Monday Morning Coffee Chat

Hello Monday! 

Today I choose....

....to live an awesome week

....to live with an expanded heart

....To embrace my strength within (if I can find it..lol)

....to move with a focused mind

....to be thankful for all I have

....to live my life for God's glory

....and to love the Lord my God
                                           with all my heart and soul.


Coffee Trivia

Cowboy Coffee originated from Cowboys using there dirty socks out on the trail as coffee filters. They filled there sock with coffee beans, immersed the sock in boiling water then squeezed the coffee into there cups.

Isn't that disgusting?!!


I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
Make of my troubles quickly an end

I must tell Jesus!
I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus!
I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

Received this sweet card from Debbie at
My Vintage Daydreams
It's always nice to receive these little treasures in the mail.  Makes me feel so blessed to know someone is thinking of me!
Thank You Debbie!

Who's ready for a road trip?

I think most of you know that I love old houses and pretty porches!

Let's sit here and enjoy the day!

Hope you have a great week!

Until Next Time
It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus!

    1. I know, it's hot and humid here too. I think if we pretend we're on that porch, we can also pretend it's a breezy 70 degrees, or even 68 degrees, oh shoot, let's just pretend it's freezing outside! lol

  5. You know I do love that page on FB...I love Front Porch Sitting too!That one is just right for us to sit awhile and sip tea or coffee, I love them both.
    For the Cowboy Coffee,none for me, but I guess it's a way to save time,wash their socks and make coffee at the same time.
    Love that old hymn, I go around singing it to myself.

  6. Oh yucky on that Cowboy Coffee. My grandma used to boil her coffee in a pan, then drop an egg (in the shell) in the pot to settle the grounds. I guess it also cooked the egg. Your pics are beautiful and I love the front porch. Would really enjoy that. Now the song I remember from one of my favorite preachers when I was a teen. He would hold revivals at our church and play guitar and sing that song. Loved him. I Must a Tell Jesus. I still sing that sometimes when I have a problem.
