Monday Coffee Talk

Here it is Monday again, and I’m sitting here trying to think of something to say! My life is quiet these days—some might even call it boring. And honestly, it is, but only because health issues keep me close to home.

If I had my way, today would start with a good ladies' Bible study. There’s nothing like diving into God’s Word with a group of like-hearted women. Afterward, maybe lunch with dear friends—fellowship is always so uplifting. And why not go shopping after that? Even window shopping sounds fun. Then home in time for afternoon coffee on the porch with Mr. D, a light supper, and finally curling up with a good book until bedtime. Doesn’t that sound lovely?

Now, while I may not be able to do all those things, I still find joy in the simple moments. I do study my Bible—sometimes online, sometimes out on the porch. Mr. D and I always enjoy lunch together; that’s the sweetest kind of fellowship. Shopping? Well, hello Amazon! And yes, we still treasure our afternoon coffee on the porch, weather permitting. And most days, there’s a good book waiting beside my chair.

And life goes on.

Thank You, Lord. ♥

My Next Book:

I had every intention of reading The Women by Kristin Hannah . . .

. . . but I found Cora!!

Cora faces death, abandonment, bullying, family struggles, attempted rape, loss of a child, and finally redemption.

I hope it's good, stay tuned and I'll let you know!

Family News:

Tracey (oldest daughter) and Scott left out the other morning going to Carlsbad Caverns, from there they visited the Grand Canyon and then went north into Utah for a stop or two.  Then they'll head to their cabin in Wyoming for a month. I'll miss her but it's great they have such a nice place to go.  AWAY from this heat.

Tracey and Family

The cabin sits just outside of Yellowstone Park.

Scott shared this picture Saturday morning.  Oh how I wish I was there♥

Bible Trivia:
