Thursday‘s Travel Day

 Hey Friends,

We traveled to Alabama yesterday. Thank God we had a great travel day! I never want to forget to be thankful for a smooth travel day. We really do thank the Lord for protection and for going with us. 

We left the Beach Cottage in the morning. By lunchtime, we were near Nashville. We stopped in Franklin, TN, for a couple of hours. 

Our lunch at J Alexanders was scrumptious!

Our visit with family was even better! Aunt Lily, Sonya and Becky took time out of their busy day at home to meet us!

We greatly enjoyed catching up with them. It was good to get hugs, I  love any chance we can see them.

Then it was back to the road. We were hoping to make the whole trip yesterday. Once we lost an hour in traffic in the evening, we decided it was time to stop for the day. Today will be a much shorter travel day. 

See you tomorrow.

Away We Go

 Hey Friends, 

All is well! We are on the road to Mississippi. Yesterday was a full day of packaging and trip prep.

I forgot to get a post ready for today.

This morning, as I was getting in the car, I remembered my blunder. 

Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you in advance! We are anticipating a great trip. 

I will leave you with a couple of pics from lunch yesterday. It was good to spend a few hours with Mamaw and Papaw. 

Bye for now.

Morgan Family September 2026

 Hey Friends, 

I hope you are doing great. We are in prep mode. We will be heading to Mississippi tomorrow. 

Saturday, Mom and I spent the day in Hillsboro. It was good to catch up with some of our family. It is a busy season, so I am thankful to see my family. 

I snapped some pictures. I hope you enjoy a peek into our family time. 

Gran and Papaw came to visit us yesterday. Here are a few pics from lunch and Sam's Club. 

Thank you for reading.

Testimony Time 9/29/26

 Hey Friends,

The Lord has been building my faith. I know God answers prayers daily. Some we see answered, and some we may not witness with our eyes. 

I still want to thank God for answering our prayers! He is still working miracles! I want to always strive for an attitude of gratitude. 

In the midst of the valley, He is good. He is always worthy of our praise. Today I am pausing to say thank you to Heavenly Father!

I have a couple of testimonies of how God has worked in my life.

Earlier in the year, I went to the eye doctor for my checkup. This was my first time seeing a new eye doctor. I went through some of the normal testing. 

My new doctor was concerned about some of the results. She said they were worse than the previous results. I was a little worried, but I was somewhat certain that everything was okay. 

Somehow, the person operating the machine and I could not get on the same page. I really struggled with the test. I decided to put it all in God's hands. He has given me my sight, and I know that He can continue to take care of me. My eye doctor decided that, before referring me to a specialist, I needed to come back in to redo the test.

Well, that appointment was in early February. After that, I never heard another thing. I decided no news was good news. 

Last week, I called to check when I needed another follow-up appointment. The doctor herself called me back and told me that the February test results were stable compared to other tests. Thank you, dear Jesus, for giving me peace of mind and working in that situation for me! I also thank some of you who have prayed for me concerning this matter. 

Also, last Sunday night, storms rolled into our area. We really didn't expect them to turn severe. Shortly after I got home from church, I received a weather alert on my phone. 

We were under a tornado warning. The tornado wasn't on the ground, but the radar indicated a very high chance of a tornado. When I turned on the coverage, they told people near my location to take cover. It appeared to be a very powerful storm headed in my direction. 

I am so thankful for my safe space in my home. I knew exactly where to go. But even more than that, I knew that I could call the Master of the storm. He was with me in my safe room. All I could do was put my life in His hands.

The storm dissipated, and the warning expired. We had to stay weather-aware for a while! I was so grateful that the storm did not develop into something more serious. Thank you, dear Jesus, for looking out for your children. 

I want to leave you with yesterday's verse of the day from my Bible app. As I read this scripture a few different times, my soul rejoiced. I am a blessed person! Friend, you are too!

Happy Birthday Uncle Tommy 2026

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for spending a moment of your time with me. Today, we are celebrating a birthday. 

It is my Uncle Tommy’s birthday. I am probably going to be in trouble with him over this. He likes the background. 

Hey, this is my corner of the World Wide Web. I want to shout out the birthday boy. He is my uncle, and I love him. 

Happy Birthday, Tommy. I hope you have a great day and feel extra loved! 

Thank you for always being there when I need you. We appreciate all of your help with yard work and other stuff.

Sunday Sanity 9/27/26

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Let's go to church and see what God has in store for us today. 

I have something for you to ponder. This nuggets of sanity landed right in my heart. It took up residency in my thoughts. 

Bro. Andrew Blevins made this statement last month in a message. Every day, I remind myself of his words. 

“Today's blessings might be meant to get us through tomorrow’s crisis”

I need more of God to make through the days ahead. He has bestowed daily blessings on my life. Thank you, God, for my daily bread and benefits!

Thank you for reading.

 Hey Friends,

This morning, I was thinking about a smile. A smile may not always be easy! I know from experience, it helps to brighten the here and now. 

I want this to be a safe place that encourages you to smile. On some Saturdays I am going to share things that have caused me to smile. Maybe it will make your day better too.

So let’s smile more!!!! 😁

I read this recently, and I had to laugh! This is so much like me. 😂 Please tell me I am not alone?

See you tomorrow.

Odie’s Family Friends And Food Fun

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by on this cool fall day. Happy fall, y'all. It has been feeling fallish around here this week. We actually turned on the heat to warm up a bit last night. 

Here are a handful of pictures I have taken recently. These are on my camera roll and have not made it to the blog. 

I have enjoyed being home lately, which has given me time to catch up with family and friends. Usually, yummy food is involved. 

In closing, Saturday’s scheduled event was canceled. More info available HERE.

See you tomorrow.

Schedule Change!

Hey Friends,

ATTENTION 

SCHEDULED 

CHANGE!

Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, the Fall Gospel Sing at Dodds Church has been canceled. I just advertised it yesterday. Plans had to change. 

There will now be a funeral there on Saturday. Sis. Jean Eaton, a founding member of the church, finished her earthly race yesterday morning. She lived a long life. In her 90-plus years, she served faithfully. 

Please pray for her family and church family! Everyone will miss her greatly! 

Bro. Lloyd Eaton is missing his bride of nearly 77 years. He faithfully, lovinly cared for her all the way! He definitely needs prayer!

Sis. Jean was a precious lady! I was blessed to call her my friend! We rejoice because her earthly struggles ended yesterday. She fought long and hard. Now she has reached her Heavenly goal. 

Aunt Eva Isaacs

Please pray for our family on the Isaacs side. My Mamaw's sister-in-law passed yesterday. We were not expecting to get the news about our sweet Aunt Eva. 

Her children, grandchildren and large extended family are extremely heartbroken! They are a tight-knit group. She was their glue. 

My heart aches desperately for both of these families!! I know prayer to our awesome, loving and comforting God is what will sustain them!

Thank you for reading.

Sunday Sanity 9/2O/26

 Hey Friends,

Here is a little nugget to help us keep our sanity. I have kept this in my notes all year. 

Bro. Jon Isaacs made this statement during revival at DRPC. 

"Fault finding is faith killing."

Pastor Jon Isaacs 

Grace Fellowship 

Elba, Alabama 

I do not want to kill faith by finding fault in people or my current circumstances. My goal is to be a faith builder and not a killer! So this is a great reminder to check my attitude daily. 

God bless you!
