If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Bits of This and That

 Good Monday Morning to You!

It's a good day for a good day.  I've got so many things to do this week, but first I want to thank God for a good weekend He gave us.  I haven't posted since Tuesday last week, so this may flow back to some days last week.  Hubby had a couple doctor appointments (first one was last Monday) and I drive him there so I can let him off at the door.  He's got some issues with walking too much, so at least by dropping him off at the door, it shortens the walk a little bit.  His other appointment was on Thursday and then we went to Cracker Barrel and had breakfast afterwards.

We sat near the fire and it was beautiful to watch.

Tuesday night we picked up his mom and we went out and looked at Christmas lights and just had a great time talking and laughing and being together.  Of course, we missed his dad as he used to always be part of these nights too.  But we had a great time and saw some beautiful lights.

This is one scene from one of the drive thru displays we visited.

Wednesday we had the annual business meeting at church and we are so blessed with a wonderful group of people and all went well there too.

On Friday we dropped Lucy off at the groomers and we went and ran some errands and had lunch at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, Chuys.

Lucy refused to look at the camera.

I love their chips and creamy jalapeno sauce


After grooming. 
The bow was gone after about 2 minutes in the house. lol

On Sunday we had a beautiful morning service and then we had our Christmas potluck afterwards.  This is the first dinner we've had since you know what started over 2 years ago.  Everyone had so much fun just being together and the food was good and I'd say it was a great success!  I left my phone home by accident that morning, so I have no pictures at all.  But I think that may have been a good thing for me.  Instead of worrying about pictures, I just enjoyed the moments as they came.

Below is a pre-recorded video of Sunday morning's sermon which is the third in his Christmas series, "O Come Let Us Adore Him."


Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you are finding time in this busy season to just adore Him!

  1. Sounds like a nice weekend! I love when Cracker Barrel has the fire going. Here in N. Florida we don't get it all too often. We looked at lights this weekend too, which was fun.

  2. Cracker Barrel has the best fireplace! I love their breakfasts, too. Last time we had a 4-Star waitress. I remember reading Sean Dietrich's column about the stars on their aprons and commented. I think she was tickled that we'd noticed and said something.

    2. Here you go, Cathy. After I commented, I thought maybe not everyone knows about the stars. Here's a link to that column.

  5. Oh, how sweet with the short-lived bow! And isn't that fireplace just wonderful. I wish I had one myself. I enjoyed the sermon and laughed out loud at the story of the love note. It was a great way to start my day off this morning.

  6. Lucy is looking so fancy! Bows, apparently, are for silly girls:)
