Today I'd like to
Sit & Sip
Forget the world
A little bit
Ignore the things
I have to do
And just enjoy
A cup or two.
Weather Report:
Last week was full of warm springy days and then winter decided to come back for a visit. It was so cold Saturday and still cool Sunday, much too cool for coffee on the porch! Hopefully the warm temps will be back this week. . . and life goes on!
Around Town:
I went to the beauty shop Friday to get beautiful! lol
When I walked in I was greeted by these beautiful orchids. Maria, my hairdresser, has a way with plants. She knows how to keep them healthy and growing. Picture certainly doesn't do them justice, they are so pretty.
Coffee Trivia:
Legends and myths state that a goat herder by the name of Kaldi found the first coffee forest in Ethiopia centuries ago and he reported the mysterious beans to the local monastery. Legend goes the monks made a beverage with the beans and felt energized, the new beverage started to spread worldwide by the 1700’s.
Another legend about Kaldi the goat herder also states he stumbled upon the coffee when his goats ate the cherries and they were energized, Kaldi has now discovered coffee. In all honesty nobody really knows when or where coffee was first discovered.
Today's Quote:
“Hearing God’s voice is not about something we do. Rather, hearing God is about someone we are. Hearing God is not primarily a behavior. It’s a reflection our identity. We hear God because of who we are and because of whose we are.”
Robert Morris, Frequency: Tune In. Hear God
Today's Humor:
Today's Scripture:
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8
What was God doing before the beginning of time?
1 John 4:8
What was God doing before the beginning of time?
What He always does:
He was loving because He is love.
Hoping for warmer weather this week Mary....I am ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the coffee Mary. The orchids are beautiful! You gave me my laugh for today with Simon/Peter's today's humor. Still waiting for Spring here in my neck of the woods. Have a day of blessings my friend.
ReplyDeleteI got a good laugh from the Simon Peter cartoon.
ReplyDeleteThose orchids are lovely. I wonder if they are hard to manage.
Its chilly here by the Jersey shore Mary. 27 last night and went up to a tropical 40 this afternoon. But many birds have come back already.
Loving your pretty header as usual. They make we want to decorate my porch (which is almost nonexistent).
Have a lovely Monday Mary.
Lol on the beauty shop and getting beautiful. You are quite beautiful in and out, Mary. smiles
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely week ahead.
Cute cartoon about the business cards! Isn't that always the way!? The orchids are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful post, Mary! I love the Scripture verse you've chosen for today. It is one I have memorized.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy my morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteOne time when our dog was still somewhat of a puppy he got into some coffee beans while we were out. We came back and he was certainly energized ( as if a puppy isn't energized enough!!). Later we saw what he'd gotten into and knew why.
OH so good...loved it all. The orchids are gorgeous. My sister can grow them, but not me. The coffee story is good...whoever started it sure wishes he'd sold stock in it...lol...Love the cartoon about Peter...that would be my luck too. LOL. Hearing God's voice is something I am trying to attune my ears and heart to do every day. Sometimes His voice gets drowned out by all the clutter around me, but when I "Be still, and KNow that He is God..." then I can hear Him more clearly. Thank you for this today.
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Peter...that's exactly like something that would happen to me...and I can be a lot like him, too...unfortunately! :'( Love this quote....We hear God because of who we are and because of whose we are!!! AMEN and AMEN!!! HOPE you have a terrific Tuesday, sweet Lady!!!
