Monday Coffee Talk

I don't have much to talk about today. 

We’ve settled into one of those hot, lazy stretches here on the Texas Gulf Coast — the kind where the air feels heavy and the days drift by slow and quiet. 

Heat and Humidity = Uncomfortable!

We've been staying home and staying cool, living day by day as the Lord provides. He certainly provides what we need, right when we need it, and these quiet summer days remind me to rest in that steady goodness. 

The house is cool and peaceful which is a blessing, one of those things that God has provided.

So that’s my Monday — Just living gently and letting the Lord guide each day as it comes.

 Time for me to catch up on July Photo-a-day with ChrissyT. 

July 25th

Today's Word: Far Away

My photo today has been shared before, but it fits today's 'far away' theme so I'm sharing again.


This is my SIL's family cabin in Wyoming.  

The Kemah bridge 'far away' in the background, this photo was also taken by our SIL Scott.

July 26th - 9 o'clock

Nine o’clock isn’t just a number on a clock — it’s a feeling. At nine, my house settles into its rhythm: coffee in hand, shadows stretching the floor from the morning sun, and the day deciding what kind of story it wants to tell.

July 27th - Cloud

Clouds over Sylvan Bay and the sailboats getting ready to sail.  From the looks of the clouds they probably had some good wind that day.

 

Psalm 113:3

 From the rising of the sun to its going down
The Lord’s name is to be praised.

Until Next Time

  3. Oh, I'm so taken with that Wyoming cabin. One can practically inhale that cool mountain air ... aaaah.
    Love what you said about a 9:09 o'clock feeling. I think mine would be 6 (am); there's something so precious about the stillness of our home, the only sounds coming from the wee birds greeting the day. Blessed!

  6. OH, I LOVE the cabin! That would be my dream vacation! So wonderful!! And I do like your description of 9:00. Usually here by 9:00 we are finished with breakfast, we are dressed and out the door to run whatever errands need to be run for the day, or take a walk if it's not too hot. Then at 9:00 pm we are usually getting ready for bed. We get up at 5:30 a.m. thanks to a little black cat named "Blackie". LOL. Even though he stays outside at night, he is always right there at the door waiting at 5:30, so I don't want to make him wait too long. He's got us well trained. LOL. Have a blessed rest of your week. I enjoyed ALL of your photos!!

  8. Great photos for the challenge. If I can find the August prompts, I may jump in too starting tomorrow.
    Love the cabin. It looks very peaceful and secluded, and I'm guessing the views from there are awesome.
