Good morning friends.  Happy Memorial Day!!!!

 

May we always remember what we celebrate on this special day.  May we always be thankful to the ones who sacrificed all, that we are able to live in a free country.

 

I hope you've had a good long weekend so far, ours has been a good one, full of rest and family time.  We are having a barbecue later this afternoon, my brother and his family and my niece and her family will be over.  I'm just praying the rain holds out, since we've been having so much of it lately.

 

Let's get right on with our Happy Homemaker Monday.  Have a blessed week friends ♥

♥♥  As I look outside my window ♥♥

I am sitting on my bed typing this post, and from my bedroom window, I see dark skies.  There is a little bit of a breeze going, which is making the Indian grass wave back and forth, ever so slightly.          

 

 

♥♥  Right now I am ♥♥ 

Working on this post, then I need to get things ready for the barbecue later.      

 

 

♥♥  Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 

I've been thinking about my great grandmother Ema, a lot lately.  I don't know why, but I just miss her, miss talking to her, miss listening to her stories and learning from her too.         

♥♥ Listening to ♥♥

The sound of the filter in the turtle tank, and the birds outside.    

 

♥♥  How am I feeling ♥♥ 

I'm a little tired, as usual.  But I'm feeling well otherwise.   

 

 

♥♥  On the breakfast plate ♥♥ 

I had coffee and some toast.         

 

 

♥♥   On the lunch plate ♥♥ 

Not sure yet, will see what I feel like later.      

 

 

♥♥  On the dinner plate ♥♥ 

Barbecue.....ribs, chicken legs, burgers, potato salad, Hawaiian macaroni salad.         

 

 

♥♥  What I'm wearing  ♥♥ 

Still in my nightgown.        

 

 

♥♥  On my reading pile ♥♥ 

My Bible.  

 

 

♥♥  On my TV this week  ♥♥ 

I finished Magnificent Century and I can't even say I loved it, because that doesn't describe how much I loved this show.  It is my top favorite series, EVER.  I actually started re watching some of it again, which is something I never do.  

I have the sequel to watch, which is The Magnificent Century: Kosem.

♥♥  From the camera  ♥♥ 

Spending time with the Lord.     

 

♥♥  Devotional, verse, thoughts  ♥♥ 

In Sunday school yesterday, we talked about a critical spirit, and more specifically the story of Moses, Miriam and Aaron.  

 

We often tend to think that we are not critical or don't judge, but the truth is that we all have our moments, where we allow that critical spirit to rear it's ugly head.  The good news is that we can repent, and ask the Lord to forgive us, which He always does.  

 

Do you have a critical spirit?  Have you ever said something to someone or about someone, without even thinking?  When we criticize others, we are actually being disrespectful and disobedient to God.  This lesson sure made me reflect and think, I hope it does the same for you.

We live in a society that thrives on being disrespectful, and constantly judging and criticizing others, so it's easy to get caught up in that mentality and go along.  But we are called to stand out as Christians, to set apart from others, and that means not engaging in these games that the enemy loves to play.
