Nearer to God on a Quiet Day

 

Nearer is where I want to be.

I started 2026 with Nearer as my special word.  Today, after some reflection, I’m changing from word to GOAL.  It is my goal as the days of 2026 go by that I will draw NEARER to God.

Goal - the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result:

Hello dear blogger friends.  Yesterday was sunny skies and cool, today we’re back to damp and overcast.  Dreary ~ Yet thankfully, my heart isn’t dreary at all. I’m grateful to the Good Lord for that steady peace He gives, no matter what the sky is doing.

Our days are moving along just fine, nothing exciting, just peaceful and blessed.  Marvin (Mr D’s brother) stopped by for a visit the other night, it was good to sit and catch up, hearing what’s going on in his world.  Yesterday Tammy met a friend for lunch at El Toro’s, before going home she stopped by for a visit.  Her visits are fun and we enjoy them.

Speaking of Tammy ~ do you have pet names for your kids.  Mr D gave all our kids one and they have stuck through all the years.

Tracey is  our Tracer-bug

Tammy is sweet TamTam

Peggy is  Pegg-a-tron….where did that come from?

Russell is the Rustler

Just another little something from our world. 😊

On the menu today is homemade hamburgers with a little cup of ice cream for dessert.  I enjoy ice cream even when it’s cold outside although it makes me reach for a sweater, it’s still so delicious that I don’t mind one bit.

We got out for a little ride yesterday—drove through Lomax by Maegan’s house, then stopped at Walgreens to pick up my meds and a few other things. After that, it was back to home sweet home.

This afternoon I’m hoping to settle in with my diamond art and enjoy listening to my new CDs. 

As I listen, it’s my prayer that each message helps draw my heart Nearer to God, step by gentle step.

 

Until Next Time
