Happy Homemaker

Well, it was a great weekend.  On Saturday hubs and I went out and walked the track  and saw a couple of friends   from a distance! Then  Sunday service online was  great...  but Sunday night was the best. we did a zoom  prayer meeting.  We got to see our friends from church and  pray for one another! It surely does making a new week of quarantine much easier to  bear!!

Welcome to Happy Homemaker

What is your weather:::

Man,  did the winds of March howl last night..  even though it had been a hot day the night was  rather  chill. We had the windows open and sometimes the wind really made the shutters clatter!! I'm glad the temps look  more seasonal this week..  I'm not ready for 80's!


How I am feeling this morning~
I am a little  concerned about my new normal.. I have gotten rather caught up watching old tv programs I used to love and  it  gets me  into a late start of my day... I rationalize that I don't watch that much evening tv so watch it , besides, I   really like the programming!  
I'll list below the programs Heehee

On my mind~

I have some more calls to make today..  We were  really encouraged at church to  show love and concern for  others and I am taking that one seriously!

On the breakfast plate~
Hubs made his  delicious coffee and fruited yogurt this  morning.
He is the best!

On my reading pile~

The book of James, in association with an online study of James by Jen Wilken!

Also, studying the book of Judges.


On my TV~
No judging now,  but here‘s the morning programs I have  started watching:
Leave It to Beaver, 
Tales of Wells Fargo
Laramie

Otherwise: When Calls the Heart
Call the Midwife
Youtube vlogs on travel


On the menu this week~

Leftover    Spaghetti
Last week hubs had taken some leftover  pasta chicken out of the freezer and we ate on that for days it seemed....  so I can still do the following
Caesar salad with  chicken tenders
BBq pork loin and cole slaw
Hamburgers on the grill and fries
Fish sandwish po boys and  sweet potato fries

From the camera~

I love facetime with our girls!

Looking around the house~ 
Confession time::
I have been dreading taking care of the guest room where I keep my clothing..  It is a wreck... Clean clothes piled high on the bed...   and things not put away for  probably a month  ...
  partly due to my   sickness and  inability to get around much,  but now it is just that I  dread getting into it!  I figure if I write about  it  I will at least get some of it done this week so I can write about that next time!

Chore I'm not looking forward to today or this week~
see above

To relax this week, I will~
Hopefully, take a book or magazine out on the porch and have a cup of tea!!
That is if the pollen isnt too bad!  

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 decisions  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  is bringing suffering. And Father, speak to the hearts of those who refuse to take this seriously and refuse to

stay home.. Not counting the many who necessarily must be out and about..  but those who in rebellion choose  not to...  They are  not only putting others at risk, but are prolonging the  time of the virus! I pray thst this week we will begin to see a decline in the numbers.
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,   truck drivers who are     tirelessly trying to g et supplies to those who need them.. 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 now daily must brave going into the hospital everyday alone (without her husband) for radiation.  how daunting to be so compromised yet must  do this daily for the next 45 days!

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! 

Devotional/Bible Verse~
I saw this on facebook and thought it was very uplifting

if you copy and paste it it will play...  words cannot adequtely describe    this.. many  folks who have seen it like myself  have  cried over it!!  Good tears!

  1. Hope the pollen cooperates you can be outside on your porch. Something about being able to just go outside makes such a big difference. And seeing other people (even from a distance). Great prayer. Have a wonderful week!

  3. I love your positive attitude. Doesn't knowing He is sovereign and in charge make it possible to be joyful in whatever? Yes, it takes a mind stayed on Him and the Word, the joy of the LORD is our strength. I liked how you typed your prayers.

Farewell

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