Friday Fave Five

WWelelcWWelcome to FFF!  Hosted by Susanne!

Is it  me or  do you think  time is speeding up significantly?

I cannot keep up!!!

But one  wonderful thing I can say about  time.. I believe we are just  coming to the end of  the extreme  heat!    Hurrah!!!

Today it climbed to 89  with  rain  ,  but  it will be  just in the mid to low 80's for the next  couple of weeks!!!

Sunday,  we  enjoyed  our   Sunday School class   even though  it was  sort of chilly in there.  But the   auditorium  was  fridgid.  I couldn't stand it so we  left  came home and   watched  the service on  Youtube! Then we still met up with our dear  friends  at the Mexican restaurant for lunch. Altogether  Sunday

 was a lovely day!

Monday  we  got to  go to a cookout  at our dear  friends home.  There were 6 of us there and  as usual,  we had a wonderful time.  I prepared a fruit heavy  tossed salad paired with  reduced ft  Wheat thins. Our   hostess made  delicious  sugar free   banana pudding.   of course   there was the usual food as well,  I did eat a bare  hot dog  spread with mustard..  I really enjoyed it!!!

Tuesday, I had a hearing test     which  was very interesting.  Yes,  my hearing loss is  mimld to moderate..   but nothing that   warrants any devices  as of yet. I  asked quite a  few questions about my ringing ears..I found out  the brain does  mimic   sounds it hears  which causes the ringing..  One thing  she said would be helpful would be to  use a noise machine at night   . I do  usually go to sleep with the tv on.. which I dont mind at all.  But Hubs thinks a  noise machine would irritate him!

  We prayer sisters met t a friends home for coffee and to  discuss  things a bout  what we  hoped to  achieve..  We hadn't met  for prayer   since  well before covid  and   over time  things had  happened to each of us..  some great some bad,, So  it was  a great time to catch up!  We start ur prayer   ministry  next week.. We will meet every two weeks to pray together for  our community,  state and nation!

Wednesday, is our usually  Bible Study day.  We finished up the book of Malachi.  Wow,    that book is amazing.  The last book of the Old Testament.   it  not only   spoke    about the  priests  of the   OT and how   bad they had become , but also spoke  of the church of the future.. actually  in the last days  where  the priests..    the Christians..  (We are a royal priesthood)  had become   complacent..  as  in a lot of cases the church is today.  and How    Christians  need to  be the living witness for  the Lord Jesus Christ.  I know I need to be more  attentive to  approaching  the lost  and  witnessing.. it isn't easy.,  but  God  is  looking for a church  that isn't  afraid   to  be able the Lord's work in witnessing    and  living lives  that glorify  God.  I pray  we all can  take it to heart and    exemplify  God to the world  through love,   sacrifice, and goodwill!

After  the study I  met with my  prayer sisters  at friends home for coffee and to  discuss  things about  what we  hoped to  achieve..  We hadn't met  for prayer   since  well before covid  and   over time  things had  happened to each of us..  some great some bad,, So  it was  a great time to catch up!  We start our prayer   ministry  next week.. We will meet every two weeks to pray together for  our community,  state, and nation!

Thursday, I had a quiet day at home..  just  taking  it easy.  I had  fresh beans to  work on,  stringing,  snapping,  washing  and  cooking. I hadn't made fresh green beans in a while,  but   the day before we  drove  out into the county and  bought some a  market!  I cut up come country ham to  cook with them..  SO tasty!!!

Tomorrow, Friday,  I will have   to weight in at Weight Watchers.. I hope  to  have  lost a pound, at least, I do feel like I have eaten this week.    After  weighing in we  have a pep talk  then  return home..    On Friday evenings    hubs and I attend our local Intercessors for America  prayer  meeting.. We've been faithful members  for  the lat  10 years, at least!    I Love the people and   to pray together    is so enriching,  plus we feel like  we are  making a difference   before the Lord!!!
