Tuesday 4

Welcome to Toni Taddeo’s Tuesday 4, hosted by Annie.

Those Little Annoyance’s

 

1. What pet peeves bother you the most?

Oh mercy… what is it with people who refuse to use their turn signal? Not every intersection has a red light, folks. Some of us are just out here trying to guess whether you’re turning left, right, or planning to camp out in the middle of the road. It shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz every time I drive through town.

2. Do you air your grievances or keep things to yourself?

Most of the time, poor Mr. D gets the full weather report — clouds, thunder, and the occasional breeze of common sense. Thankfully, we usually end up agreeing on whatever I’m fussing about, which helps the storm pass quicker.

3. What government ordinances, city requirements, or red tape annoy you?

In our little town, it takes an act of Congress just to get a permit for anything. Want to fix something? Build something? Breathe in the general direction of a project? Better pack a lunch and settle in. It’s aggravating as all get‑out.

4. When life’s annoyances gang up on you, do you take it to the Lord in prayer? What else helps you regain your equilibrium?

I talk to the Lord about everything — big, small, and in‑between. When life piles up, I slip away somewhere quiet to regroup, breathe, and think things through. A little solitude, a whispered prayer, and the reminder that God is still steady… that’s usually all it takes to bring me back to center.


With that said, those tiny irritations really can get on our last nerve.

I like the advice someone gave my daughter Tammy,

“Choose your battles!”

And isn’t that the truth? Not every pebble in the road deserves our energy. Some things we can simply step over, breathe past, and keep moving with grace.

I always try to keep my heart light and enjoy the peace that comes from letting the small stuff stay small.

The Simple Woman's Daybook

 I was visiting with Annie at  Cottage by the Sea and her post was The Simple Woman’s Daybook.  I enjoyed her post and thought I would join in.

    Outside my window . . .

Another dreary day, sunshine where are you?

I am thinking…

About the death of Joni Lamb, very sad.

I am thankful…

For the blessings and provisions from God. 

In the kitchen…

Is where I am as I write this post. Because the skies are overcast it’s dark with only my lamp shining bright.

I am wearing…

Teal pajama with black designs all over them.

I am creating . . .

Not much today.

I am going…

Shopping via Amazon for some things we need.  

I am reading…

Morning devotion Unto The Hills from Billy Graham.

Saved By an Angel

Front Porch Tales

I am hoping…

For sunshine and mild temps.

I am looking forward to…

Meeting our new great grand daughter in a few weeks!  Due date is May 19th.

Around the house…

Peace and quiet.

Mr D and his buddy Arnold are in the garage changing strings on their guitars.

A favorite quote for today…

Charles Spurgeon — “God’s mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water than diminish the great mercy of God.” A reminder that His faithfulness is not fragile—it’s vast.

Until Next Time
