Waking To The Wind Chimes
Catching up on REST. I sit in my red and black plaid housecoat that is like a second skin to me as I have often worn it before dressing for the day. WOKE to the sounds of a wind chime on the porch dinging gracefully from the breeze.
The sky was completely grey this morning as if it were to snow. I pray we get another deep snow before SPRING arrives. I would like so much to sit by the window and view the WHITE WINTER WONDERLAND where everything in nature is covered with a blanket of snow untouched.
I haven't had my cup of coffee with cream yet as I forgot I fixed it and went off to do something else while checking email and blogging. Kind of got lost in the moment and forgot my brew.
Laundry's in and television is off. Seldom do I watch daytime television anymore. I detoxed from it and don't miss it. Now my late nite tv is a different thing. The tele comes on and we watch PBS programs that I could get lost in as the big screen television makes the people close to life size. The clothing and the interior design make me swoon. Gets my attention.
Today, I truly need to get outside to breathe some fresh air and go to the little local store that sells Valentines and candy. With being out of town/state grieving there was no interest in shopping for Valentines. The month is getting away from me as I have slowed down to live life and be real.
Gosh....once again the seasonal things did not come out to be put on display. Missing this, I hope in the future to share HOLIDAY CHEER with at least a few items that show off the season.
Thank you notes will be worked on and of course the laundry. Bed will be made and dishes hand washed. A closet will be rearranged, some bedding folded and carefully placed. Doesn't sound like much, but today it is just about all I can get accomplished. Time to think, pray and rest.
I am picking one Bible verse per month to memorize and say out loud throughout the day to see if I can recall some verses. Chapter and verse included. January's verse was Psalm 118:24 This is the day WHICH the Lord hath made; WE will be glad and rejoice in it. My memory is challenged. Now I have to go check that to make sure I remembered the correct chapter and verse.
I did. I like the King James Version.
February's verse Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
REJOICE!!!
Home LIFE is for me.
God Bless you,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna

Oh my dear friend, I so enjoyed your post. I feel like you very often and I do have a pink towel robe I put after I take a shower in the morning and finally take it off when I dress. I too loved and miss white winters in my home town NY. Sometimes even I feel bad when summer arrives in the USA with that awful heat... although here the weather is mostly dry and so pleasant as Fall is... or Spring for that matter.
Enjoy your winter days with a hot cuppa coffe. I have mine with coffemate, though..lol
Hugs sweetie.
FABBY
I'm yours! :) Hubby
