Weekly Word: Two Are Better Than One, Plus My Reading, Stitching and Gratitude This Week!

Hello There!

I hope you all had a fabulous week!  Mine started off rough with a few days of illness, hence this post will be abbreviated as I lost a few days to sleep and recovery.  However, I am fine now, thank God!  It's amazing how quickly we can recover if we listen to our bodies, give it the rest it needs and then take life slowly as we recover!

Hello There!

Oh my, thank you for your emails asking about our trip to San Diego.  It. Was. Wonderful.  This time was a road trip and we had some nice long conversations.  My family looks healthier than ever, both of my parents' labs are fabulous!  Daddy is ready to live to 100!  My husband and I experienced romantic walks on the gorgeous Coronado beach and in Little Italy.  Sunrises and sunsets were lovely and gratefully enjoyed as our balcony faced the ocean.    I've scattered pictures of our trip throughout this post.  I hope you enjoy your visit today!

Weekly Word: He Lives! Plus My Reading, Stitching and Gratitude This Week!

 

Hello There, 

Happy New Year!  I hope you all have had a safe, blessed holiday season!   Can  you believe that today we took down our inside decorations? 

Our holidays were nice, but very different without my parents.  I thought it would be harder than it was.  My family's support of as well as many prayers lifting our family up eased the pain. 

I'm looking forward with hope, but also a heaviness  about the unknown future caused by life in general, the pandemic, the political and social situation in our nation as well as around the world are heavy.  

I have to focus on today.  I also focus on what I can do to make our little corner of Earth better and more joyful for myself and then for those around me.  

You, my readers and your comments are a huge part of my life.  Even now, as I write these words, a smile came across my face.  As I read and respond to your comments, I oftentimes find myself smiling.  The support our blogging community offers is priceless and effective.  

So, let us move on to 2022 holding each other up, sharing our lives and moving forward with actions that will brighten our world.

The Weekly Word

I love how the LORD knows exactly what we need when we make time to be with Him!  During my time with Him today He brought me to this verse!  David was sharing how His LORD saved him from his enemies, listing all He had done to protect His child.  (I highly recommend you read Psalm 18 in its entirety.)

Focusing on Psalm 18:46 has the potential to lift our spirits if we are experiencing challenges or to enhance our time of praise and worship!
