My Sunday here at home....
It is very rare for me to be on the computer on Sunday's. Not that I think it is wrong or anything. I just usually don't have the time.
It is very strange for me to be home on Sunday from church and not be the one sick in the bed. Just the thought of missing services brings tears to my eyes. Every Sunday I go expecting to see God move and work in our services and to know that I might miss this, is just more then I want to think about. God has been good to our church and He blesses us each time with the words He gives our pastor for us to hear.
Today, when I was planning to be at church, I was to make a pot of soup for fellowship lunch. Today was to be soup and sandwiches. I am making "15 Bean Soup". Now with two having stomach aches, I am thinking that this pot soup is not exactly what they need to be eating. But it smells so good and I just put a pan of corn bread in the oven. I am going to eat it and I will offer them something else for their lunch.
I could send a big bowl or two over to my FIL when my husband goes today for a visit. He is doing so much better and is getting along so good. I am so thankful that the Lord worked quickly is his healing and that he is doing as well as he is so soon.
This morning, I got up and opened the blinds on my 'double doors" in the gathering room. They over look the deck and the lake. I wish you all could have been here to see the beautiful sun light just shinning across the lake and reflecting into my room !!! It is but just a reminder of hoe great our God is and how blessed we are the He allows changes in our "seasons". This morning is just a sign of His wonderful promise that "this too will come to pass" and a new "season" is coming. A time for new beginnings, a time to start anew and fresh. I just love seeing Winter, (dark, cold and dreary at times,) live out and welcome the beginning of Spring. I have already started the cleaning out and freshening up of my home. It is also a good thing to do for my soul, my being. A time to look at where I am with God and His things in my life. A time to re-do or do different, things in my life for God, my family and myself.
Yep, I just love this time that is coming. I am so blessed to be able to even live on a piece of land, that I can look out over it and see God's hand even in the landscape, the mighty things that He has created for His glory.
Days like today you have to say --" ....Praise the Lord: for His mercy endureth for ever. 2Chron 20:22
