Monday Coffee Talk

 

We were so surprised last Thursday evening when we received a notice that our glasses were ready. They had originally told us the 11th, so that quick turnaround felt like a little gift. We picked them up Friday, and I’m really pleased with mine. Mr. D feels the same about his.

We also did a bit of rearranging in our bedroom, and now I finally have space for a new bookcase. It’s already ordered and should arrive by the end of the week. I’m excited—goodness knows I can use the extra storage.

In my chronological Bible reading with Peggy and Tammy, we’ve reached the book of Job. I’ve read Job several times, yet I’m still learning from him. The girls have shared such thoughtful insights along the way. I’m amazed at their grasp of God’s Word and grateful for how much I’m learning from them. What a blessing this shared journey has become.

 The morning we went to the eye doctor, I did something I rarely do—I took a selfie. 

It was the first time since Christmas I dressed to go out, so I figured the moment deserved a picture. A little laugh at myself included. And speaking of pictures, friends on Facebook have been posting those ChatGPT‑generated caricatures of themselves. They’re so cute that I decided to join in the fun.

This afternoon I’ve been craving a good meat loaf, so I’m planning to get one made. Since it doesn’t require stovetop cooking, I’ll be fine. When it’s time to put it in the oven, I’ll either slip my oxygen off for a moment or let Mr. D handle it if he’s nearby. He’ll also take care of the sides—easy‑peasy for him. I’m thinking mashed potatoes and green beans with iced sweet tea. That sounds mighty good. To make things easier, the mashed potatoes will be the frozen ones from Bob Evans—just a few minutes in the microwave and they’re perfect, and we love them.

We have more doctor visits this week. I see my pulmonologist, and Mr. D goes back to the heart doctor.

And life goes on—quiet, steady, and blessed.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.” — Psalm 28:7

May your week be filled with small joys, gentle moments, and the steady kindness of God’s care.

Until Next Time
