Spiritual Sunday/Love is.../Blue Monday/Aww...Monday

I have been away from Charlotte and the wonderful people who participate in Spiritual Sunday for a long while. I really need to plan my posts better to stay organized because there are so many wonderful people who post daily with other great folks! So I am here and wanting to share some thoughts today:

  Yesterday at church our Pastor Chad talked about how people that have success work on it daily. He showed a film clip from an NFL game this past season. Odell Beckham Jr. who is a wide  receiver for the New York Giants had the absolutely most amazing catch anyone in NFL history has ever seen! We were watching the game and we were blown away that he caught that ball with the three fingers on his right hand and stayed inside the bounds! The pastor said we often ask God why is so and so have great success?  Why can't I be a success? Then he showed film clips of Odell practicing that very catch, over and over, hundreds of times in a single practice! He compared that NFL awesomeness to our own lives and how we should never stop studying the Word of God! I left church with such a good feeling, which I usually do, but yesterday was different. I was noticing the various members of our church band. The young woman who gracefully slices  her fingers across the strings of her violin. The the young men playing various type of guitars. The gentleman on the keyboards! They all had looks on their faces filled with such holiness, such passion for Jesus, it really made me smile and feel God's presence even more.

I am trying to read something from my bible each day and I flipped my bible open to the 119th Psalm. It is quite lengthy and I am stopping at different verses and making notes and filling my soul with God's goodness and nourishment. I hope you stop by Spiritual Sunday and visit with Charlotte and others who offer encouragement, humor and poems and other spiritually filling delights today.

I love domestic bliss but this week I will be on my own for the most part. The hubby has overtime starting tomorrow so I headed out to the grocery store in this wet, dreary weather to stock up so he can pack a nice healthy lunch this week. We usually shop together and I enjoy that but since I have been out of work, I do a lot of this stuff alone. It is just not as much fun! If you visit me frequently, you know I love Love is...I use to share this meme with other ladies but they all started doing different things. Lots of them are at Face Book and I prefer the more intimate setting here. Facebook gets too controversial for me and I leave the big stuff to God! I like to use FB for phamily and friends and I post lots of phamily photo over there too for my friends and phamily to see!

I hope you visit Sally and the Blue Crew today. I hope they notice all the blues I am sharing here including these google images that are beautifully detailed in blue.

Rose belongs to Nick. She is a Chicken Rangler! She will steal your chicken right from under your nose. She has taken entire boxes of chicken dinners, left the sides and demolished the chicken without leaving a trace except for bits of chicken telltale on her breathe as well as her whiskers. This has been going on since she was a kitten and this girl is 10 years old these days! We can not figure out where she is hiding those bones! So in honor of Sandee and all the participates of Aw...Monday here is Rose in all her green eyed glory! She is a real beauty and we love having her here with us.

We try not to indulge in this sinful fried ice cream but once and a while we can not resist. You can see some blue on the table at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. We are suppose to warm up to the 80s by Thursday but this cold, rainy weather is making me want hot tea so I am off to have a cup. Enjoy your day!
