Happy Homemaker Monday

Click here to return to our hostess, Sandra!

The weather outside is::::

Super cold...and we have 15 inches of fresh snow on the ground, but the sun is shining!

On the breakfast plate this morning::::

I am enjoying my coffee as I type.. fruited yogurt to come!

As I look outside my window:::

Poor hubs.. he will be shovelling pretty soon!!!

Right now I am::::

I am sitting by a portable ceramic heater listening to dear hubs prepare the fruit, while we are both listening to Glenn Beck tell a sweet Christmas blessing story on the radio...

As I look around the house::::

I am happy to relate that the Christmas card mess is gone from the dining room table...

On today's to do list::::

I need to work on Community Bible Study work.. even though I cannot go to the study tomorrow because of an appt... I do not wish to get too far behind on my homework..We are doing Isaiah chapter 38-39 the topic is Prophecy and History part I.. Sounds like a section I can not skip... because for the nest week we will be doing part 2 .... much to do, I fear...but I do love it so ... we have been so busy this last week that I didn't have time to work on the homework..we had multiple hours of practice for our church Christmas choral program..

I believe it was a great blessing.. I know it was for us to sing!!!

Then yesterday was such a wonderful day to rest and enjoy the glory of the snow and the warmth of the fireside!!!

Today it is back to business... we need to vacuum and dust the house top to bottom... and I have a roast that needs cooking.... We shopped for some good food to see us through the blizzard heehehe!! Then I must be sure to get all my eye drops today because early tomorrow I report to the eye center for my cataract/glaucoma/ astigmatism corrective surgery on my left eye. I surely will not be too interested in doing much after that... a bit of roast beef and veggies will taste very good after getting out in extreme cold temps!!

BTW...pray the snow covered roads will be cleared and dry by this afternoon!!!

Currently reading::::

Bible~Isaiah for various Bible studies I am doing. Oracles of Grace book by Wanda Alger...highly recommended!!

On the TV ::::

Prayers:::

The President and his family, and the administration, Pray for godly wisdom to flow as they make difficult decisions in the current climate of our country.. that the word "impeachment" will evaporate from the political scene

Pray that all the scandals and investigations will finally be resolved and justice meted out on both sides of the aisle.

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 the electorate will fall off 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. Also, the many who are turning to cults like witchcraft in order to wreak havoc over our nation.

Pray against division and the hatred that is spewed forth by the media, and academia.

Please, God, take back our institutions of higher learning

Pray for the sick that they might be healed

Pray for the many Americans in their loss and devastation from the storms...and fires. 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 our service men and women overseas who put their life on the line everyday to protect our freedoms.

And I pray that the illegal aliens who attempting to invade our nation, will be fully turned back, May they not be allowed to cross into our nation, for their purposes are not righteous and we pray a hedge of protection around our borders. May those dispersed peoples be protected as they return to their homes and seek legal means for immigration
