Good Sunday Morning Dear Fellow Bloggers~~~
I am so sorry that I haven't been the best about my blogging abilities lately. Sometimes life just catches up and before you know it another week has gone by, leaving me questioning where it went!
I have been busy, needless to say, but then I have been dealing with the unexpected nuisance of allergies. My husband and I went out for a motorcycle ride on Thursday evening. The weather had been so beautiful, but, little did I realize that the pollen was so incredibly high and EVERYWHERE.
I normally don't have allergies, but I am guessing because of the major assault to my upper respiratory tract, (like a powerwasher blowing in my face and up my nose), that it was plenty enough to cause major irritation to my throat, sinuses, and eyes. By Friday morning, I was very congested and puffy. By Saturday, much the same but more sneezing and a scratchy throat. You know it was bad, especially since I didn't even go to a VINTAGE garage sale advertised on the next street over! I was afraid all of the stuff would be so dusty, that it would irritate my situation further. Besides, I just didn't have the "umph" in me to get moving.
So today is Sunday, and I am feeling better...still sneezing and the throat a little scratchy, but nowhere as congested as I was.....
It is rainy and cool today, and we are suppposed to go to church at 10:30, but I am staying home to read my bible instead. I am currently in 1 Samuel, as I am reading the bible in a year. It is AMAZING, and further reminds me of the unquestionable forgiveness, love, and patience the Lord has for those who truly trust and believe in Him. It also reminds me of His angels who are constantly ministering and protecting me. They must be an awesome sight to see in their full glory, however they can, and have, ministered in the form of humans....
This scripture, and many other instances in the bible, remind me of that-
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for some have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2.
Isn't that amazing?
I am hoping you have a wonderful and blessed week, dear blogging friends!

I love that verse! I am sure I have even met some angels in Blog Land ; - ) Rosie
Amen & Amen. Hope you feel better as the week goes on. Sometime when I feel bad or down I just remember what a miracle God performed in me, by saving my soul. Just by bowing a knee and confusing he is Lord our lives are transformed, all because of his grace.
Thank you for blessing me, with your visits, to my blog. I can't wait to see what other wonderful things, you're going to post.
Hugs, RoseMarie
Hope you are feeling better soon!
Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Hi Ruth, sorry to hear you were not feeling good; such a pleasant trip should have been a fun thing, not an event for allergies…. But hopefully you are feeling much better now. Thank you for stopping by my house in the roses, I would love to see a photograph of your favorite dessert at our “Dessert Carnival”. Everything is this house is so lovely, I’m pretty sure a dessert coming from you is another thing of beauty to see.
Have a lovely day

hello! I hope youre recovered from your allergy attack by now.. I dont have allergys, but I watch my husband and daughter suffer with them every year.
Youre such a faithful girl reading your bible. I too love that verse. I try to remember verses like that when I'm dealing with some of the people I deal with at work.. that I would rather not deal with!
I need the reminder now and then! perfect timing dear...

I love Hebrews 13:2. I love to have others in my home and that verse reminds me that breaking bread with others is what God intended. Cindy

I am sure you are feeling better by now...sometimes allergies are adult onset...that happened to my hubby who now has to mow the lawn with a surgical mask (leading us to call him lawn doc!)
Hi Holly,

Enjoy, Suzy
Hi, Sweet Holly Berry....I just am stopping by to say how much I like you and that I feel like we are old friends....If I could, I would take you for lunch tomorrow and buy you a pretty rose...just for being you! You've always been so kind to me and helped me a lot with decorating ideas and just being helpful in all ways....and always so encouraging.
Many thanks, friend,
