Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy Monday everyone! 

Join Sandra and others for Happy Homemaker Monday at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

The weather

It's sunny! Woo hoo!

Right now I am

Resting up still, sat on the sofa eating cherries and drinking honey and lime juice, waiting for this interminable flu to end. I am so ready to feel health again. The fevers have totally gone but now just congestion and an awful cough. But rest is the answer.

Thinking and pondering

How annoying it is that I can't do all the things I want to do! I missed Bookclub yesterday and I was very mad about that. There are so many jobs around the house I want to do and in the garden. But sometimes God allows illness to force us to rest, so I'm tryyyyyying to be good 😂

How I am feeling

Positive, despite the icky flu. Gotta stay cheerful people. Speak positivity to yourself.

On the breakfast & lunch plate

Blackberries, walnuts, oats, dried cranberries and sultanas with yogurt.

Probably going to have falafels with houmous and guacamole and a bit of salad.

What I am wearing

Still in my jammies...but I have nowhere to go so why not? 😂

Keeping me company while I've been sick 🩷

Devotional, prayers, Bible verses

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen

The night has passed, and the day lies open before us; 
let us prayer with one heart and mind.

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.

Morning prayer, Advent, Monday, 8 December 2025.

Have a beautiful day and week!
