For Today...March 21, 2016
the weather today....
sunny and promising... a gorgeous , if windy, early spring day!
Outside my window...
The front porch would be inviting if the wind wasnt so fierce!
The tulip poplar tree is blooming against leafless boughs!
A box of pansies await being planted today!
I am thinking...
there is much to do today... Im in the throes of switching out seasonal clothes and gathering a large plastic bag of clothing to donate. Then time to refresh the guest room for a most special guest this week!
I am thankful...
that we did not get any of the horrid weather that was predicted yesterday and last night.... well, except for the gale that blew all night and into the morning!
I am wearing...
my regular pj's and terry wrapper....
I am creating...
an eastery attitude this week... time to mix things up a bit!
the sunroom is well underway!
I am going...
to be attending our Christians United to Pray event this week. We prayer gals have been meeting a couple of times a month for prayer in the prayer room of our church for about 6 years. Then 3 and 1/2 years ago we were retreating for guidance from the Lord and the outworking of that was to take the prayer to the community.. to unite christians around our fair city for prayer especially for our nation... we were taking seriously 2 Chronicles 7:14. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways I will hear from heaven and heal their land. Well, we have been calling the community to prayer now every couple of months ever since.. We meet in the public library meeting room, other churches and this week we will meet in our church.. We have a dedicated number of warriors who come from several denominations and it truly is a blessing .. I challenge other prayer groups to arise across this nation... especially as the most important election of our time is upon us!
I am wondering...
about my precious daughter and grand daughters this morning... They have succumbed to a terrible cold like virus which is most diffiuclt for dearest Doodle Bug who is only 3 months old. it is so horrible to feel so helpless when such a tiny infant is struggling to breathe, swallow, and there seems so little you can do to help! I am anxiously awaiting news this morning .... last night we were simply told to pray for a better night!
On my reading table...
Last week I report that I had reread 7 of Lynn Kurland's wonderful books... during my recuperation of the virus I had endured over the past week weeks. I have now added some others to that count..
I love these books.... for their sweet wholesome romances....
the chivalry and excitement of medieval hsitory... and they are all connected through a couple of family lines which make reading their in succession fun!
I am hoping...
to finally have a firm decision on what food to have for my cousin who is coming this week.. I want to have something springy and fresh and tea party-like but substantial..my creative juices just arent up to the task yet! I'd love a suggestion, or two!
I am learning...
patience.... and it is about time!
No, waiting is a good discipline.... All good things come to those who wait!
In my garden... the pansies are in the box by the back stoop waiting..... to be planted!!! Of course, waiting for the ground to dry out just a bit more!!!
In my kitchen...
Planning meals for mid week.... come ideas, come!
right now I am thinking
a lovely brunch on the porch!
A favorite quote/scripture for today...
2Thessalonians 3: 3-5
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 4 We have confidencein the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
A peek into one of my days...yesterday
I finally got to watch the last of The Hobbit trilogy
I have so enjoyed those wonderful tales of J.R.R. Tolkien~
the "father" of modern fantasy literature
I also absolutely enjoy the acting of Martin Freeman whom I discovered in the wonderful hit series, Sherlock, when he played Dr. Watson... If you havent watched that BBC series that is still in production, yet we are waiting for winter of 2017 for the enxt installment! BAh Humbug!!! Check it out at your public library or watch it on netflix!
One of my favorite things...
One of my favorite things...
time spent on facetime with my precious girls!
Actually, I couldnt bare our long distance without facetime!!!
Love all your Eastery decorations. Modern technology is one of my favorite things and Facetime ranks high on the list. Have a simply wonderful week.
