Day ONE?? or One DAY + Happy 1st Homemaker Monday of June

What a YEAR we're having...

time is flying by...

it's

*****

I've had some reflections these past few weeks... mainly regarding the in-law situation. A newborn that was a big secret and an even bigger surprise, a BIL that continues to complain about having to do 'Adult - Parent' duties...a SIL that now after saying NO to helping us with her brother' pending __fill in the blank___health issues then gave the Mr a check [no I'm not keeping it, yes I'm stubborn], one nephew graduated 8th grade and we were told a couple hours prior to the celebration, and finally the oldest nephew wants us to pay for his Church Camp?? I can't even...

I made my decisions 😉 !

Enough of all that, let's link up with Sandra for this 1st Monday of the New Month JUNE!!

Psalm 84 (HCSB)

Longing for God’s House

1 How lovely is Your dwelling place,

Lord of Hosts.

2 I long and yearn

for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and flesh cry out for[a] the living God.

3 Even a sparrow finds a home,

and a swallow, a nest for herself

where she places her young—

near Your altars, Lord of Hosts,

my King and my God.

4 How happy are those who reside in Your house,

who praise You continually.Selah

5 Happy are the people whose strength is in You,

whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,[b]

they make it a source of springwater;

even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.[c]

7 They go from strength to strength;

each appears before God in Zion.

8 Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer;

listen, God of Jacob.Selah

9 Consider our shield,[d] God;

look on the face of Your anointed one.

10 Better a day in Your courts

than a thousand anywhere else.

I would rather be at the door of the house of my God

than to live in the tents of wicked people.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield.

The Lord gives grace and glory;

He does not withhold the good

from those who live with integrity.

12 Happy is the person who trusts in You,

Lord of Hosts!

After church we went to our normal lunch drive thru of Lee's original chicken sliders...not sure exactly ''when'' we started this tradition, but it takes the guess work out of what we're having AND it's quick & easy.

*****

A very small Kroger shopping adventure after lunch to use specific coupons on meat & frozen veggies...🤔 thinking 🤔 I'm the only person I know already fall/winter planning !!

A blog post story is coming this week regarding the roof --

Rolled whatever 🠋 caused 🠋

all this rotting along the backside of the porch sitting area.
Oh, yea it's happening...Stay Tuned.

For now, I'm going to finish this post and enjoy what's left of the pleasant temps outside...Tomorrow is the 1st day of a new Month & the 1st Monday of the Month.
