Monday Coffee Talk

I don't have much to talk about today. 

We’ve settled into one of those hot, lazy stretches here on the Texas Gulf Coast — the kind where the air feels heavy and the days drift by slow and quiet. 

Heat and Humidity = Uncomfortable!

We've been staying home and staying cool, living day by day as the Lord provides. He certainly provides what we need, right when we need it, and these quiet summer days remind me to rest in that steady goodness. 

The house is cool and peaceful which is a blessing, one of those things that God has provided.

So that’s my Monday — Just living gently and letting the Lord guide each day as it comes.

 

 Time for me to catch up on July Photo-a-day with ChrissyT.

Today's Word: Far Away

My photo today has been shared before, but it fits today's 'far away' theme so I'm sharing again.

This is my SIL's family cabin in Wyoming.  

The Kemah bridge 'far away' in the background, this photo was also taken by our SIL Scott.

July 26th - 9 o'clock

Nine o’clock isn’t just a number on a clock — it’s a feeling. At nine, my house settles into its rhythm: coffee in hand, shadows stretching the floor from the morning sun, and the day deciding what kind of story it wants to tell.

July 27th - Cloud

Clouds over Sylvan Bay and the sailboats getting ready to sail.  From the looks of the clouds they probably had some good wind that day.

 

Psalm 113:3

 From the rising of the sun to its going down

The Lord’s name is to be praised.

Until Next Time

Photo-a-day July 24

Today's Word: Close Up

 This bloom is from a few years ago, it's a Double Peach Hibiscus.  It was a beautiful plant and grew quite large.

We are very thankful that TS Bertha didn't give us any issues. In fact, it veered just enough to put us on the clean side. Even the dirty side of the storm lessened before landfall.  Even though the area south of us got a lot of thunderstorms and gusty winds the storm wasn't as bad as it good have been.

Tammy stopped by for a few minutes, it's so good to have her home.  I don't think they are planning another trip until the fall.

Peggy & Hank were here for a while.  Peggy is helping Mr D put an item for sale on ebay.

Hank and I sat in the living room and played on our phones! I have several game apps that I enjoy.

What's for Lunch?

Ribs, potato salad, some left over slaw and sliced tomatos, with a glass of iced tea.

I like this quote from Max Lucado,

“God never said the journey would be easy, but He did say the arrival would be worthwhile.”

This is a great reminder that the hard days don’t mean we’ve wandered off God’s path. They’re simply the hills and bends of a road He already knows by heart. He walks every mile with us, steady as sunrise, patient as grace.

Until Next Time
