I am glad it will be clear and a rather normal January week this week. We do have some places we need to be!
On my mind
Truthfully, my mind has been pretty much consumed the last few days on the summer plan we are making with our daughter’s family to go to Scotland. The kids sprang this on us over Christmas. We are so thrilled to be going together on this trip and the planning is so much fun. For example we just learned of a highland games being held on the second to last day of our trip very near Glasgow where we will need to be at that time so that will truly be a highlight of our trip!
On the breakfast plate
Coffee, and Yogurt
On my reading pile
Exodus chapter 4: I have a couple of shelves of one of my favorite authors time travel books.n. Lynn Kurland writes the most exciting and engaging historical romance books. The series of her’s I enjoy the most are the medieval books about the McLeon clan from the Isle of Skye. I think I will pull those out for a reread and may even share them with Amanda.
On my tv
I am missing the Hallmark Christmas movies, but I am finding mor3 time to do other things. But I did rediscover hgtv network again. I enjoy watching YouTube gardening vlogs with P.Allen Smith.
Interesting youtube vlog I saw this week:
Allen Smith’s farm in Arkansas is absolutely amazing!
Looking around the house
Everything is still looking wintry and even a couple of Christmassy things still around but I love it!! I look out the window and the snow continues to lie there for over a week.. due to the cold... so why not enjoy winter.. sit by the fire, listen to some relaxing music and drip cups of tea, and even bake something wonderful to serve along side that tea!
On my to-do list
- Devotions and Bible reading
- Go to my doctor’s appointment
- (My wonderful doctor called to tell me I didn't need to come in. my report of my scan was so good , that having the g b out at this time was not necessary and this will be my last endoscopy coming up next week!) The goal was always to try not to have to have the gall bladder out,. Goal achieved!
- Get my hair cut
- Allergy shot
- Bible study class
To relax I will:
Listen to music, Bible Study, vlogs, work on my Christian planner.. create some lovely vignettes for scripture on the pages
Prayer and devotional :
Prayer about the influx of illegals into our nation, and the possible spread of disease and covid.. Father, we rebuke the spread of covid and its attaching deviants.. We say no more and we also pray that these diseases will calm down and that they will not be so disruptive to the body. that our bodies will fight them off effectively and without devastating consequences.. we say enough to covid! In Jesus name!!
We pray for the places everywhere that persecution is taking place...
For healing of the sick,
salvation of the lost,
deliverance for the hurting,
the supply, food, and building shortage problem: may it not become
a huge crisis
Churches to arise and pastors to preach according to our times and
these days.. very vital! For the churches to repent and get straight
before a holy God. We have become too lax in our Christianity and
we need to be more persistent to seeking God and His Word!
Protect our children from the ungodly teachings and protect them
from ungodly people who wish them harm for their own purposes.
Especially for people to turn or return to God. Only He can
save.. There is no other way to God except through the shed blood
of His Son!

What a wonderful thing to look forward too... a trip to Scotland!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
Glad you had a good report from the scan! How fun to be planning a trip to Scotland. We have had lots of cold here without snow, makes it a little harder to enjoy the winter though we've had some great 50 degree days as well so not too much complaint. Hope you have a great rest of your week!
