As I write ... very early Monday morning
The weather.... Hot! High nineties. Who told the weatherman it's August? Chance of showers this afternoon, but not until after 2 p.m. I hope that will give us a chance to see the partial eclipse just after 1 p.m.
Right now I am... up early. I just put coffee on for my husband, water on for tea for me, and eggs in to boil.
Thinking... I cannot believe this will be my 27th year at home raising and teaching my children. I taught from the birth of my eldest son who was 26 in January. How did that happen?
A quote to share...
♥♥♥♥♥
On my reading pile... I just finished my Summer Reading List with the exception of Bible Faith by Kenneth Hagin. I'm taking my time and studying as I go. There's a whole lot of writing in this book! Some of you have expressed wonder about my attitude and faith as I go through this cancer recovery. This book has helped me see the truth of having a strong, complete faith in God and His love and goodness to me. I'll start compiling my Fall reading list, soon.♥♥♥♥♥
Favorite blog post last week...
Something fun to share...
Thank you to the precious reader who sent me this just because! I don't know who you are, but I was super-blessed when I opened the box. My only clue was the name Elizabeth on the invoice with my address listed. You are sneaky my dear! It's just as cute as the picture. Now I need to get another project on the needles so that I can use it!
On the menu for this week.... Sorry, I haven't done this yet!
- Monday...
- Tuesday...
- Wednesday... Church Supper
- Thursday...
- Friday...
- Biscuits and Gravy at Braums to celebrate the first day of school. We've done it for years!
- Doctor appointment to check my blood counts.
- Work on school planning.
- Order school books.
In the workbasket...
- I'm embarrassed that this is still on my list! I really should hem my husband's jeans. They've been waiting awhile. I'm always afraid to make the cut!
- You can see a tribble on my needles in the picture above. I just started it for my other mama Annie.
Looking forward to this week...
- Feeling better! The farther I get from chemo, the better I feel. I'm on a three week cycle. It didn't seem to knock me down as badly this time. Thank you God! I wrote the name of Jesus right on the Perjeta bag before they hung it on the IV pole this time.
- UPDATE: I've been having some pretty bad side effects since Monday afternoon. Prayer appreciated.
Looking around the house... Streamers leftover from my daughter Amy's 16th birthday party. Laundry partially folded on the table. Gotta get to that after breakfast.
On my prayer list...
- Peace of Jerusalem and Israel
- Wisdom, health, and protection for President Trump, Vice-President Pence, and their families.
- Healing for our country so that we may be ONE nation under God.
- Cancer will die the death in my body. My heart, brain, organs, spleen, and healthy cells will be protected. I will live and not die and declare the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 118:17
My prayer for you, my reader...
Jesus,
I ask you Lord to keep people safe during this eclipse. I ask you to help each to focus on you, the maker of heavens and earth, moon and sun, stars and infinite space. May they seek your face dear Lord.
I ask you to bring healing to the many who read this blog who are needing a miracle. I ask it all in the name of Jesus and by the power of the blood of Jesus. Amen.
