Biscuits Anyone?

Picture from the internet.

A pastor asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast.

"Lord, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began. The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wonder where this was going.

The farmer loudly proclaimed, "Lord, I hate lard." Now the pastor was growing concerned.

Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, "And Lord, you know I don't much care for raw white flour". The pastor once again opened an eye to glance around the room and saw that he wasn't the only one to feel uncomfortable.

Then the farmer added, "But Lord, when you mix them all together and bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits. So Lord, when things come up that we don't like, when life gets hard, when we don't understand what you're saying to us, help us to just relax and wait until you are done mixing. It will probably be even better than biscuits. Amen."

Ok...carry on 

Blessings to All

Until Next Time

Nesting

 I've become a nester.

Lately I've been sitting at the kitchen window every morning because I really enjoy the big window there, I enjoy watching the morning activities.  No, I'm not nosy 😊, I just enjoy seeing life around me.

It's so nice each morning to see the morning sun shining and the pretty roses that grow just outside the window.  I even enjoy the rainy mornings when they come.

I do have an office space where I normally do my journaling, Bible studies, coloring and whatever else catches my attention, it just doesn't have a nice big window.

No doubt about it, it's a nest.

Bitsy has a new nest too, right beside me.  If you look hard you'll see her little butt sticking out from her blankie.

She'll lay there and sleep all morning.

I color and I read . . .

This Billy Graham book is so good.  What a great man of God he was, he must be walking the streets of God with Paul himself.

Someday our life's journey will be over.  In a sense we all are nearing home.  As we do so, I pray that you and I may not only learn what it means to grow older but, with God's help, also learn to grow older with grace and find the guidance needed to finish well.

. . . And I journal.

Our oldest daughter, Tracey and her hubby, Scott have purchased a new home in League City.  I sure hated to see them leave La Porte but League City is not too far, it's only about 30 minutes depending on the traffic.  When we downsized, we opted for smaller and cozy, they have opted for big and beautiful.  Mr D, Russ and I rode with Tammy to go for a visit, it's a gorgeous home, I'm so happy for them.  Sorry to say I didn't even think to take a picture. 

We're off today to celebrate Adalyn's second birthday. 

 It always amazes me how fast these babies grow.

AND, it's Mr D's birthday.  After the party we're going to a place of his choice to eat.

Blessings to All,

Until Next Time

And Life Goes On . . .

Sometimes the days seem to last forever!  I'm usually very satisfied to be at home, I can always find something to keep me busy.  Lately that hasn't been the case.  I have found myself quite bored.

Mr D and I still get out and ride around, just looking at whatever is happening in our little town.  A lot of industry around here and a lot of new industry coming in.  It's all because of the Houston Ship Channel.  I've mentioned before how much that has changed La Porte.

We had a little storm come through yesterday morning.  Heavy rain and high wind gust disturbed some thing on the porch.  Nothing was damaged, just 're-arranged'!!

The thunder was so loud Buddy Boy would not leave my side.  Bitsy will hide, Buddy has to be in my lap, covered with a blanket.  Most dogs don't like thunder, it's stressful for them.

I sat down one day and wrote some greeting cards to all my GLOW Sisters and got them in the mail.  I enjoy all the modern technology, but there is still something special about receiving a hand written card  in the 'real' mail.

A dear lady from church lost her battle with Cancer this week.  She was just diagnosed on June 10th, and she thought she had maybe 2 years to live.  She only lived a month.  Just so very sad.  She's with her Lord now,  and I know she is happy.

A shout out to my daughter Tracey, who will be celebrating another birthday tomorrow!
