Convenient

It is 5 minute Friday again.  Fridays come quick, but not as quick as Mondays :) I think the word convenient is quite convenient to be the word for this week due to what happened in New York this week.  And, how convenient that it was right after the Sanctity of Life Sunday and the March for Life in Washington. Is anything other than fun, ever convenient? And actually, sometimes, if you are a workaholic planning fun is not convenient either. I am beginning, well I began about 3-4 years ago caring for my aging parents.  I found from the very beginning it is and was never convenient.  I also learned I like a plan in my day and old people and babies are pretty hard to plan.  Please don't take offense to the word "old people."  As I sat in church in Sunday, and listened and watched all the years of people representing the length of time we have stood for life, it hit me.  If you don't have power or a voice you don't have a choice.  That may be convenient for som

Better?

Hello Friday!  2019 Linking up with Kate Motang for 5 minute Friday. The word this week is better and the timer begins now... ...What does the word better mean to me? When words enter my mind, the first thing I do is grab the first thing that comes into my mind, and today the first thing was, "a better high priest".  Deep? Yes I know.  What does the word better mean to others?  What is the first thing that comes to mind for you? I want to be better at math might be a thought from a elementary student that struggles with math facts. I want to be a better Mom might be a thought from a Mom who lost her patience with her toddler, or teen yesterday. I want to a better friend to someone who forgot to keep an appointment that was scheduled just days ago with a hurting friend. I want to be better at_______________ I believe there will be 1,000 things that each of us can fill in that blank with and the next question is why do I want to be better ? Thankful
