How I am feeling today:

I am feeling great, but am sort of dreading going to the dermatologist for my annual body check this afternoon.  I want to have several moles burned off , but dread it!

On my mind::

I had such a great evening last night. We went to a patriotic  service at a previous church. The program was amazing, but more than that it was so wonderful to see so many dear friends.But then I saw a  very sweet friend from another previous church with her sister I knew in my twenties.  It was the sweetest reunion. I do hope to meet them for lunch, soon, .But then, I turned and saw a precious friend from when we were children,  a surprise indeed, for  she was even my maid of honor! Oh how wonderful last night was.  But you know it was so hot I actually toyed with the idea of not going. But thank you, Lord for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to reconnect and have some fabulous plans for the future! 

On the breakfast plate::

As always I enjoy my coffee and fruited yogurt! My hubby is so good to me!

I do not know what else to say on this one  .... it is always the same... praise the Lord~~~

On my reading pile::

I have finished my first lesson in Chapter one of James.  I really need this study.. I know that I need to really control my tongue.. in several ways.. and my thought life as well. As we realize we are entering the end of the end times, we each need to really repent from the hidden sins we have in our character! 

On My TV::

I love YouTube videos on homemaking,  journalling,  and  anything British.  This never changes.  Mainly, because I really do not like the tv shows on the networks!  Give me an old movie every time.  

On the menu today::

 Breakfast: fruited yogurt,  coffee

Brunch: 2  boiled eggs, English muffin, coffee

Midafternoon: 
A treat of skinnypopcorn

Dinner:  
Tossed salad, broccoli,  corn on the cob

From the camera::

Even though the heat has been abominable I still was able to take a few nice photos outside yesterday.


I am so proud of the brick, steps, and wall as hubby has power washed them last week! Makes such a huge difference!

Looking around the house::

There are so many things that need doing.  I really need to dust and vacuum.  Poor hubby had to do the laundry today, because I cannot carry anything up and down steps.   But there are things I can do,  but to tell the truth, I do not.  I straighten up, I put away, I do dishes and cook half the meals, but I do think I could do more.. but I despise our old Electrolux canister vacuum. Dragging it around tuckers me out. I beg Lynn for a good, new push wand type vacuum.   Any recommendations?

What I am listening to::
 
I am watching Dr. Phil, which I do not usually watch, but Donald Trump in his guest, and it is a fabulously impelling discussion. I pray God’s blessing on this man!  It is on YouTube from yesterday. 
 
What am I looking forward toward to

My birthday is coming soon and Lynn is taking me to a fabulous Bed and Breakfast for a couple of days. This place is so gorgeous, I am ecstatic to spend time there. But , also, I have made arrangements to meet a dear cousin and husband for lunch in a very wonderful restaurant in the area.  I haven’t seen her in years. So I am almost in tears as I write this!

To relax this week, I  will:: 

My best relaxation technique is music while I do word puzzles.  Not only calming, but helpful to my memory as well! I buy my puzzle books at dollar tree. 

Prayer Requests:

All the many beloved ones who are suffering various  illnesses  and  broken bodies,  and I have a couple of dear cousins who have lost loved ones this week.  
We had several  serious  prayer requests  in our Connect Group yesterday  and it is so important  to follow through and not forget  these requests!!

Praying for our broken nation and the leadership that is pulling the foundation out from under us!
  Known and unknown  world events that are  shaking  the nations  with    possible  calamity  and  unrest.
  A rapid end of the war in Israel that will  bring peace!
Most importantly, to pray against the possibility of WWIII  which could happen anytime since the world knows how incompetent our leadership is! Also, pray for the lost, and for Christians to be bold in sharing the gospel as they are able.  I have a very huge call on my life to speak the gospel to a couple of loved ones in my family , but also a precious previous doctor  who took early retirement because of serious cancer. Problem is he is Jewish,   Oh how I want to lead him to Jesus.. I am afraid I will upset him. But what if no one does.  I cannot live with a what if in theses days!

Farewell

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