It’s
definitely Monday.
Cold.
Wet.
Monday.
I am glad
for a little winterish weather; it makes things seem just a little more
Christmassy. I wish I were in Gatlinburg
right now, though. Well, not today, they’re
having severe storms, but I’d like to be there for a few days in the Christmas
season. I’m missing the mountains right
now. If ever I were to leave my beloved
Shoals, I would live in the mountains.
I am in a
bit of quiet mood today, remembering Who is in control and not letting the cares
of this world affect my mental stability...which is questionable on even the
best of days! Ah, but He did give us a
sound mind, didn’t He? (II Timothy 1:7) There are days when I must hold on tightly to
the knowledge that He already knows my cares…and He does, indeed, have a plan. And if you ever...if you EVER wonder if God really answers prayers, take it from me, HE DOES! I am humbled by His grace and mercy.
Did I
mention chilly…damp…Monday? I will
definitely need to build a fire tonight.
We woke up to our high today, and
the temps are slowing dropping. I woke up last night to the slow, lonnnng
rumble of distant thunder complete with the driving rain hitting my roof and pouring
off my window.
I would
insert something intelligent or funny here, but I’m blank…and I have to be
honest and say I’d rather be curled up in my bed under my warm blanket watching
“You’ve Got Mail” or “Home Alone”…or some other sappy movie.
I’ll end
with one “Dear …”
Musing:
Dear Hardee’s:
Someone
needs to teach your cook staff how to make a low carb burger. It’s not a piece of meat thrown into a box
on top of a tomato and a couple of pieces of lettuce! By the way, if someone is ordering a low carb
burger, it’s an almost guarantee they don’t want fries with that.
Have a beautiful...wet...cold...Monday...

It's a chilly & damp Monday here in beautiful western Washington too. The woodstove in my living room is glowing. And yes, He does answer prayers and have a plan for our lives. 'Praise God from whom all blessing flow.'
ReplyDeleteIt's seems to be raining all over the world, to quote the old song. We've had rain for a day and a half straight. It's not yet three pm here, but it's so dark all of our lights are on. Although, for Pittsburgh, it's warm so I had some windows open for a bit (58 degrees) to get what may be the last bit of fresh air. Smells like spring. :D
ReplyDeleteSnow is forecast for tomorrow morning. Like they say, if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute--it will change. :}
Praying for us all during the storms of life, too. Hey, there's a picture of a storm on the sidebar of my old blog. If you click on it, the song "I Will Praise You in this Storm" will come up. You may enjoy it.
I just remembered that. I'll head over and take a listen myself.

LOL about minus the fries with a low carb burger. Hoping Hardees does eventually learn how to cook one to one's taste! So right God is in control and is so merciful and does answer prayers!
ReplyDelete72 degrees right now, but we are due for a storm with colder weather (high 50s) later this week.
stay warm!
