Hello, and welcome to Wings of Eagles. What a glorious day with fall
really showing off in our area! I hope you enjoy your visit!
Let's get down to business, shall we?
The weather in my neck of the
woods:::
Monday -67/38/sunny
Tuesday -73/45 mostly sunny
Wednesday -63/40 partly cloudy
Thursday -64/37 partly sunny
Friday -65/44 cloudy
Well, it is autumn, and it is going to feel like it, too, but we do need
some rain!
Right now::: Besides working on this post., I have been rather lazy
today. I really over did it Saturday.. purging and, boxing things
up, taking things to the good will and the discovery shop and
then redoing two main hutches in our dining room. I must say, it is
so much better without the clutter!!! Anyway.. I have been watching Christmas movies all morning!
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip)::: for you younger
bloggers, a word from the wise.. do not buy stuff just because it
tickles your fancy or you think you'd love to use it someday..or
because it was such a great price... I did that with my dining room
purchasing, so many sets of dinnerware.. because I could use it for
various occasions. Many of those occasions never materialized! And
if they had I would have been just as happy using what I had and not
trying to impress someone! I ended up with over 7 dinnerware sets and
all the tablecloths and napkins and placemats and decor that was ap-
propriate for each one.. Crazy.. And now at my age,I am scaling way
back and I am so much happier! But it is a ton of work, as well!
Thinking and pondering::I was watching a Jonathan Roumie video on
Youtube today and he really set me to thinking. You may know him as
the actor who portrays Christ on The Chosen. Whether this was a true
event or one in which He has studied and chose to share with us all, the
theme of his talk was about hearing from Jesus, urging him to speak to
the people about being sure that you really a Christian, not just going
through the motions., because as you probably know time is swiftly spiral
ing into its climax when He will return to Gather His people.. those who
TRULY KNOW HIM. There are even pastors who are doing the right thing,
but it all adds up as religious work, but in that work they demonstrate
that they're not really listening for the Lord's small still voice. That
means, if the relationship that Jesus wants with us fails to occur,
there is much to consider in our own lives about how we should really
listen in your spirit to his gentle calling..for example, we pray, Lord, help
me to be a servant today and see a need in the world that I can serve you..
And then that person is checking out at the store and the cashier is demon-
strating he has had a rough day, he even goes as far as to mention some-
thing about it and the person sadly says I hope it gets better and leaves.
All along God had been whispering to her, "ask to pray for him" and she
goes on her merry way, and that night when she prays she says, 'Lord,
use me! " But the relationship was so weak that she never heard Him..
Oh, we all have so many missed opportunities!.. Anyway, it really spoke
to me.
On my tv::: I wrote last time about watching really old films on You-
tube. This week I found the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice being
played in several different venues. I love the book, all the movies and
especially Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. I have watched some over and
over! I can hardly believe that was 30 years ago.. I mean when I was ten.
that would ahve been 1930!
On my to do list:::
Monday: I got through my last week appointments and this week I have
more so I've rested from a lot of things and just been thinking about all
that is coming up
Tuesday:I get up bright and early tomorrow and go to have my stress test
for my surgery on the 3rd of Nov. I dread it.. 4 hours long!!!
Wednesday: I have no idea.. I hope to do a bit of preparation for the kids
who will be here in mid November I could do some decorating and even
some gift wrapping!
Thursday: Take a break from the paper work and do
a bit of purging upstairs.My closet is a joke.. I have things packed
away .. it will take days! I didn't get to this last week. A couple of leaf
bags would be nice to keep handy as I switch out my summer and winter
clothing!
Friday: Last Friday of the month means America Pray Now event where
several tables of folks come together with their prayers over our nation,
state, and city, fellowship afterwards with a lovely luncheon at one of
outstanding restaurants as we get to know others better, as we come from
several different churches.
My simple pleasure:::Because I am at the age of having memory issues
I have found that giving a bit of time to some online memory games
have been a good help for me. I enjoy crossword puzzles called,
classic words, online puzzles and cryptoquote games. still enjoy them.
Looking around the house::: Messy... sort of topsy turvy.. oOO I have
so much to do!!
From the WORD!
Have a great week!!!
