Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

Good Monday Morning 02.14.22

Happy Monday – and Happy Valentine’s Day!  We had a “love”ly weekend…even though it did include some snow.  It was only a dusting and the two days beforehand were hints of spring!  I cannot complain.  We had a great evening out with friends on Saturday and then I enjoyed plenty of Valentine’s fun with my Junior Church kiddos yesterday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend as well – and that today is the beginning of a “sweet” week, too!!

I hope you will come back on Wednesday when I share a couple of soups that I have been enjoying lately.  Whether I like it or not, soup weather is here for several more weeks.  I’m going to make those weeks tasty!  For today, this is quite possibly one of the most amazing verses on love……

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Good Monday Morning

  1. Sounds like you had a delightful weekend! I feel the same about mine. It was so good! I’ll look forward to checking back on Wednesday! Have a wonderful day, my friend!

  2. Amen to Romans 5:8…one of THE BEST verses ever! So glad you had a great weekend and I trust a Happy Valentine’s Day today! Soups? I made one on Saturday to take to our church Agape Pot Luck luncheon. It’s called “Brunswick Stew”, which is an old Georgia recipe. The old timers used to put rabbit or squirrel or venison or who knows what in it, but I used ground beef and some ground pork sausage. The idea is to cook the meat, add chopped onion, celery, potatoes, canned tomatoes, and canned or frozen mixed vegetables with lima beans, corn, carrots, peas, green beans or whatever you like. Then add a bottle of Barbeque Sauce to the liquid (I did also add some water with the canned tomatoes too) and let it simmer slow in a crock pot all day or you can hurry it up a bit if it is for lunch, like I did. I cooked it in my crockpot on high (after I had already browned the meat and poured off all the grease in a different pan before adding all the vegies, etc.) Serve with some corn bread, and you’ve got a good meal!! My large 7 qt. crock pot was full when I went there, and it came home empty. Everyone loved it. I thought, great! I was just cleaning out my freezer and they thought it was good! LOL. Have a great day!!
