have been thinking about this recently and wondering how my life may have [...]
To sleep, perchance to dream…
I had a dream last week…not like Martin Luther King, Jr., but a dream nonetheless. In my dream, I was looking at costumes from a street vendor. Several racks placed around the edge of a cul-de-sac type street boasted various costumes in myriad fabrics which caught my eye. As I pulled one costume from a [...]
Heart to Heart
I have felt REALLY blessed over the past few days! I have felt like people beyond myself were in-tune with my life and the feelings I was feeling. I felt great love from others in the form of time, phone calls, food dropped off (the muffins were YUMMY, Michelle!), and even from people in the grocery [...]
Gifts of Love
We have a friend who said that our family is experiencing the hardest time in our lives. I know others who have as great challenges as we have and some who are experiencing greater challenges right now. We reached the point, long ago, when I thought we had all that we could bear. Still things [...]
Smile!
Stephanie, our guest blogger today, is always ready to share her kind thoughts with those around her. She is a devoted mother and woman of great faith. She recently took up working with stained glass, and her quiet kindnesses speak volumes of her character. Enjoy! It is the little things in life that help us [...]
That’s What Friends Are For
There is a song that says “that’s what friends are for” and I have been thinking a lot lately about the importance of friends in our lives. We have social networks like Facebook (by the way the mpowergen.com has 200-fans Hurray!) to help keep us connected and to open the door to re-connecting with friends [...]
You Are My Heroes
Oh well… (I borrowed this phrase from a very dear friend of mine), I am posting my blog contribution a day late again. Our family has been under siege, as of late, and I promise, promise, promise that after we get through this, things will get better (this phrase is for my sister) and I [...]
Do You Hear…or Listen?
Sometimes, in all the noise of my life and the world around me, I hear varied sounds–a capella singing, impromptu piano pieces, languish and laughter, television banter, lightsabers bouncing, and conversations here and there. Since we replaced the carpet in our family room with Pergo recently, I have noticed the level of noise that I [...]
Love
In a Morrison’s Cafeteria in South Carolina, there was a sign that read: “Love is something so divine, Description would make it but less. ‘Tis what I feel, but can’t define. ‘Tis what I know, but can’t express.” The author is unknown to me. I loved it so much, though, that I had it quoted [...]
