Tuesday 4~~Moving
Moving
Hosted by Annie!
Welcome to Tuesday 4 kept up in memory of our friend Toni Taddeo who began it
several years ago. She would be so pleased to see people keeping up with it!
Let's talk about moving today.
1. How far away are you from where you grew up? We moved across town to an
older and better establish area when we moved into this home. Hubs and I had lived
in Germany after college and so coming home we were content to stay!
2. Families sometimes move all over the country.Do you feel that a family should
try to stay close together? When our daughter and son-in-law decided to move to
New England after college, (7 states away) my heart was broken. It just
wasn't our tradition..Up until then families had stayed pretty close together!
3. How many times have you moved in your life and would you like to share
when and where you moved? As I said we lived inLampertheim, Germany,
a village outside of Mannheim, while Hubs finished his tour of duty. Then we
bought a homerather close to where I grew up, but more importantly between
our two work locations. When out daughter was school age, we moved here
to this home mainly to be closer to the school we desired for her to attend.
4. What brought you to where you are living now and are you happy there?
We are very happy here. It is close to everything we love, and I love the style
of our home. My only wish is that we ahd a bedroom on the main level. Stairs
are becoming a sort of an issue!

Praise
“Sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.”
Psalm 96:1-2

Wednesday Hodge Podge

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on Ash Wednesday which signals the beginning of Lent. Do you mark this season in some way? If so tell us more. Did you grow up 'celebrating' Lent? Is attending church part of your weekly routine? Are churches open for in-person worship where you live? I have never really celebrated Lent. I understand the principle and it is a good one I suppose, but it doesnt seem to follow the scriptures in any specific way.. I mean I fast in prayer at times, but I dont see a reason to do it at a prescribed dictate of the calendar. Attending church is another thing. : Sunday is the day of the Lord and we spend that time in church,.. Just as soon as the doors opened back in the early fall, we were anxious to get back to being in church with our friends. Our church is small and the seats are cordoned off to allow for distancing and because many havent returned but are comfortable watching online, we are easily spread very thinly around out church. We only have about 10 out of about 50 in attendance any week... We stay for small group discussion, and return Sunday night for our fabulous Apologetics class. Our pastor is a Doctor of Theology and teaches at Liberty University. We are fortunate to benefit from his teachings in our Sunday night gatherings!
We do have person to person meetings on Sunday morning, and Wednesday evening when only about 10 come out. Otherwise, we also have zoom meeting opportunities and youtube video for all of our meetings for those who stay at home.
2. When is the last time you sat beside a 'real' fire? Do you have a fireplace in your home? Wood or gas logs? Favorite thing cooked over a fire? We used to have a regular fireplace that burned wood, but I could only ignite a 'fire' under hubs to give me a real fire once a year at Christmas.. I longed for gas logs, and I finally got it a couple of years ago. Nothing suits me better than clicking the remote and having a real flame offering warmth that replaces the chill we sometimes have in our drafty house.. We have radiator gas heat and it is warm if your sitting by the radiator, but they a re always under the window and even with storm windows it just seems drafty in this 90 year old house. I love to sit by the fire , with my feet up on the hassock, and read or study.. I love listening to music and sometimes just drift off into a cosy snooze!

All About Love!!!!
1. Something little you are loving right now?
3. What's something you currently have your heart set on doing-going-seeing-or experiencing? I am so looking forward to traveling to Massachusetts to see our girls... after the threat of co-vid is past!
4. Who would you most like to have a heart to heart with right now? Is that possible? There is a guy who lives in the UK whom I have been sharing the gospel to and trying to get him to open up about his where he is in the process... he is interested and keeps the matter open, but all I am getting these days is monosyllables. KInd of ahrd to having meaningful conversation over messenger. I am praying for a lot!
5. Write an acrostic for the word L-O-V-E.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Tonight we are zooming a business meeting at our church... We both are now on our respective committees, so one never knows when one may be asked to share from our perspective.. there is much going on even with this covid situation... both with the property and missions!

Tuesday 4! Valentine's Day
Welcome to Tuesday 4. I am sure Toni would be so pleased you are here.
Hosted by Annie!
Let's talk about St. Valentine's Day.
2. Do you or did you send Valentines to people? I like to send Jacquie Lawson online greetings to friends and family.
3. Do you find Valentine's Day to be romantic? I do. Hubs always take us to dinner somewhere special, but not on Valentine’s Day.. we find the menu is too limited. He always sends me roses!
4. Do you do anything special for Valentine's Day with partners or family? I think I partly answered this! I am sending valentines to our grands and daughter, plus a lovely box of candy to share!
Happy Valentine's Day folks.

Winter has arrived and it will be coming more and bitterly cold as the
week wears on!
♥♥On my mind♥♥
I am on the Missions Committee at our church and our group met at Sam's and using budgetted and donated monies we were able to provide over $500.00 worth of food to a Children's mission in our inner city and $150.00 worth of diapers and wipes to our Straight Street ministry. What a blessing.!
