💚💚How I am feeling💚💚 
 Pretty good this morning! We had an amazing Palm Sunday  yesterday.  The sermon was  awesome.  It was on humility , the same humility Christ showed  during his  ministry and especially his last week! Last night  we  enjoyed  an inspiring  worship service! I absolutely love  Easter music!

💚💚On the breakfast plate💚💚
 Coffee, fruited yogurt,  scrambled egg and English muffin!

💚💚On my reading pile💚💚

 We are studying  the book of Exodus in Church, The Core Group is  studying Ephesians, which I love!!! Lynn and I are doing a read through the Bible in a year  systematic  read .. one selection from both Old and New Testament!I also try to fit a devotional in daily,  I just am not into  fiction these days!!

💚💚On my tv💚💚
Various vlogs , HGTV  programming, and Hallmark movies.  I am enjoying When Calls the Heart.   I  am also watching a lot of YouTube news broadcasts.

💚💚Interesting youtube vlog I saw this week: 💚💚

I absolutely love Garden Answer videos..  This one  I  journalled because I am determined to start a perennial garden  in our back  yard  which is  full sun!  



💚💚What's For Dinner💚💚

Monday  - baked pork chops , mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad
Tuesday- tacos  with all the fixin's
Wednesday- chef salad
Thursday - five guys
Friday- not sure

💚💚Looking around the house💚💚

I need  you to chime in  on this one.
 We were going to paint the den  the antique white of the kitchen and paint the bookcase wall  a  rich  teal color.,  but as I sit in the den and contemplate the  issue  I am leaning toward  painting the walls the same blue  with the teal  accent wall. some folks have said it is good to paint a whole level the same color  but  Hubs as well as others  say  you mean every room on the ground level will be blue  except the kitchen  boring
.. 


So here is the kitchen  with the Antique White  which I like with the  Rolling Pebble which Is also the cabinet color.     below you can see looking into the dining room   with my Era blue  on the walls.  The  hallway seen in both photos  is now  the blue    with  the  off white   trim.


So here is the den...   our last room to redo. the sofa  has been removed and sent to Habitat..  way  too big ! So glad it to get it out!  So this is where we live..  and  it is  not  in  designer shape here  at all.  ahahahah . I even got my finger in the shot  but   you might see  wall paper border around the ceiling that has to be removed.  The shelves have been cleared, praise God!!  What a chore!Lynn has  told me he  will order plantation shutters for this room  so the trim will remain  white.


But the shelves,  window seat,   and rest of that wall which is all wood will be painted  Winter in Paris!

Really  I think  the Era blue walls  would look    calmer than the antique white  walls  with this  accent color!  I would love your   opinion!
The opposite wall is a   gallery wall with  art work and  photos  with rich  deep color and the woods in here are  rich in color!


💚💚On my to-do list💚💚
  • Devotions and Bible reading
  • marketing  
  • Therapy twice this week  
  • Clean and    get the upstairs ready for  our  guests..
  • 💚💚To relax I will:💚💚
Think about  how my  daughter, son in law  and  grands will be with us for Easter.  They are going to church with us and   will be  here  all week splitting time with their other  grand parents!



I mean we have really only been together   about 3 times since the beginning of the pandemic  And they  have grown so much!!!

💚💚Prayer and devotional :💚💚
 I know this is long  but it all so  important!
 Ukraine,   refugees,    those  still  trapped in the country and also taken to filtration camps

Pray for the fear of the Lord to spread  among all people.  
  
Prayer about the influx of illegals into our nation,  as the covid ban on immigration comes to an end, we pray that something can be done to quell the invasion of many at our border seeking entrance. and the possible spread of disease and covid..

Father, we rebuke the spread of covid and its attaching deviants.. even with this last new strain, we pray that it is such a weak one that when it attacks a body it will be more cold like and easily overcome.  InJesus name!!  

 And Father  even as I  had written the above we do thank you for the  apparent  ceasing of mandates and pray that  is due to a dramatic decline in the spread of covid!  May it dissipate completely 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   We say NO to the drear  outlook  some are reporting  about our supply and  the inflation .. may our leaders  make changes  which will stop the  rise in inflation!

I am thinking now if the dire reports from farmers not only here but around the world. With the high cost of fuel farmers struggle to be able to produce as usual, plus fertilizer is scarce. This could create a worldwide food shortage worse than anything we have ever seen because of the huge population ..much more than during the Depression! 

Oh, Father, this is such a dire possibility it truly makes one wonder if we are facing the end of. the end times. You told us in your word in Matthew 24 there would be wars, earthquakes, pestilences, starvation, diseases if many  kinds. Besides that world events centered about Israel are aligned as well. Oh, Father, if the end of the end times is coming upon us, we pray for the lost
We pray for the church to awaken and be about your work in the world to save as many as will be saved according to your will! 

We know that it is satan who comes to rob, steal, and destroy and we, by the power of Jesus name, say STOP NOW,  You may not   have the resources of the people.We also pray for godly wisdom to overtake our leaders  that they will deal with the world circumstances with the USA's best interest in mind.  

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!  Lord, prepare your people to be ever minded  that our work here is to lead others to Christ. Too often  we  fail  to do this,  I pray for  opportunity and   
the will to do your will in Jesus name

  1. Happy Easter to you! The granddaughters are growing up so much - so pretty
    I do like the antique white but am no good at decorating so hoping others will be more helpful than me.

  4. Oh, a backyard full of sun. Lucky you! I'm the opposite with a backyard full of mostly shade, sigh. We do have the same light green throughout our home and it does make it feel bigger and more open. That said, I also love the variety of different colors in different rooms. I'm no help, sorry. Hope you have a wonderful week and a very happy Easter!

Farewell

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