Do Over!

Today is a new day.  A great day to start over.  This has been a great week.  John and I worked on projects we love.  John has been busy outside planting and preparing. His steps are slow and he often stumbles to get from one place to the next.  I have been working on junk journals and little ones as give always.  
The meat loaf was a success.  That is a Do Again!  I saved some bacon to garnish my salad with today. I have lost 5 pounds this last week.  I am not as hungry and that is super great. Maybe in a week or so, I can start moving more.
Joey is off today. 
Lots to do today!
Be blessed my friends.

Good Morning!

The call from the smell of coffee has captured the moment and drawn me to the front porch. It is suppose to be warm day and I certainly would not want to miss that. The birds are sweetly chirping songs of welcome.
Joey came at 2 a.m. He has a busy day and than some fishing to end the day. He loves his job and his boss loves to fish. We need anew front door lock, so I have to get up to open it.
I cleaned and did some laundry this morning.
My little art corner called me to make a few tags and embellish some covers. A little nap and now I am ready to enjoy some evening air.
My brother, Mike text me to share his mother-n-law died. He will call me with the details later. Also my sister is having back surgery tomorrow. I will send her a card tomorrow. We use to be close but she hates our President and I love him. She also told me not to ask people to pray for her. I will spendy time in prayer tonight. My God is so faithful. I trust His plans.
I am going to say good night for now.
Have a peaceful rest.
My ink flows with love.
Love, Mary Kay

Good Morning.

The days are speeding by. I once was 72, but now I am 74.
I have had and still live a wonderful life. Most days are centered around my love for Christ and trusting Him. I continue to learn and attempt to walk with Him.

The virus is leaving and I am thankful for that. This has been a test and so far I believe I have passed it.

Pray for my son-n-law, he is about to go through a bone marrow procedure.  They have to see if his brother is a match. They will know more Monday.
Also pray for Gail.  She is the sister of one of my neighbors that moved.
Many people are struggling with results of the virus and economy.  Keep President Trump's spirits high.  Touch the hearts of the press.  I pray Trump will be reelected.

This was a great day.  John and I went to the bank and Sam's in San Marcos.

I have worked hard to eat better and stick with low carbs.  I want to buy an insulated lunch sack to carry with me. Extra water and a container of snacks would have been good today.  I want a Pioneer Woman bag.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
                                                             Proverb 3:6
My eye lids are heavy.  I will say goodnight for now.
My your dreams be sweet and loving.
My ink flows in love.

Good Morning!

The sun is shining through the window. Pray the air will warm up.
This is my favorite time of the day. The house is quiet and the coffee is warm.  I am still grounded! That is what my son says. The virus is starting to take its toll on people. I love staying home and always have little projects to accomplish.

The grocery list for my daughter is ready. We are reconnecting after a long season of a distant relationship.  God is good and used the virus for good in the time of great stress.  My son-n- law has been very ill.  Their only grocery store burned to the ground and they are in the midst of planning a wedding. She ordered groceries on line and was given a week long wait without many of the items. Her brother, Joey works at a grocery store just down the road from us.  He will take the list and purchased what he thinks she might like.  We meet her half way and blessed her with the groceries.  She wanted to pay me, but I told her, our love was not for sale.  We will do it again to help them out.  This time it is mostly can goods and a few surprises.  My heart is overjoyed to help her. I serve a Mighty God!
My son, Joey is a meat cutter.  He has taken great care of us.  I love my children.
I have so much to share about God's Amazing Grace!  He is the Miracle Maker!

"And he took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.' 
                                               Luke 22:19 NIV
Jesus was always sharing!

Have a beautiful day!  Pray for the sick and broken.  Praise Him and thank him for all he does.
My ink flows with love.

It's almost Sunday! Christ continues to suffer. His blood flows on and on. A bitter sweet gift. I shall forever be grateful. Without Christ, I am nothing.
Happy Easter!

Greetings.

I have been thinking all day; why this day is called "Good Friday."so many thoughts! I invisioned Christ riding a young unbroken donkey into a crowd of people that loved him. Singing, shouting and desiring a touch or just a word from him. Just down the road the crowd changed. Accusing him, shouting hate and wanting to see him dead. The blood was flowing for us. He carried his own cross and prepared to forgive us of all our sins. What a journey! It was the greatest journey of all. It was a "Good Friday."

Due to the virus, we will stay home. A true family day!
Sunday is coming!

I remember the Easter, my daughter cut a big hole in her brand new dress. She wanted a pocket. Those days are all in the past.

I have filled baskets, colored eggs and hide them in the past!
Now I just want to be still and listen for the sounds of mountains moving.

Maybe tomorrow, I will have more time to blog.
I have so much to share.
Be blessed!
Putting the ink down until tomorrow.

Love, Mary Kay

Good Morning!

It is almost 4 a.m. Dawn hasn't even peeked through the sky.
