Wednesday HodgePodge

 


1.    Egg on your face, putting all your eggs in one basket, a good egg, walk on eggshells, nest egg, or a tough egg to crack...which eggy idiom currently applies to your life in some way? Explain

I really had to think about this one because none of the choices jumped out at me. After much pondering, I finally chose “a good egg.” Mostly because I live with one, Mr. D. He’s the best good egg around, and I’ll take him however he comes… scrambled, fried, or just sitting across the table while we share a good cup of coffee and great conversation.

2.   April 7th is National Beer Day...are you a beer drinker? If so do you have a favorite? Beer battered fish, beer bread, beer can chicken, beer brats...which one sounds good to you? Have you made any of these?

I’m not a beer drinker, although years ago I was anemic and had to take B-12 shots for a while.  During that time my doctor told me to drink one beer a day to help my body perk up. What?  So I did, but I didn’t like it.  I found that if it was ice cold I could tolerate it better.  As for beer battered fish, I’ve never cooked it but I do love it.

3.    Do you have siblings? What's the best thing about being your sibling? If you don't have siblings, what would you say are the pros and cons of being an only child?

I had 2 older brothers and have one younger brother.  Because I am the only sister, I am the best sister. ðŸ˜€

4.  How do you feel about floral scents in products? Do you have a favorite?

Sometimes they can be too strong and overwhelming. If it’s a soft, light scent, I like it just fine. My favorite scent isn’t floral, it’s apple cinnamon.  Apple cinnamon has such a warm old-fashioned and cozy scent, I like my home to smell that way.

5.    What's one thing in your home that begins with the letter G that you would say is a keeper, something you'll hold on to? Tell us why.

Gifts – if someone thinks enough of me to gift me with something, I consider that a treasure, I’ll keep it forever. Unless it’s candy, I eat candy!  Flowers, when they wilt, I toss them and if they came in a nice vase, I'm sure to save it.

6.   Insert your own random thought here. 

Sometimes I think God gives us squirrels just to remind us that even the most chaotic little creatures still find time to stop, sit up straight, and enjoy a snack. If they can pause in the middle of their acorn‑hoarding, tree‑hopping, tail‑flicking busyness… maybe I can pause too. Maybe today’s victory is simply finding a cozy spot, taking a deep breath, and nibbling on whatever small joy is in front of me.




Until Next Time

Easter

  Matthew 28:5-7

But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”

 

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes;
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

I serve a risen Savior
  He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living,
  Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
  I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
  He’s always near. 

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
    He lives within my heart.




May the hope of the risen Christ steady your heart today. May His light guide your steps, His peace fill your home, and His love remind you that new beginnings are always possible. “He is not here; He has risen.” — Luke 24:6
