Happy Homemaker Monday


Welcome to Happy Homemaker



by Sandra!

What is your weather:::
Even though the temps are very moderate, the days are rather drear!


How I am feeling this morning~
Well, this is week  1 of our very strange  coronavirus life changes.  I spent my day trying to be  uplifted by looking online for at home activities for my daughter to spend  learning time with her  youngsters.

On my mind~
I am coming to grips with the fact that  isnt so much a politically motivated   control  command on our lives, but is  truly motivated by a deep concern for the population to  be  self directed to  do the right thing in   staying at home to quell the spread of  this virus,  that does have  detrimental consequences  for 
the elderly and those with extenuating health  issues... I, myself, have diabetes, so I am  determined to  follow the health mandates.. and make the most of the  time at home  making wise choices in how I spend my time!

Also, studying the book of Judges.

Looking around the house~
Springiness of blue and yellow!!!




Chore I'm not looking forward to today or this week~
We need to start getting things together for a huge yard sale at our church.. We want to get rid of a ton of stuff!

To relax this week, I will~
Begin reading a new book I got for Christmas.. but first I need to  find it.. It is up  on the bookcase in the guest room!  haha!


On my prayer list~

Our president for protection, wisdom, courage, strength of body, clarity 

For our government for transparency, truth, justice, and doing the jobs they were sent to do! Guide them in the continuing desicions  they need to make to protect the country and  our economy.

For this coronavirus to stop  in its tracks and not spread any more...  Lord, protect the elderly and those  in compromised health situations. Protect the health providers and the families where  the virus sufferers. 

Thank you for the front line folks who are helping to stem the tide of the virus.   Medical staff,  ENt's,  janitors,  custodians,  food providers and  servers,    any who are    on the front lines  who face off with the virus  on a daily basis!  Protect them, Father!

For those I know and don't know who are suffering with debilitating and worse conditions and sicknesses.. for healing, strength, perseverance, find the joy in their suffering.. especially my dear friend, Jan, who is finishing her chemo treatments which have been so hard, but now faces radiation! 

For the mess in our General Assembly to get straightened out.. peacefully and with godly wisdom 

The lost in these divers places 

For God's mercy to hover over the earth and give people rest and the forbearance to continue to persevere in their trials and testings!

  1. That Psalm is my very favourite, it is actually tattooed inside my left wrist (P91:11), it is my mantra in times of stress or despair, I find it comforts me. I hope you have a great week!

  4. I always enjoy seeing your spring decor. Love the daffodils! Certainly thinking of those staying in with young kids, hope you found some great resources for your daughter. A local news anchor here is doing a story-time/craft project every day at 2. Praying you and your family stay healthy and safe.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
