FOR TODAY, June 1st, 2021

Outside my window ...

Its overcast. I think we are in for some rain. It really tipped it down last night.

I am thinking ...

However have we gotten to the month of June? It doesn't seem possible that we are somehow halfway through the year and yet, here we are! 

I am thankful for ...

There is not much I am not thankful for!  That spells a happy life.  Gratitude is the key.

In the kitchen ... 

 

BLT Chicken Salad.  Built for two and its delicious!

I am reading ... 

 

Ruth, a novel, by H. B. Moore

Master storyteller and best-selling author H. B. Moore brings to life the biblical account of Ruth as never before in this vivid retelling of her courageous and faithful life. 

 Following the death of Ruth's husband, she finds herself at a crossroads. Rather than return to her family and hometown, the young widow makes a remarkable decision: she will remain with her mother-in-law, Naomi, as her caretaker and companion. 

 Together, the two widows boldly leave behind the lives they knew in the land of Moab and make their way to Bethlehem, arriving downtrodden and destitute. Though Ruth works day and night to provide for Naomi, it is ultimately through the kindness and generosity of Boaz that the two women find respite from their trials. As Ruth comes to know Boaz, she finds that her broken heart is beginning to heal in ways she could never have imagined. But when a question of inheritance threatens any hope of a life with Boaz, Ruth may have to give up the last piece of her heart in order to secure her future. 

Ruth has always been one of my favorite women in the bible. I am loving this book so far.  The author brings the characters to life beautifully. 

I am looking forward to ...

Going to my sister's tomorrow to celebrate Dan's birthday with homemade lasagne and chocolate birthday cake!

looking back strains the neck muscles,

causes you to bump into people not going your way.
