Our hostess is found here~
The weather:
Today the high is 80 and cooler each day to come..really cool by the weekend... I love sweater weather...
Trees are beginning to turn!
Things that make me happy::
Always my morning coffee.... watching Netflix episodes with Hubs, sleeping with the bedroom windows open enjoying the cool night air, face time with our girls, going to lunch with girl friends.
Books I'm reading:
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.. not the Civil War story, but the British one...
Plus some Bible Studies.. on Hebrews, and Isaiah.
On the blog last week:
Thankful Thursday where God's gifts were recounted for the week..
Shows and Movies:
Poldark
Last night I tried hard to find something appealing on Netflix and I came up empty handed! Taking suggestions!
Menu Plan:
Monday: Hot dogs and salad
Tuesday: Soup and sandwich
Wednesday:Chicken pot pie
Thursaday: Chef salad
Friday: take out
On my To Do List:
laundry, CBS Bible Study....keep up with the homework..
go through the game cabinet and put some older ones in the Salvation Army box.. Go through the drawers in the guest room and find things to fill a bag.. clothes I just never wear any more... too many old clothes.. many left over from when I taught school 15 years ago.. Looney Tunes!!!
In the craft basket:
My current on going project.. I will begin creating the decorative envelops perhaps this week,
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..
Still have a couple of books to order and I did the materials last week to create the tiny envelops... I may start this soon.
Today I found some old Christmas cards I had saved from 2012 so I cut the picutres out that would work to decorate Christmas envelops for this project...
Looking forward to this week:
I will enjoy going to Bible Study tomorrow because I got all the questions done... last week I wasn't allowed to speak without having done my homework which is a good rule.. I just don't want it to be me again!
Thursday I will be hosting our SOS prayer group... we worship and pray for about 90 minutes in the morning... it is such a sweet time of fellowship.
Friday by dearest High School friend, Belinda and I are brunching at IHOP...
On my mind:
Our daughter and her husband had a lovely get away last week to New York City.. While he conferenced she was on her own visiting museums and shopping... Living in Boston they are used to the big city, but I, a timid mother, still sometimes feel concerned and am happy for the messages she sends each day... anyway, I can not wait to hear all about their time.. I know they were able to go see Hamilton and My Fair Lady!
The President and his family, and the administration
Prayer for the Kavanaugh family and especially for the children as they attend school.. protect them from slanderous comments and hateful reactions
Pray that all the scandals and investigations will finally be resolved and justice meted out.
Pray that the opposing party members with their hate filled motives and their "end justifies the means" tactics will become so conscience ridden they will turn to the light and make a personal stand for what their believe in their heart and not be led by their wicked party leadership
For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment
Pray that the scales that delude so many will fall off the many and that they will find peace, truth, and salvation
Pray against ignorance, self indulgence, and gratification of our youth and young adults who do not think on their own, do not know the history of our nation and many cannot even name a book, but are so easily led into a mob rule mentality by wicked people.
Pray against division and the hatred that is spewed forth by the media, academia, including I understand now every law school in the country..
Please God take back our institutions of higher learning
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
Protect lives and properties in the wake of Hurricane Michael.
Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior!
