Happy New Year everyone and may the Lord richly bless us all!
This has been a very odd January so far.. the temps have been so mild. I am pleased, though we have gotten a bit of rain which since there has been some wind.. at least we aren't too dry!!
*We arrived back form the Boston area just before last weekend.. and God was so good.. We had prayed ardently for a safe and non eventful trip driving and He answered our prayer magnificently. When you travel 1500 miles you expect some bit of chaos, especially with all that traffic on the roads, but we had a lovely drive coming and going.
* We spent the night coming and going at the Inn at Westwynd Farm in Hershey. We have stayed there at least a dozen times and they are truly wonderful!
The Inn is a working Horse farm!
There are three gathering rooms around the inn.. so cosy and inviting!
*We were glad to get home in time for church on Sunday.. The previous pastor of our church who does mission work in Romania spoke Sunday and wow did he ever have a dynamic sermon!
His talk was entitled
Repair the altar of our hearts so the fire of God can come !
And He was on fire for the lord.I loved it!!!
*It was wonderful to see our dear friends, David and Gerri. They have been our best friends for about 15 years and God blessed these years with them. We are all going to the same church and we meet after Church to decide where to meet for lunch. A Our tastes run along with Chinese, Mexican, seafood and deli.. We try to take turns choosing but like many other groups I am in no one ever really wants to make the decision so I usually do. It isn't too hard because my husband is whispering Chinese in my ear,. but I do try to make it around the circuit to keep everyone happy!
*This week has gone by so fast, I can barely think what happened when.. basically not much. I am proud of myself for making some homemade soup two different nights. I Looked in the fridge and saw cabbage, onion, carrots and celery and thought of my mother. She loved to dish out delicious cabbage soup and I know Lynn would love it so much after all the fancy food of the holidays. It was such a hit that I made it two nights! Now I have let the cat out of the bag and will have to be creating more home made soups for dearest! But I really enjoyed doing it!!
i just LOVE making homemade soups. I have some listed on my blog if you'd like to copy and print. You can find them on the right side bar under the "faithfixes dinner" label. Feel free!
ReplyDeleteLove that sermon title!! and i loved your write up about the bridge at the top of the blog.
glad you had an uneventful to and from Boston.....our most fave city (our oldest girl went to Gordon College on the north shore of Boston and my husband is from Plymouth County/south shore). we go to boston often!! We love it far better than NYC.
That inn in Hershey is stunning!!
HAPPY WEEKEND
I'm glad your travelling was uneventful. That Inn looks a lovely place to stay. Homemade soup is the best. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat Inn looks really nice. Glad you had a nice time away from home. I love home made soups when the weather is cold. I didn't know how much I liked cabbage. My husband fried some with onion and it was so good. Now I want an egg roll!
ReplyDeleteThat inn looks like a lovely place to stay.
ReplyDeleteHomemade soup. Oh yes! I love making soups. I think my favorite is minestrone.
Thankful with you that your drive was uneventful.
Happy Weekend to you!
Your choice of eating venue made me laugh, because it so would be my hubby whispering "Chinese" in my ear too. It is his favorite. The inn looks like a lovely place. Praise God for the uneventful drive. Driving those long distances has gotten more nerve wracking for me as I've gotten older.
ReplyDeletePraise God for safe travels with no issues, especially after so long a way. The inn sounds lovely. I love homemade soups, especially in winter. How fun to have such good friends nearby. I like all those choices, so I'd be happy eating at any of them.
