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 02.21.22

Hooray, it’s Monday:) Welcome to a new week!  We are doing all we can to find a sun-drenched spot around here!  Sure missing those hints of spring we had a week ago…it was a chilly weekend!!  We did manage to get out and about but were lucky not to get blown away!  Headed this morning for monthly “wives” fellowship and breakfast!?  My husband heads up a men’s group at church.  Several of the retired (aka older) gentlemen get together once a month for breakfast and some discussion.  One morning, a couple of the wives tagged along and enjoyed breakfast on the other side of the restaurant.  And, well, the rest is history.  We’re still tagging along…and enjoy our time together as well.  I chuckle when I tell friends I’m headed to the men’s breakfast fellowship!

Later this week, here on the blog, I will have my monthly Share Four Somethings post and, as well, my second “installment” of Doing, Cooking and Giving Thanks.  I hope you will stop by again.  I so appreciate all the comments and emails last week.  They are always so encouraging!  Until then, here is a verse from my Bible reading this week.  Have a great week, friends!  As always, Happy Monday!

I Corinthians 15:58  “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

Good Monday Morning

  1. You changed your profile picture! Very pretty! And that cute little guy you are holding looks like a sweetie. I, too, enjoy Mondays. They are my housecleaning and laundry day, and I SO enjoy not only a clean, organized house, but the vacuuming that brings that about. (Yes, vacuuming is my favorite household chore.)

    Blessings,
    Patti

  2. I love that you go the men’s fellowship breakfast! That makes me smile. I think it’s great that you all take advantage of the opportunity to get out and get to know one another as your husbands meet! I am missing our sunshine from the weekend- it’s pretty rainy and gloomy here all week, so I’ll be anticipating our next pretty day. I’ll look forward to coming back this week!

  3. What a wonderful idea to have a lady’s breakfast while the men are having their men’s breakfast. Of course, it’s possible because the children are grown!

  4. Why shouldn’t the wives have a nice breakfast out too! Sounds like a great start to the week. I enjoy Mondays too, a day to myself sets me up for the next two days of looking after grandchildren. We had a very stormy weekend and a lot of people around here spent their Monday clearing debris from the garden and fixing fence panels or walls that had been blown down. I am so thankful that we remained unscathed, although our neighbours had two fence panels blow down so we have to keep an eye on Coco when she goes out there to make sure she doesn’t suddenly escape into the wrong garden!

    1. I am so glad that you were spared damage – or hurt – from your recent storms! I heard those winds were fierce!! Coco would just want to be neighborly:)
