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 7.5.21

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July.  Did you get your fill of fireworks?  I am always so impressed with the displays put on right in our neighborhood!  So far beyond the days of sparklers in the driveway!!  Not surprisingly, I do not have any photos of my own but we did enjoy some pretty ones!  And, now, the weekend continues with the holiday Monday!  We will have another cookout this afternoon.  Let the eating continue!!

Here’s to a week ahead filled with summer fun!  “Be glad and rejoice….”  Tomorrow’s post will be the monthly “Currently” link-up. I hope you will come back for it.  And let me know what you have been currently eating – besides hamburgers, hot dogs or potato salad:)

“I will praise thee, O OLORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.  I will be glad and rejoice in thee:  I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.”  Psalm 9: 1-2

Good Monday Morning

  1. We loved our fireworks too! I love that this one time a year, everyone in town wants to live in our neighborhood. We have the greatest view from our front yard of the town’s fireworks! We enjoyed our evening sitting out there while our sons were here, there and everywhere. As far as eating, tonight we had French dip sandwiches and au jus. They were delicious! I’m making hamburger steaks, mashed potatoes and green beans tomorrow night, then on Thursday night I plan on having grilled chicken, as long as the rain stays away. We eat leftovers or do our own things most Wednesday nights, as well as the weekend nights. I’ll see you on the link-up tomorrow or Wednesday!

    1. On boy – sounds like a delicious week ahead at your house!! Wish you were around the corner:)
