A new day, a new week and a hot cuppa coffee!!
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24. Each day is a rich and precious gift from God, with new grace and new opportunities. Jesus says that we have only this one day, and we must not be anxious for the day tomorrow.
This Day in History
William McKinley
25th President of the United States (1843–1901)
On September 6, 1901, Leon Czolgosz shot President McKinley in the Temple of Music on the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. Eight days later, McKinley succumbed to his wounds and Theodore Roosevelt became President. On October 29, Czolgosz was executed. William McKinley was the third president to be assassinated in a span of thirty-five years.
Around Town
Touched my heart to see our local Gringo's Restaurant set a table in honor and memory of the fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. It was such a tragedy, not just their lives lost, but all the lives lost over there.
Monday Trivia
Monday is the only day of the week that is an anagram for single word, that word being ‘dynamo’. A study in 2011 showed that the average person moans for 34 minutes on a Monday, compared to the 22 minutes on other days. Even if you maintain a steady weight, scientists have found that Monday is the day of the week when you will weigh the most.
Who does these types of studies anyway? 😊😊😊

Today's Quote From Robert Morris
Prayer is not a duty. It’s a privilege. God doesn’t want us to feel like we have to pray. We get to pray. We get to talk with and take our problems and desires to the Creator of the universe!

We have a new great grandbaby!! A lot happened while I was away from my blog!!
Please say hello to Miss Adalyn Taylor!
Saturday Merica celebrated her 4th birthday.
She was so happy and excited with each gift she opened.
She gave us lots of giggles and 'thank yous!'
💁
I guess I've come to the point where you say,
Enough is Enough!
Until Next Time
Why did he shoot him?
ReplyDeletePolitical ugliness.
DeleteOh my goodness! Another Great Granddaughter? How blessed you are!!! So many sweet little girls to love!! I know you have some grandsons out there somewhere too, but it seems like the girls are outnumbering the boys! You are so very blessed. Adalyn is beautiful, and so is Merica! I remember when she was born! Time sure is flying by!!! Lots of good stuff here for your Monday Morning coffee talk. I am SO happy you are back with us. Now you are inspiring me to get back to work and do some more writing. I'm being kind of lazy lately. Thank you for being true to Jesus in all you do and say! Love seeing you here again. Have a happy Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteI know it seems that way, but it's even!! lol Grands and Great Grands - 9 boys & 9 girls. I need to focus on the boys, it's just the last few have been girls.
DeleteIt is good to see so many businesses honoring the fallen, along with all the flags flying at half-staff...and many before Biden even gave the order. That new grandbaby is just beautiful! And Merica is just cute as a bug! Love your fall look on the blog! This is my favorite season of the year. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your newest blessing. I LOVE her name. And that bow? I can't even.
ReplyDeleteOh, I finished The Family Across the Street last night. 'Sure couldn't have guessed that ending, wow! Thanks for having mentioned it.
That ending was a BIG surprise!!
DeleteAdalyn is sure a cutey!! How blessed you are with all those great grands!!! I despair of ever having any. Young people ( mine anyway) are in no hurry to have a family.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary, I can't get enough of those sweet smiling grandchildren!! Congrats on your new precious Adalyn! Merica is beautiful. Love & hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri!
