Friday Foto Friends

Happy chilly Friday...

Today I am joining Debbie at Friday Foto Friends.

1.We are due to receive 6 or more inches of snow this weekend...  so imagine  my thrill  to get our new gas logs installed this morning.

Our  fireplace in our  70 year old home is  small so finding    a set that would fit  was   not easy, it took us over a year to actually  find the logs  and to have them installed now just before  our next  snowfall  is thrilling to me!!!

2.  Yesterday was our  monthly SOS prayer group day here  and I never really know how many to expect..  Now I don't usually     anything  but iced water,  but  the wind was howling and  it was bitter so, so I brewed a pot of apple cinnamon tea and served  shortbread cookies..

  well,  the crowd   turned out  so much  we  had to set up more chairs...I  was so blessed...  and I love how  no one wants to leave after our 90 minutes...   the friendship shared  after time spent  before the Lord is  so sweet!!!  On a side note,  this will be the last photo of  our Christmas  setting..  time to bring out the blues!!!!!

3.  I am doing a different Bible reading plan this year...

the Robert Murray M‘Cheyne’s Bible Reading Calendar that I read about in   a special article    between Christmas and New Years,, I can't remember the notable author  but  I do love this  schedule."R.M.M‘Cheyne (1813-1843) was the minister of St Peter’s Church, Dundee, Scotland."

We  read from 4 books each day...  starting out with Genesis, Matthew, Ezra, Acts..  I am using   the You version Bible app  and listen to the scripture and write in my journal at the same time...  it really works for me  because it is  a lot to read  but to finish and have something in my journal as well  is time very well spent!!!  I do recommend    checking out the link  given to read about it!!  It's never too late to start!

4. Another praise  is I  got my prescription glasses since all of my eye surgeries.  I really do not need them  for distance at all,  but  it was so tiresome using readers...I  bought some for every major room in the house and  carried in my purse.. because I couldn't see diddly without them up close..  Well, I had  purchased these glasses  back last spring and paid a mint for them, but loved them because they made me feel young again.. I had  large round tortoiseshell glasses in college  so I really needed to  get and use them once more,   and  truth to tell I am more than 20/20  distance now and  it is  so delightful not to be grabbing for readers everytime I   pick up a book, magazine, ipad,  check a menu, price, size,  or try to rad a medicine bottle...  yaayayayay!!! Life is marvelous!!!!  I'm all bundled up because the  gas heat was off all morning and I  didn't want to get chilled!!!  hehehe

5.  

My Christmas is still up.  But today is the last day  ..  I am going into my blue mood..  January  is  blue to me.. not  melancholy  but  icy blue!!  And that mean blue transfer ware  hehehe!!!
