January Blues In The Sunshine Cottage

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Sunshine Cottage

Happy Monday sweet friends. I hope you all are enjoying the long holiday weekend! Many of you received snow, we only received a cold rain. It is a good day to stay inside and enjoy my snickerdoodle coffee.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
‭‭Micah‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley!

Our common theme for this edition of Monday Morning Blooms is January Blues. Many people, including my husband, say their least favorite month is January. I don’t have a least favorite month. Once all of the Christmas decor is put away and my house gets a thorough cleaning, January is the perfect time to just be still.READ MORE

Happy Tuesday sweet friends. I have not posted a “this & that” since last June. I think it is time to catch up!

“Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.”
Psalm 51:6

I enjoy sharing all things beautiful with you dear readers. But, I also enjoy sharing some of the day to day stuff…you know, the everyday living! The blog serves as a personal journal that hopefully one day my grandchildren will read. Warning: this post might contain photos of the three wonderful blessings that we call “grands”.

Why did I start out with a Monday Morning Blooms photo from a couple of years ago?READ MORE

Happy Thursday sweet friends. I hope the first week of the new year is off to a good start. Several have asked if we received snow on Monday. There was snow accumulation all around us, even in our county, but we received zero. I was hoping because it is a big deal to see the white stuff in Alabama.

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭34:8‬
