Happy 🍁 October!

 Welcome y'all! 



Hello dear readers!

I apologize for leaving you for so long. Over the last three weeks, we've had out of town company, my two year old grandson spent a weekend with us, we started a new Bible study group, and about ten days ago, one of my family members had a medical emergency. He has been staying with us after returning from the hospital. He is getting the medical care that he needs. I would appreciate prayer for him. He is my eldest son.

During it all, I have been able to make great progress on these socks. They are a gift for my daughter. She loves fall as much as I do.


It is my hope that my life is going to calm down a little bit soon. I haven't even decorated for fall yet!

I woke this morning to a misty, cool, fall morning. Ah, a breath of fresh air before it gets hot again this weekend!
Maybe I'll pull out the fall  tote and begin my decorating Thursday.  I'm taking the day off. I'll try to write to y'all again, too.

For now, I've got to get back to work.  It's another busy day. May you lean into God and his Word as you seek Him daily.

Happy fall!

Enjoy my latest YouTube video.

Happy First Day of Fall!


Hello ladies! 


Happy Fall y'all. Just had to say it! 

It's been hot here in Southwest Missouri for a bit over a week. We had a little preview of lovely weather. But. Well. Missouri. I have hope for the future though! I may not get any fall weather today, but I'm going to seize the day for all it's worth! 

I'm so excited for this first day of Fall. It feels like summer, but I am going to burn a pumpkin candle, drink a cup of tea, close my eyes and make believe!

Be blessed!

Laura
Thrilled to be in what
I believe to be the most
wonderful time of the year!




First Day of Fall


Oh my goodness, how I am enjoying this first morning of fall. I'm sitting out here on my porch. I have the privilege of having today off from work. I'll be working later during the week, but right now I'm enjoying time alone. I'm listening to birds and a rooster that moved in down the street is celebrating the morning. It's just beautiful. 

The temperature is cool and crisp without being too cold. I actually need a sweater. It's delightful to feel chilly.

Fall as absolutely my favorite time of year. It's more of a new beginning than January. I suppose that's because of starting a new school year, looking forward to the holidays and then the winter.

Summer always seems like a bit of a winding down time for me; perhaps it's because the heat bothers me more than it used to.

I don't have any big plans for today.  I do have my brother-in-law visiting. That's why I don't have work today. I'll spend some time with him.

Presently, I'm enjoying a pumpkin spice Chai latte this morning on the front porch.

Ideally, I'd be going to a coffee shop with a friend this afternoon at 1:19 when we officially change to fall from summer; but, with company, I decided I'd better not.

This is very rambly, but I wanted to speak to you guys this morning and wish you a happy first day of fall.

God bless you.

My First YouTube Video

 


Hey y'all! 

 I just uploaded my first YouTube video. Is it polished? No. Is it edited? No. Is it from my heart?  Yes, it is.

I've been thinking about doing this for quite awhile. After Charlie's death, I realized that the time is now.

I'm not exactly sure what the channel will look like.

 What I do know is that you're going to get the real me just like you do here on the blog. I expect it will probably cover some of the same topics. What I do know is that I will be sharing my faith in Jesus Christ and offering to pray for people.

****

I invite you to watch it on YouTube; then, if you like what you hear, please like it and maybe share it.

If you want to hear more, please subscribe. 

I'm figuring this out as I go. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to embed this from my phone.

Will you please go to YouTube and watch it here

Thank you all for all the love and kindness you've shown me through the years.

Hugs!

Laura
