Rainy Morning

After my whirlwind of activities yesterday it is good to have a quiet moment. There is a gentle drizzle outside so I am confined to the sofa.

The Hubs has gone to his small group and the Girlchild is still sleeping so my house is quite. A quiet house is a good thing!

God is good and my efforts to make good choices during campmeeting were  balanced. I fixed a big salad from home most  nights and then allowed myself one choice (ok maybe one and a half choices) from the dessert table. It was a workable solution.

I did give myself one night to visit the covered dish table and again God is so good. He prompted someone to make everything I was searching for.

Macaroni & Cheese, hashbrown casserole, deviled eggs, butter beans, broccoli salad and a fried chicken wing. I did also heap on a big serving of a really good greek salad, so a good choice was provided as well. Y'all is was soooo good!

Even my devo this morning was about making one good choice at a time. Repairing decades of bad choices will take some time. I confess to being a bit discouraged at times with the slow progress but slow is better than no progress.

One of the scriptures from this morning was about being connected to the vine. I love the imagery in this. It is never more apparent then a quick trip out to the garden on a hot day. By late afternoon if there has been no rain the leaves are wilted and in need of refreshment. It's my job to care for my vines. I water them, prune off the parts that are unruly, harvest the ripe fruit and toss the fruit that is bad.

Repairing my temple requires a daily pruning of my actions and my thoughts. I still have much work to do, but thankfully my example is right before me.

Remembering to stay connected to The Vine, God's Word, His Love, His Presence...

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Blessings

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
