Happy Homemaker Monday ~ January 29, 2018


As I write ...  Late Monday night.

The weather.... Dark and chilly. 


Right now I am... eating ice cream.

Thinking... I'm thinking about my new knitting project. I've had a difficult time learning the pattern. I've had to pull out stitches numerous times, and I started all over once.

A quote to share...

On my reading pile...   

  • Shepherds Abiding... A Mitford book by Jan Karon

In the workbasket...

Looking forward to this week...
  • Tuesday - Knitting group
  • Wednesday - Church and an afterglow birthday for a man in our church

Looking around the house...  My motto has become, "I can only do what I can do." Unfortunately, it shows!

From the camera... 
 
Route 66 runs through our town.

Devotional...   

On my prayer list...
  • Julie (a reader) asked for prayer for her mom who has a malignant breast tumor.
  • 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.
  • Radiation will not harm my heart or lungs, and that I will be brave.
  • 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 thank you that you hear our prayers. Father, I thank you for sending Jesus. Holy Spirit, I thank you for being our comforter and our teacher. Lord God, three in one, I thank you that you personally know each one of my readers. You know each one's needs, fears, hopes, problems, pains, and illnesses. I ask you God to speak directly to each one, to meet each person's needs, and heal each physical problem. Bless each spiritually, physically, socially, and financially. I ask it all by the power of the Blood of Jesus, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Thanks for dropping by!
Please say hello.

  1. Route 66 would be a dream trip for me! How cool that you are right on the way. I am happy you have found the knitting group; you need something 'fun' and 'just because.' Girl, I am not even going through what you are, and I put off mopping my kitchen floor for way too long recently. I would hit it with a rag if I saw a bad spot, but had to finally mop it Saturday night after we finished opening oysters in there. lol Don't feel bad for what you can't do... enjoy what you can! <3 <3 <3

  7. It is back to being so cold! I had hoped it would warm up. I am longing for sunshine and summer!

    At His prompting I am praying daily for no radiation burns.

Thank you so much for "talking back" to me!

I read all comments and appreciate them.

God bless you! This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
