Our hostess is found here~
The weather:
Cooler in the 60's and 70's but a tad wetter as well. Our sunroom is smelling a bit musty... We don't usually open the windows out there in the summer, yet the seeping rains have caused some thing to get a bit moldy in the cabinets.. yuck.. I sense a hard job on me this week.. I cannot abide must or mold!
Things that make me happy::
My morning coffee....all types of instrumental music.. right now I'm listening to Kevin Kern's station on Pandora.. love it!!! Being able to say finally "It's Autumn!"There are such gorgeous autumn photos on facebook..
Books I'm reading:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Plus some Bible Studies.. on James, Philippians, and Isaiah.
On the blog last week:
I shared on Stacy's page my Weigh In post for the week. It really is an encouragement to read other's stories about their successes and their trials.. along with tips to be an overcomer.
I also really enjoy Friday's Fave Five.. where we get to share our blessings for the week!!!
Shows and Movies:
Hubs and I are still watching Mad Men..Sometimes I actually cry for the lead character... His story is so fraught with anguish and pain... He has learned not to feel in many aspects yet he can be quite loving and a nurturing parent... but then he falls back into the pit of finding "love" in all the wrong places... And we so enjoy reliving the 60's our years of coming to age.. leaving home and going off to college.. But I never knew that the corporate world was quite like this!
Menu Plan:
Monday: Chili
Tuesday: Soup and sandwich
Wednesday :Lasagna
Thursday: Chef salad
Friday: Beef stew
On my To Do List:
laundry, pick up around the house downstairs..
check out what is happening in the sunroom...
choir practice...CBS Bible Study.... study on the book of Philippians for the Woman's Workshop this weekend
In the craft basket:
I am still creating Tasha Tudor Sparrow Nest stationary for my wee ones to share with them at our next visit.. I hope they will take this precious routine seriously.. to build love, respect, and forgiveness between young siblings.
I ordered this vintage set of how to make the miniature envelopes from Etsy..
I am going to Joanne's to buy some decorative card stock this week.. it is on sale
Looking forward to this week:
getting caught up on the Bible studies I've set my mind on.. The Isaiah study is coming along fine.. but there is a notebook of questions on Philippians that I have hardly started and I spoke to one of the Workshop leaders yesterday and she said just really bone up on Philippians so I'm going to work on it as an inductive study with colored pencils and symbols, and take some notes on the main tenets and scriptures... I do wish the most out of the study as I can!
On my mind:
Well, this past month I was dreading the ordeal of the squamous cancer on my nose and going through the MOHS and reconstructive surgery... I came thorugh that swimminly and should by now have learned that these realities of life ar not the end of and things to get so worked up over... God is faithful! Now October is ful of eye issues.. I start out with constultations with a glaucoma specialist who will tet me every which way,, then proceed to do double cataract/ glaucoma procedures on both eyes I presume different settings. Everyone tells me cataract surgeries are a cinch. So I'm going with their assessment and determined not to get worked up about this!! I really am thankful we have doctors who can fix these issues as we grow older...
Prayer Requests:
The President and his family, and the administration
Pray that all the scandals and investigations will finally be resolved and justice meted out.
That the what I believe to be false accusations against Kavanagh will be determined political attacks and that that party will stopping stooping so low causing political ruinto their opposition.
For the God's best person be quickly voted into the Supreme Court position
Pray that the scales that delude so many will fall off the many and that they will find peace, truth, and salvation
Pray against division and the hatred that runs rampant
Pray for the sick that they might be healed
Pray for the the Carolinians in their loss and devastation... Help them to be thankful for what they do have..their lives... for those who lost loved ones, we pray for the Lord to comfort and supply all their needs
We pray for compassion and mercy to reign among God's people to serve, help, and provide for those who need so much,, showing the love of Christ to the world
Pray for the lost who are bewildered and strained to the max... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior!
