Almost a year ago to the day, I submitted a post titled “Saw God in Family Fun Day”. As I stated then, this day benefits a wonderful charity, Angels’ Place. Their mission statement sums up what this charity is all about:
“Angels’ Place provides people-centered services, including homes and professional support, for adults with developmental disabilities.

My husband and I are enjoying a series of free concerts in the park near our home this summer. We love seeing our little girl light up and shyly start to dance when the music starts.

I have seen God so many times. I’m amazed when I look out my
window and watch the clouds or when I see a mama bird teach

My 4 year old made me a Mother’s Day present at school this week. It was a herculean effort on her part to not spill the beans prematurely. All week she kept talking about the “special surprise” she had for me. She kept dropping clues such as what color it was, what shape it was [...]
A man found two grizzly cubs with their dead mother in Alaska. One cub survived and he managed to raise it to maturity. You can see how his family interacted with the bear as it matured. Look at the size he has grown to. The bear must feel he’s another human. Notice the honored guest [...]
