Share Your World Week of Feb. 5th 2018

share-your-world2

It has been tough making time to get to the computer to write a blog this week, but in these last few minutes before I head home for the afternoon chores and then off into my night’s activities I thought I would tell you all a little about my life through Cee’s SHARE YOUR WORLD QUESTIONS.

When you finish reading my response to Cee’s weekly challenge click the link above and see how Cee’s other contributor’s have shared.

What would be your ideal fantasy way to spend Monday?

Right about this time of year I am usually dreaming of getting out of the snow and being somewhere really warm. My fantasy Monday would be to relax on a beach in a tropical climate.

What one person that you are out of contact with would you like to say thank you to?

Thank you Aunt Joan for encouraging me to keep up with the piano!

List your favorite toys or games as a kid?

toys…games… hmm….Do you remember the plastic dinosaur kits? I used to love mine. I also loved my GE Show-N-Tell Player. Does anyone remember those?

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

This really grabbed me this week.

WPC: Beloved

This week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is to pictify the word BELOVED.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

Share Your World Week Of Jan. 29, 2018

share-your-world2

I have been away from my writing desk for a few weeks visiting with my son who was home from his teaching post in South Korea. He has gone back now and here I am sitting and tapping the keys to SHARE MY WORLD.  Most of you who read me with any regularity know that Share Your world is a challenge I have been involved with for about six years now. It is hosted by Cee Neuner over at Cee’s Photography.

Each week Cee asks questions and in answering them we all share our worlds with each other. When you are done reading my response to Cee’s questions here, pop on over to Cee’s place using the links underlined above and read some of her work and the work of her contributors.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

If you had an unlimited shopping spree at only one store, which one would you choose? Why?

My usual go to answer for questions like this is Barnes & Noble but just Monday I had occasion to visit my first Hobby Lobby. If I had an unlimited shopping spree there I think I could buy the store out.

What is the worst thing you ate recently?

There are two things I ate recently that have made me a little green. I recently had some homemade roast beef hash. The hash was OK but the chef mixed butternut squash in with it….not so good. The other was a meatloaf I had just last night. Not everything was fully mixed in and, yeah, melted Ritz crackers mixed with congealed hamburg fat….again not do good.

This song has been running through my head all week.

Morning Direction from Scripture 1-29-18

Concord 1

I am worn out calling for help;
    my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
    looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
    those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal. Psalm 69:3,4

Are enemies blocking your view of God right now? Spend some time praying for them.

Mid Afternoon Meditation 1-28-18

I am worn out calling for help;
    my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
    looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
    those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal. Psalm 69:3,4

What are some of the things that are hard to understand right now in your relationship with God? What could you do to gain better understanding?
