Here
I am, settled at the table by the BIG window, soaking in the sunshine on this
beautiful day. The light spills across the room like a gentle invitation to
pause and enjoy.
Mr.
D and his good buddy Arnold headed into downtown Houston to take care of some
business. I’m mighty glad it’s them and not me—Houston traffic feels like a
race, and if you’re not sprinting, someone’s liable to run you over. Okay,
maybe that’s a bit dramatic… but not by much!
Yesterday,
Mr. D took a tumble. Thankfully, he escaped with just a sore knee. We both have
to be extra careful these days. Still, he didn’t let it slow him down—he
installed a new kitchen faucet and painted our mailbox post. The post was just
plain treated lumber, and I thought it would look better painted black. So he
painted it black. And I was right—our mailbox looks downright sharp now. Lol!
Tammy
and Bo (short for Robert) stopped by for a visit and brought us some leftover
chicken and dumplings. Supper turned into a feast—we absolutely pigged out.🐷🐷🐷
They were delicious, the kind of comfort food that makes you feel hugged from
the inside out.
A family is like a circle.
The connection never ends,
and even if at times it breaks,
in time it always mends.

is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm
118:24
It’s
a gentle reminder to savor the beauty of ordinary moments—sunlight through the
window, a freshly painted mailbox, shared meals, and the company of loved ones.
Even with sore knees and busy days, there’s joy to be found.
Standing
on the promises of Christ, my King!
Thro' eternal ages let His praises ring;
"Glory in the highest!" I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Until Next Time
Such a lovely post, Mary. Wishing you a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteGood morning. I enjoyed your post this morning. I love that song No better place to stand than on His promises.
ReplyDeleteStanding, Standing, Standing on the Promises of Christ my Saviour.
ReplyDeleteI do love that song too! Your post was a wonderful uplifting start to my day. I pray Mr. D's knee will soon be good as new. I remember driving through Houston several times on our way too and from Galveston for our cruise. We also picked up and dropped off our friends at the airport. That traffic is indeed, something else. Scary fast but it''s the same here in Omaha. People seem very impatient these days.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Dear Mary, what a lovely post and beautiful photos. Patience is sadly something that is not seen as much today as when I was younger. We have instant banking, and although the technology can be very helpful, it doesn't give people the opportunity to learn how to wait and to be patient.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
