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
I hope you had a good weekend. I did and I think I'll share a bit with you.
On Friday, hubby and I each had a chiropractor appointment, then we picked up our grocery order and then went home. Later I met my sister and we went to Joann's ( the 2 in our area along with many more are closing down), then we hit the health food store, Sam's and Hobby Lobby. So fun!
I completed this puzzle.
On Saturday, hubby and I spent the entire day at home. We did some laundry, watched TV, read and relaxed. I started the day with Bible study and then I watched a couple Hallmark movies, crocheted and enjoyed something warm to drink. Off and on all day I worked on my blanket and finally finished it right before bed.
Started my Saturday out like this. Movie, Crochet, Hot drink. Perfect!
I finished this blanket late Saturday night.
On Sunday we went to church and then picked up some lunch from Gold Star Chili and then relaxed for the afternoon and back to church for the evening service. After church, I started a new blanket. This one is for me for the back of my chair. I love starting new crochet projects.
If you have been following along with our study of James, below is the pre-recorded video of #7 in the series.
I loved this weekend and I'm looking forward to a really good week. I hope you are too. I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah with Hello Monday.
Good Morning Monday and Happy President's Day!! It's been a nice quiet weekend for Hubby and me. Again, just the kind I like.
On Friday, we went to church and hubby pre-recorded the Sunday sermon. However, due to the weather, we didn't have church, so I'll plan to post that sermon next week after he preaches it next Sunday. After that I ran to Kroger and then we picked up an order for lunch at Cracker Barrel. We really didn't do anything special for Valentines. Actually, we seldom do, because our anniversary is the 18th, 4 days after Valentine's. Spent the evening crocheting and watching TV and reading.
Saturday, we spent the day at home all day and I did some reading, watched some TV and did some laundry and just enjoyed our day.
Sunday morning we got up and got ready for church and the longer we were up, we were getting more and more snow. We ended up canceling church and we spent another day at home. I didn't measure, but I'd say we ended up with 3-4 inches. Late in the afternoon both of our neighbors came over and cleared our drive and sidewalk. We have the best neighbors. I did some Bible Study and also read a lot. Did some crocheting too.
Some of my favorite moments on Sunday was watching the snow out the windows and listening to piano music and this fireplace scene. Also, took a really short nap during this time.
And that folks was my weekend. So how was yours? I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah.
On Friday, I did some Bible study and finished a book I started the day before called "I Don't Work Here", which was enjoyable.
I picked up lunch for hubby and I from Texas Roadhouse. Hubby got a ribeye and a double salad and I got the Dallas Filet, baked potato and a salad. Loved it so much. I then met up with my sister and we ran to T J Maxx and Homegoods. I ended up getting a bottle of clear OPI polish and some new emery boards that I have been needing. My sister bought a new pair of shoes. After that we went to Menard's because I broke my shower head on Thursday. So I picked up a new one and we headed on home after that. I also ordered another book for my Kindle and started it.
That evening hubby and I just pieced around for dinner and we watched some of the shows we've been binging on lately.
On Saturday, we spent the day at home, which was really nice. I did 4 or 5 loads of laundry and cleaned up the kitchen and read the new book I bought on Friday. It was another good one. Then I bought another good book and started it last night. My plans are to finish it sometime today. As I finish my books, you can see them in my side bar.
On Sunday we went to church and had a really good service. Picked up something from Arby's for lunch and then took a nap and I read some and finished the book I bought on Saturday. I know it seems I've read a lot, but these books are pretty short and don't take a lot of time to read. We went back to church and then enjoyed binging some TV again. Below is the pre-recorded video of the morning sermon.
That was pretty much our weekend. How was your weekend? I'm also linking up with Hollyand Sarah at Hello Monday.
We had a nice weekend. Mostly quiet, but good. I'll start with Saturday morning. We took Lucy to the groomer's at Pet Smart. We left there and went to church so hubby could pre-record his Sunday morning sermon, which I'll share near the end of this post. We received a call from Lucy's groomer that she was ready to be picked up. We picked her up and headed home. Our groomer, Kelly B does an awesome job. It had been 2 months since her last grooming.
Before
After
We spent the rest of the day at home. I did some laundry, watched some TV, read some, read some blogs and just had a good day.
Sunday we went to church and had a good service and then picked up some lunch and had a nice nap, and I finished the book I was reading and then we headed back for the evening service.
After evening service we came home and watched a couple of shows that we are binging. I made myself sort of a charcuterie plate for dinner. Sliced banana, apple slices with some peanut butter, and crackers with some vegetable cream cheese. Delicious and so easy!
That was our weekend. So many might think it was boring, but it was just the way we like it. How was your weekend? I'm also linking up with Holly and Sarah at Hello Monday.
We had a pretty quiet weekend. We've mostly been staying home since last Sunday and Monday when we were inundated with almost 10 inches of snow. We went out on Thursday to pick up our vehicle from the mechanic and to leave the other one for him to make a repair on, It seems to me like our vehicles have been in the garage more than out recently. Hope that trend is getting ready to change. If not, we may be shopping for a new one. We picked up lunch from McDonalds for us and for our dog. She loved it!
On Friday we headed into church so hubby could pre-record the Sunday service to put on YouTube. While the lot was cleared, it was still icy around the doors and we didn't want to take any chance of falling, so he'll record it on Monday and then post it to FB for anyone who's interested. I'll try to remember to come back here and link it up,
Sunday's Sermon
We got about 3-4 more inches of snow on Friday evening. On Saturday morning I went out to shovel the drive and the neighbor next door came out and helped. He did at least half of the drive for me and in no time it was done and the sun melted most of the rest of it. Later that afternoon, I drove to Cracker Barrel and picked up some lunch for us. I started a book Friday night in the middle of the night and read off and on throughout the day. Saturday night we watched some TV and just relaxed.
Sunday we went to church and had a good service. Hubby preached a good sermon from the book of James entitled How to Receive God's Wisdom. He encouraged us in 2025 to pray every day asking "Give me more of Jesus". I think that's a great idea. And since I had decided not to do a Word of the year, I've now decided to do a prayer of the year, asking everyday that God would give me more of Jesus. I believe God will honor that prayer.
After church, we picked up some lunch and came home, ate lunch and took a short nap and then I finished the book I was reading. I wrote a post for Sunday and then wrote part of this post. On the way to church Sunday evening there was another beautiful sunset.
Snow - I think I've seen enough for this winter! How about you? I mean I've enjoyed spending time at home instead of out running around. But I could do that without the snow. Anyway, it's been pretty and I've been blessed by our neighbors, but again, I'm ready for it to end. However, hubby tells me we're supposed to get more on Tuesday and also some temperatures around zero and below. Brrrr that's worse than the snow!
How was your weekend. I hope we all have a great week.

It's a beautiful day here in SW Ohio. Well, that is, if you like snow. I call it beautiful because I don't have to go anywhere today and I'm so thankful for that. I just went out and measured a spot and we have just shy of 7 inches and it's still coming down. It's so deep that I had to dig out an area for Lucy to do her business. Trust me her legs are not 7 inches long, which tells you where her tushy is if I didn't shovel her an area. lol
Lucy in her spot
Photo pointing across the street.
These footsteps are across the front of our garage before I shoveled her a spot. See here tiny prints at the bottom of the photo.. The snow is not as deep here, but it's still to much for her to go. So I had to walk across and pick her up and bring her back again. That's when I went back out and made her a place to go.
We're hoping a kid from the neighborhood will come around asking to shovel for us. Hubby is worried about me shoveling and he is not able to. So we'll see what happens. We've had kids come before. It will probably be tomorrow though, as we're supposed to have snow all day.
We had a good service yesterday morning but by the time we left, there was already a covering of snow and it really hasn't stopped since. But anyway, here's a copy of the pre-recorded sermon if you're interested. He's started a new series in the book of James, which is one of my favorites.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you all have a really great day. If you're in the snow area, be careful!!
Good morning on this last Monday of 2024. I hope you are doing well. We are, except hubby is dealing with a rib that popped out of place and then later popped back in. The sharp pain is gone now, but he is extremely sore. He's got ice on it right now and that seems to be helping some. Prayers would be appreciated.
We've had a very quiet weekend, but it's been a good one. Mostly we've been home and I so enjoy that. On Saturday I ran out and got gas in the van and then picked up an order from Cracker Barrel in a nearby town. Their Saturday special is barbecue ribs and that's what we both got. They were delicious!! I just realized, I seem to be talking about ribs quite a bit this morning. lol
Sunday we had church and then picked up some chicken and took a long nap. I did not sleep much at all on Saturday night. Let me tell you, that is not good when you have to fight to stay awake when your hubby is preaching. But alas, I stayed awake and didn't embarrass myself snoring. lol
We watched some TV (we're done with the Christmas movies for 2024) starting back with some of our regular shows and starting to catch up some. I worked a couple of puzzles and did a bit of reading. I haven't started taking down Christmas decorations inside, although I did bring in the outside ones, except the door wreath. I'll probably start taking down the inside decorations sometime later this week. I'm in no hurry, as I love the Christmas lights so much.
I'm heading out in a few minutes to meet up with my sister to go to Meijers, Sam's Hobby Lobby, School Supply Store (to buy some stuff for the church bulletin board). Below is a picture of the Christmas boards.
So that's pretty much my weekend and now I'm off to start a new week. Thanks for visiting and reading my blog. Hope you have a great day!
Good morning. It's warmed up around here some, but unfortunately, it's very cloudy and raining this morning and it looks like we will have rain around most of the day. But that's okay. At least it's not ice!
I know I haven't been around here much lately, but I have been keeping up with reading a lot of your blog posts. I have just felt like I needed to spend a little more time with the Lord and it's been good. Sometimes I just have to get my priorities straightened around.
I've been reading some (I'm currently reading Melania's new biography), working jigsaw puzzles (I just picked up 5 more from my sister, who has a humongous stash of puzzles),watching lots of Hallmark Christmas movies with my hubby and spending lots of time at home, which I have been loving. We've always spent a lot of time running around and eating out and just being busy and it's been nice to slow down some. We still are going into the church office 2 or 3 times a week, and I love that. But we are both enjoying the time at home (and Lucy loves it that we are home more now too). Here are the latest 2 puzzles I've completed.
I talked with Colton a week or so ago and he showed me his early Christmas present. He lot a leopard gecko. Let me just say, this is one time I'm glad he's not here and I'm not there. Lizards are definitely not my thing. lol
When I was decorating the tree, I broke one of my favorite ornaments that said Joy on it. Unbeknownst to me, while I went on decorating, hubby went on line and bought we a new Joy ornament. What a sweetie and he picked good!
Here's our tree this year
Hubby and I are doing an Advent Bible study called, The Marvel and Miracle of Advent with Lisa Harper and Christine Caine. I'm really enjoying it.
Last night we picked up hubby's mom and went out to see some Christmas lights. I didn't take a single picture, but we sure did enjoy it. Hope you all are doing well and I hope you have a great day.
Here we are at the beginning of another new week. Mostly last week, was a really good week and most of the weekend was good too. But as always in life, there were some really hard things. But I know that God is in control and will take care of all those things too. He always has and He always will.
On Saturday I spent the morning with my sister. She was making bread and I wanted to watch and learn, well and of course, taste too. With all the steps and letting it rise, I was there probably around 3 hours. When waiting, we worked a puzzle together, which was also a lot of fun.
I love the color of her mixer.
All mixed up and sitting to rise for the first time.
Kneading it to let rise again.
Ready to separate into 2 loaf pans
Rising again in the pans
All done!
So pretty and she gave me a half a loaf to take home. It is absolutely delicious!
This is the puzzle we worked together.
Below is the Sunday morning pre-recorded sermon. Hubby records these during the week and then posts them on YouTube and FB a little after noon on Sunday.
That's about all I have for the weekend. How was your weekend? I'd love to know. I'm linking up today with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday. Thanks for visiting.
