Each Day A Gift

"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits."

Psalm 68:19

Lord, each day is a brand-new gift unspoiled, unblotted.

Help me to be inwardly open to what You have for me today.

In Christ name I pray

The Sun Was Warm

So I went for a little walk around yesterday:

this is what I found.

 This plant is a trooper --This hyacinth is going to bloom.

It  just want give up.

This was out side some steps at the back of the pool.

 In a flower bed are these reminders of heaven.

My grandmother had a big picture of this.

The little children were crossing a bridge.

She said the angles watch over us , and I believed her.

Have a good day!

The Bennie

Needed a Brownie

so I made : Caramel Turtle with walnuts .

No fancy cooking here he brought the box mix.

 He thinks I cooked them to long.

He ate two.

Cold As Heck

Down at the pool this morning, the water was not very warm.

Silly me complaining, never had a pool must less and indoor one.

We had six lady's that came ,some have dropped out to cold from them.

The Pool

 Yesterday at Jason's Deli I had a big Salad

 With French Onion Soup so good.

After I posted about my "Happy" sink problems, I then read other post.

I saw where poor Far Guy  was in deep back up drain trouble.

Made me feel bad with all the happy, happy I had posted.

Far Side said they did get things fixed, so glad for them they had lots of help.

After we came back from lunch The Bennie Called again about our sink.

They came about 4:00 and put in a new garbage disposal ( the Bennie just watched 

the man work). Bless his pea pick in heart.

 

A Happy day

Daughter called yesterday , said I want to take you out for lunch!

Pick where you want to go. It didn't take long for The Bennie to say.

He picked up a Jason's deli menu not long ago.

But the other happy news is, Our sink has spring a leak now you say

how happy can that be???

The Bennie is happy he want have to fix it. Just call  the office and say come fix this.

Now we wait and see if they come before our lunch date.

Just hoping you all are having  a happy day.

Oh For The Old Days When You Didn't Hear About The Bad News So Fast

Our snow is gone, now for the rain.

Then more cold will move in .

But life is good if you don't watch to much News!

He Is Our Guide

"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which

thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."

Psalm 32:8

 

 

Lord, I am unworthy of all the kindnesses You have showered

upon me in the past. I thank You for Your great love to me. Help

me to trust You for what I need.

(In Christ name I pray)

Lunch

We took avenge of the snow and cold to go

to the Olive Garden to spend our Christmas gift card from a granddaughter

We had , well this was not first but last, I could have eaten it first.

Chocolate Mousse cake

Salad

Bread sticks

  Chicken Gnocchi soup , so good and not very many people there. Most of the time you  have to stand in line.

 

We Just Got

the tail end of the storm.

All the cars life it was in the garage, but The Bennie was ready 

I know the rest of you people got it bad.  We are some farther  south then when

 we lived in Arkansas. Need to find something fun to do in side today it is cold.

Have a good day!

Every Morning

We have a flock of Robins on the ground.

They say we are to have some inches of snow after this rain.

A dear friend of ours died this morning, He was 89 retired form the Navy.

(A  World War Two Veteran)

Much Rain and Cold

Could be a little ice and snow this morning.

Snow flurries

for sure no flowers are blooming. But this silly little thing.

Cold, Cold here , the pool was good and warm for aerobic exercise. I
sure ran home fast.

To All

"The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him,

to all that call upon Him in truth."

Psalm 145:18

Lord, give me grace and strength to persevere and an obedient heart to do Your will.

In Christ name I pray

Today Is

"Happy Religious Freedom Day"

Congress established January 16 for honoring America's first freedom.

The Virginia Statue Establishing Religious Freedom in 1786.

In 1993, the same year our nation celebrated its first official Religious Freedom Day.

 Congress passed another landmark bill, this federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

As an expression of our gratitude for the blessings of liberty and as a sign of our resolve 

to protect and preserve them.

This March, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear its next RFRA case. It involves 

the religious right of nuns who care for the elderly poor.

The Supreme Court's decision will determine whether RFRA continues

to shield the religious practices of today's minorities from undue

 government intrusion.

Frank and Cloody

Pray for our Supreme Court !

Great Grand Son

Nicolas and his grandmother (my daughter) are having fun.

He said best Christmas he ever had! ( right) only

7 years old

What A Day

We went to get our drivers license changed from Arkansas to 

Tennessee. We had proof of address but NO that was not good enough.
My photo was on the Arkansas license but they said I had to have my birth
certificate or passport for proof  of citizenship.  When did Arkansas
 become not part of the U.S.A.

Look what I found looking for my birth certificate, my first grade
card from 1941 when I had gotten a smallpox immunization to go to school.
I think it was all because I am so white with blue eyes and I may have been living
In Arkansas Germany.
Anyway this is not the country I grew up in any more.

After the Storm

 I had to get out of the house, so what could I do but

take these photo's of where I now live. Did you see what I see?

God is good.
I live in the red brick that you see on the other side of the cars.

Change

My computer has been  out of service for sometime.

but I am back, for who knows how long. Well today

was the day for change!

So I will go down this long road as it comes.

As many of you know our Mildred at (Mildred's Blog) is not well ,she needs our prayers.

 

We Are In For A Change

Here we go again, Blogger is making it better for us???

I guess I am just getting to old, I hate change on my computer.

It has been bad enough with Windows 10. Now it is how we have  followers.

Will you be a leader , I sure need one.

Sunday' Garden Column

Said many spring plants that have come up or bloomed

because of how warm our December was, will not bloom 

come spring.

 This is what I found yesterday, Hyacinths

There nose peeking up

 Flower heads on these.

They said some Narcissi and Daffodils have bloomed.

We have now had some days in low 40's but nights low 30's

some hard frost. I hope these little things make it.

Comfort, Quietness And Calm

"Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest."

Matthew 11:28

O God of all comfort, bring quietness and calm to hearts worried 

about what the day may bring.

In Christ name I pray
