♥♥From the camera♥

I love this collage from a year ago... it shows  some late summer photos  from

2020     with my  dear family.  But I  love the photo of  Wee One  seeing big sister  

off to  first grade. This year they  were  both off to school Wee One in Kindergarten

 and  Big Sis off to second grade.  Both of them will be  in French Immersion school. 

In other words every word spoken in class will be French.   

♥Looking Around the house ❤️ 

Things just need a general pick up and perhaps a swiffer mop.  I plan to do a little redo 

in the dining room this week.

♥♥What am I listening to♥♥
I am listening to  the soundtrack to Brave Heart on the Bear McCreary station on Pandora.

 Bear McCreary is the composer for the series  Outlander.



♥♥Something I want to share♥♥ 

One of the vlogs I love is Faith and Flour posted by a lovely Christian housewife who

 shares her tips for keeping the household for her family.  She shared this recipe this week!

I like this recipe because it looks easy, and uses fresh unprocessed foods which follows the 

Skinnytaste diet I am trying to follow.  I found it is the current Woman’s World periodical at the 

grocer last week.   A great free app on your phone at skinnytaste.org will give scads of recipes using

 unprocessed foods.  This diet is  approved by many health orgs.   for  losing   a good amount of 

weight.  

♥♥Devotional, inspirational, prayer list or Bible verse♥♥

I was listening to pastor Allen Jackson lately and he is really in touch with  
what is happening in the spirit realm which heavily influences what is hap-
pening on earth. I highly recommend if you do not follow him, to listen to
his very timely teaching. I just love his very pertinent teaching. No not
the country singer..

Lately, as we consider the demise of our nation, the eradication of statues,
and history, the voting debacle, the attack on families, churches, Christians,
and the Constitution, we realize just how concerted the enemy has been over
the decades to bring us to this point.
This is not something that just came upon us, but has been brewing for 
decades. I believe it really began in the early 20th century with some in-
nocuous moves of various liberal presidents. These things were packaged 
to look innocent, but really were setting a foundation for future actions that

 systematically eroded cultural mores to bring us to where we are today. 

Unfortunately, as the erosion took place, the church was silent, ( the 60's 
with prayer out of school, and abortion)and the church continues to stick
her head in the sand and allow the entities that are to push their 
ungodly agenda on the nation. God has a solution, but it all begins with the
church. Christians need to seek God's face, and learn to know His will
for them. When I began doing this I could hear the Holy Spirit tell me to

 starta prayer ministry in our small church. I was faithful, an obedient 

servant to do this to the best of my ability starting in June. We started 

with 5 faithful pray-ers. This week we had 7 pray-ers.. which is signifi-

cant as our church only has about 35 attending members. I praise God

 for His faithfulness and look forward to what He will do with our small

 group!. Pray that you might be a faithful and obedient servant and 

willingly attend to what the lord is speaking into your Spirit!.

New: The call for prayer apparently doesn't last very long. Granted one 
person who had been meeting with was is out of town and another went 
back to school. But we were just the two of us this morning. even though
we have never experienced anything like what is going on now, the 

prayer warriors are few between. I don't know what to do to get people 

to come out to pray! I only leave that in His hands. But is is very discon-

certing!!

Prayer:
Crisis in Afghanistan and the Middle East, influx of illegals into our 

nation,crisis in Haiti, and everywhere that persecution is taking place...
Our government leaders to seek God, and for the fear of the Lord to

 spread among all people.
For healing of the sick, salvation of the lost, deliverance for the hurting,  
Personal: situations, Prodigal children to return to their roots and be 
spiritually healed, Churches to arise, against ungodly moves of govern-

mentto infringe on godly practices... protect our children from the un-

godly teachings and protect them from ungodly people who wish them

 harm for their own purposes. 
Pray for organizations that are doing good in the communities, Crisis
Pregnancy Centers, Straight Street, Street Ransome, Salvation Army, 
Rescue Missions, etc!
