Thank you, Joyce, for this week's questions. They were food for thought. Jump over to From This Side of the Pond to see how she and others answered these questions. How would you answer them?
2. How often do you shop for clothes? What accessory do you always wear?
I do not enjoy shopping, so I rarely go into a store to just look and shop, unless I need something specific. The most recent items have been purchased online.
I always wear a pair of earrings and a bracelet, and when it is not charging overnight, I wear an Apple watch.
3. What's something free that you feel grateful for?
Grace is free to me, but it cost my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, His life. I will forever be grateful for the gift of salvation because I am so unworthy.
4. Breakfast, lunch, dinner...which meal of the day do you enjoy most? What's your go-to comfort food?
Breakfast! I do not normally eat breakfast unless we eat out. It is our favorite eat-out meal, and we enjoy meeting friends mid-morning on Saturdays.
5. This week, the world remembers the tragic events of 9/11. Do you mark the day in any way? How do historical events shape your perspective on your personal challenges?
We do not mark the day in any way specifically, other than being grateful that our precious Ginger's life was spared on that day.
I don't know that historical events shape my perspective other than to allow these events to serve as a reminder that a sovereign God is in control. He knows my needs and has a plan.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
In 2 Chronicles 20, God gave King Jehoshaphat the following instructions for dealing with a huge challenge in his life, and this is how I seek to face personal challenges as well.
The battle is the Lord's!
Don't be afraid or discouraged
Face the battle or challenge - don't ignore it
Position yourself where God wants you - in His will
Stand still - don't try to solve it on your own
Watch what God will do!
Then worship and praise Him for what He has done or is continuing to do
Wait for the blessings!
Speaking of blessings, you are invited to hop over to my previous blog covering the past 60 years of our marriage. Warning: Picture overload.

I have not had a minute to look at your anniversary pictures and post, but I'm going to definitely get there at some point! Congratulations on 60 years!! I almost said something about the sovereignty of God in my answer about 9/11. For those with their faith and trust in Him it's such a comfort.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your answers. I could go for some scrambled eggs and sausage. I will never forget 9/11. Could not leave the TV. I didn't know that about Ginger. Thank you for sharing the Bible verse. Enjoy the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteHappy 60th anniversary - that is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I liked your answers especially #3 and #6. It’s always encouraging and refreshing to see Christians who aren’t afraid to share the word of God.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your answers! I am with you on not usually eating breakfast but breakfast food sure is good. I particularly liked your answers to five and six. I've been heart sick over the murder of Charlie Kirk. I know he's in heaven and God is in control but the events of today are shocking and sad to me.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Libby...I apologize for such a late comment. I had such heaviness on my heart yesterday and sorrow for our Country..I just had to wait until today to do my commenting. I really appreciate you comments in your #6. Thank you for sharing.. Blessings to you for a wonderful day.
