From My Journal

 TODAY IS: 10 March 2025

AROUND ME:  The temperatures this week sound amazing!  That along with sunshine will make for some very cheerful days, weather wise.

I AM PONDERING: verse two of His Loving Kindness...the hymn we sang in church yesterday.  I'll post the words below.

AMONG MY FAVORITE THINGS: Not that I would want to list these as my favorite things every week, but last week among my favorite things were OTC cold/allergy meds, antibiotics and cough medicine to take care of the bronchitis that I was diagnosed with last Monday morning.  Also, among my favorite things were all of the yummy breakfasts that Strong Heart made us each morning during that same time period.💖

BOOKS I AM CURRENTLY ENJOYING: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and about to finish up The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory by Tim Alberta.

I AM THANKFUL FOR:  Strong Heart who took excellent care of me last week.  

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN:  just how important rest is when we are ill.

FROM THE KITCHEN:  

Kielbasa Sausage Stew

(more about this later in the week)

SOMETHING I REALLY ENJOY: when our grandkids remember us and give us a call.  It's always wonderful to connect with the younger generations.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK: "A man who should live and die without trials would be like a setting sun without clouds: he would have scant opportunity for the display of those virtues with which the grace of God had endowed him." C.H. Spurgeon

SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK: "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:5

TO DO LIST FOR TODAY: Laundry

"So teach us to number our days, 

that we may present to You a heart of wisdom."

Psalm 90:1

His Loving-kindness (verse 2)

𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰

He saw me ruined in the fall,

Yet loved me notwithstanding all;

He saved me from my lost estate;

His loving-kindness, O how great!
