Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and a blessed week ahead. Let's get started with our Happy Homemaker Monday !

The Weather:::

Right now our wind chill is -6, 12℉  wind 15 mph
I'm sitting beside a space heater  blowing on me and I'm still feeling cool air around me!

Right now I am: 

Hubs  got up and fixed us some breakfast a little  bit of bacon and  a couple of  Eggo waffles...    lovely piping hot coffee...   I  am  still enjoying the coffee  and working on this post!!!

Bbrrr cold brrrr 

morning!! 

Thinking:
I needed a second cup of coffee to get my brain to thinking... uhm..
well,  this morning I think I shouldn't have gone through face book posts because  everything  mostly just made me mad,,,   then I  decided to  visit some  special  people... I found this one  taken over   Jerusalem...  amazing!!  

And I'm thinking how marvelously creative and  huge our God is...  That when bad news  fills our day,    He is there  in His majestic glory!!!

On my prayer list:::

The President and his family, and the administration, for protection and godly counsel! I am praying Trump will go ahead and side step Congress with military funding and Corp of Engineers to build the wall  as a matter of national security!

Pray against all division in our nation, that harmony and peace will reign supreme throughout the land.

For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment

Pray against delusion and lies of the enemy, protect the hearts and minds of the young!

Pray that pastors across the nation are renewed and re edified to preach the gospel using the whole counsel of God...  Let no personal kingdom or agenda sidestep the work of the Spirit in the church!

Please, God, take back our institutions of higher learning

Pray for the sick that they might be healed

Pray for the peace and harmony of Jerusalem 

Pray that the light of Christ will shine boldly through His people and everyone is establishing within their own hearts the manner in which to live for Him in 2019

Pray for our service men and women overseas who put their life on the line everyday to protect our freedoms. I lift up particularly my own sweet cousin Josh.... Please add in the comments other names you would like named here!!

Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior!

Pray that our Congress will find a way to work together to protect our borders.. a country without borders ceases to be a nation!
