Happy Homemaker Monday

 

Whew! A rather hectic morning.  We were jp early  to take the car to get it inspected!  We weren't too far back in line.. Hopefully we should get it back today!!

Then  we stopped at Krogers to pick a couple of items forgotten off the weekend list!   Today I am[participating in a Meal train for a dear lady in our church who had a hip replacement.  I am making a  delicious chicken Pot pie.. or course, I never made on in my life!!!

Things that make me happy 

When I can do something and it actually turns out well.  The verdict is out on the Pot pie  ~~  I didn't  trim the  top and it started falling off .. I was trying to be  grand like  Ina who just  lets it sit on the side of the dish.  HA!  doesn't work for me!!!  But it looks and tasted really good on the inside!! 

One of my favorite things::

I love  listening to Christmas music while I work   rather wrapping packages or  cooking pot pie..   right now I am listening to  a guitar Christmas..  very  restful!!!

Books I'm reading:

I have sped up my Bible reading  in an effort to finish by years end.. so now I am beginning the book of Joel,,,  one of my favorite books..

I finally got all the girls's books  read,  questions  made up and typed up  on  the cutest  detective  station I created..  and  in envelops with     in the back of each book.  They are wrapped and under the tree!  Whew!!!  I spend my reading time looking for  things to use to create my  biblical posts  for the week days  on here. When I find something wonderful I link the post....  sometimes I get  ideas,  but I never  just cut and paste  someone's work. .. except I do  for scripture!

Shows and Movies

I  enjoy the Halllmark Christmas Movies..  except  one  ..  I am not going political    but  I just refuse to watch it!   So I am watching a bit of GAC  which I am pleased  to find way up in the 300  numbered channels.  346 to be exact.

 ~  Next Monday and Tuesday 

Looking forward to this week:

I love to  dine out with my Prayer sisters. We used to go out for our birthdays,   but  the group  has  broken up to some degree so  we  go our  individually  a couple at a time. Montanos is  one of our  favorite places..

On my mind:

Actually, the weather is always on my mind  this time of year  when it is our turn to drive 700 miles . We do break it up over  2 days because the second part of the trip is  pretty hard..  the traffic  is quite   different from  what we are used to.  So we  definitely want to travel on dry roads.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading

Every year on December 25, we celebrate the birth of Christ which was prophesied about in the Old Testament going all the way back to Abraham. In Genesis 22:18, God promised Abraham that He would bless all the people on earth through Abraham’s descendent. He meant that He would send Jesus into the world as a baby to live a perfect life, speak the Word of God, and die a substitutionary death for people’s sins. This is confirmed by Paul in Galatians 3:16 that the promise was about Jesus Christ and His atoning work on the cross on our behalf. Moses later spoke of Jesus as the ultimate prophet that people must listen to in order to be saved. A successive line of prophets spoke of the coming Messiah, and, of course, Isaiah is the clearest and most comprehensive prophet of Jesus. Isaiah said He would be born of a virgin, be called “God with us”, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace. In Isaiah 53, the prophet said that from the cradle to the grave He would live a life of humility. He would be misunderstood and rejected. He would bear our sorrows and griefs, but by the will of God He would be pierced through for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities. Everything we deserved would fall on Him. All of us have turned away from God and wandered off like lost sheep, but the Lord has caused our iniquity to fall on Jesus. He would be falsely accused and killed, and then be buried in a rich man’s tomb. As Isaiah put it, “He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors.”

There is one man speaking to us from the Bible, one man speaking to our hearts who alone has all the answers to all the important questions—LISTEN TO HIM. Rev.3:20 says that Jesus is knocking on the door of our heart, if anyone hears Him and opens the door, He will come in to them and have a relationship with them.
