Bits of This and That - Hello Monday

It's Monday and I'm linking up with Holly & Sarah for Hello Monday.  It's a beautiful morning outside, but it's going to be a hot day.  It's 9:46AM and it's 76 degrees already and I think hubby told me it's going to be in the 90's before the day is over.  We had a nice quiet weekend and I'm not sure if I took any pictures.  I'll have to check.

Most of last week, we did not have internet at the church due to a bad router.  That got replaced before Sunday, so everything worked well for the weekend.  Hubby worked at home for parts of those days.  

Friday we ran some errands and brought home some lunch from Noodles & Company and spent the rest of the day at home.  

Saturday we picked up his mom and went to lunch at Chuy's and she insisted on buying and said it was for our birthdays, as hubby and I are both August babies. As always, lunch was good and we had lots of good conversation.  I say that every time, but it is the truth.

Sunday, we had a good Sunday School and Morning Service and then came back for the evening service. I will post the video of the pre-recorded Sunday Sermon.  Here's a story hubby told in his service.  I don't know where it came from, but it almost made me cry.

While praying one day, a woman asked God “Who are you God?” He answered: “I am.”

 

“But, Who is … ‘I am.’” She asked.

 

God said, “I am Love, I am Peace.  I am Grace.  I am Joy.  I am Strength.  I am Safety.  I am Shelter.  I am Power.  I am the Creator.  I am the Comforter.  I am the Beginning and the End.  I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

 

Tears came to her eyes.  She paused, and then she said “I think I understand. But who am I?”

 

God tenderly wiped her tears and whispered: “You are Mine.”

I don't know about you, but sometimes I just need to be reminded to not listen to satan's lies, but to remember God's truth and to know that I am His!

Here is the sermon video.

Oh, I guess I should also say, Sunday was my birthday.  I'm not ashamed to say I'm 67 (can't hardly believe that though).  I am just so glad for everyday I get to live on this side of the dirt.  We didn't do anything exciting for my birthday.  I did hear from both of the girls and also from my brother and my sister.  I received bunches of birthday wishes from friends and family on FB.  I even had 2 people at church sing "Happy Birthday" to me.  It was a great day and just the way I like to celebrate.  Our plans are to get a birthday cake at the end of the month, when hubby's birthday comes.  There is no way we need to have 2 cakes in one month.  lol

Well, that's pretty much my weekend.  How was yours?  Thanks for visiting.
