About Me
- Mocha with Linda
- I'm in my "fabulous fifties" and my husband and I have been married 25 years. We have a son and a daughter who are both in college. so we are reluctantly entering the empty-nest years. I was an RN in my former (pre-kids) life which comes in handy as I serve in our church's care ministry. Chatting over a cup of coffee with a friend to encourage and support one another (and share a laugh or even a tear) is one of my favorite things to do.
You're right! That's a "catch-in-your-heart" clip! Hope your family is doing well (brother-in-law, too).

That gave me a literal pain in my chest and knot in my throat. Why am I so impatient with my parents? Did I yell at my kids when they asked something over and over? I don't know the answer to either question, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat was so good and very sobering!
ReplyDeletePowerful reminder! POWERFUL reminder of what really matters. May we all slow down and love one another as Christ commanded us to do.
ReplyDeleteStill wiping tears....
Wonderful, Linda--thank you for sharing this. Patience is part of love, and slowing things down (seeing through another's eyes) often times opens us up to unexpected joy.
ReplyDeleteGood reminder of how we should act!
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeleteThat is both sweet & sad. God grant me the patience I need in both situations.
