Good Thursday Morning! Oh my goodness, what a day we had yesterday!
It was magical with cooler temperatures. Monday was nice; Tuesday the warmth backed up over us; Wednesday was cool; Thursday is here.
We don't have lots of trees that change the colors of their leaves. The Crepe Myrtle has a few different colors on it but most of our trees just drop all their leaves.
Fall is a time between Hot and Cold. And while temperatures drop below 100°, we will have days of 90's and days of 70's or somewhere inbetween... back and forth.
Fall is about College Football and Pumpkin Spice for me. But right now, we are giving thanks for cooler temperatures while praying for RAIN!
Guess who is coming to visit you today and spend the whole weekend with you?
The surprise is on you because I'm not home! I am off on a leaf hunt!
Hope your weekend will be full of fun and laughs!
You better enjoy the warm weather and go swimming before a cold front arrives next week. We might set a record of 96° on Sunday. My granddaughter had a pool party last night and they watched a movie on the screen at the end of the pool.
It is not often, very rare, that I have a tough day. However, today is one of those. It is a weepy day for me. We have a friend who lives in Tampa and told us they were not leaving.
I saw this post from Brad Barton and I am sharing it.
Attention
Every hour at the top of the hour please take a moment to Pray:
Father God, we humble ourselves before you & ask that you see to it that the schemes & plans of the enemy are cancelled . That no attempts by the forces of darkness to harm your precious creation, your children, your planet shall succeed.
We ask that you surround the State of Florida with a hedge of protection & that you expose all the plans & doers of wickedness and that only YOUR will and the agenda of Heaven be done on earth.
Monday, first day of a new week and the first Monday of October.
The sun is softly peeking in on most of you this morning. Flowers are still blooming this time of year.
Share some flowers with someone today. Do something wonderful for someone everyday.
It is all about loving each and every person just like God loves you.
Life is about finding joy in the simple actions and seeing joy all around you.
At the end of the day, can you look back and smile and not only count your blessings but the blessings you gave to others? Thank you for being my blessing!
I am just checking to make sure that the coast is clear. It is Tuesday after all.
Yes, it is also October! How did we already get here? Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years will be over in the blink of an eye.
I'm not going to lie, I am ready for Winter to be OVER. It is my least favorite or not a favorite at all.
Maybe I could just find a good place to hibernate until winter was over. Here I am stressing through winter when Fall isn't even staying in Texas right now.
Maybe if I don't mention the "W" word it will just skip us this year. But I guess we have to go through some things to see the reward that is next... Spring! ah!
I really shouldn't worry about what might come. Lord, let me just stop and count my Blessings and say Thank You!
It's a new week and almost a new month. Fall is hiding from us as we will be back in the low 90's all of this week.
I am praying for so many that lost family and friends and those that are still without power and much more. Let's give thanks for the blessings we still have.
Then ask the angels to be there for all that need help and need to feel loved.
Do what you can to help those in need and remember prayers really matter!
Oh what a beautiful Thursday and Friday it is in the DFW area.
The colors of Autumn are my most favorite colors!
Don't stay inside if you are having great temperatures. Get out and smell Fall.
It is a perfect day to go for a drive and maybe a pumpkin patch to find just the right ones.
Don't forget to share your love of this beautiful season and life with everyone you meet. Lots of Prayers for everyone in the path of the storm. I will see you on Saturday.
Tuesday is always a fun day. If we have any errands for the week we run them on Tuesday then pick up Tacos before we come back home.
Do you ever come home to this? We are blessed with our 3 smaller dogs for the most part.
Lots of times when we come home, Carly is outside staring up at the trees looking for squirrels.
Reba doesn't hear much anymore but Carly and J Lo love to bark especially when someone rings the doorbell.
None of our dogs are biters but our granddog, the 2-3 pound Lily, was known as "A Man Ankle Biter". Now she doesn't have many teeth left and has mellowed with age.
Very few dogs are perfect even though as their owners we like to think they are and the love we get from them is the best thing ever.
Monday has broken, like the first morning. Blackbird has spoken, like the first word. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning. Praise for the Fall!!! I know, now you will be singing that song all day! hehehe
Finally, Fall has shown up in Texas with Rain too. Our temperature is 75° and we have had over an inch of rain since just before 4 am.
I left the door open for Fall and the rainboots by the door just in case of a sudden downpour or a light sprinkle. And it worked!
Faith! I believed we would get rain! It worked!!!
Remember September, we didn't want you to leave without cooler weather so the leaves will begin to change colors and rain so fall plants will bloom. Yippee Yahoo!
Let's get this season started. After all, football is going strong! I have been outside for about 2 hours enjoying the rain.
Are you ready for Thankful Thursday? Do you have a list of things? I surely do!
Keep adding to that list and counting your Blessings every day. It grows much quicker than the Trials list.
Even if you think you have problems, God might change them into Blessings in the near future!
Rain can be a problem and or a Blessing. Maybe it isn't about you but your neighbor or your friend that needs it.
After all, look what happens after the rain is gone. It may take a week or two or a lifetime for God to show you the Blessings. Or you may never know because it was about someone else receiving the Blessing.
A smile is a nice way to start this Tuesday and every day until you realize...
You don't ever just ignore that feeling, do you? Me either!
But sometimes, I just get up and go outside to look at the flowers and talk to the critters.
I love to watch Hummingbirds with my iPad opened to my latest Kindle book.
Why does anyone want to clean inside when there is so much to see and do outside?
However, on days where the humidity is 90% (like yesterday), I might rush through a few inside chores so I can get back here on the computer just to see you and say...
