Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...Sunshine! Beautiful glorious SUNSHINE! 

Thank you Lord!

I am thinking...I have a lot to do today.

 I am thankful...for a part time job that I only work three days a week at.

In the kitchen...clean dishes on counter ready to be put away.

I am wearing...work out pants and a polo shirt.

I am creating...scripture dolls and pillows.

I am going...to the grocery store to buy some chicken and than heading down to the local fruit stand to buy fresh produce. Come home and clean up for the week end rush around here.

I am wondering...if I will work in the yard today.

I am reading...Walking on water and and The best of A.W Tozer.

I am hoping...that the husband finishes up a job today so that he can slow a little this week end.

I am looking forward to...a couple lunch dates and coffee with some friends coming up and a BUNKO party.

I am learning...leave it at the alter and then turn around and walk away from it...one step at a time...this journey never ends. Thank-you Lord.

Around the house...right now it is calm and quiet...so peaceful. I enjoy being home and thankful to a husband who promotes it. So thankful.

I am pondering...finishing up some last loads of laundry, hmmm....

A favorite quote for today...Sometimes, when someone exits your life, they're doing you a favor, they leave an empty space for someone who deserves to be there.

One of my favorite things...alone and down time.

A few plans for the rest of the week: a study on Woman of the bible, meeting up with an old time friend for coffee and chit chat, hair cut, d-clutter a long over due closet, gardening and prepare for a dinner party.

A picture thought...

The Simple Woman Daybook / Simple Devotion

FOR TODAY....... December 18, 2008



Outside my window...Snowing outside right now and everything is as white as can be,...very peaceful.



I am thinking...How wonderful it is to be loved and in love.



I am thankful for...a content heart.



From the kitchen...I am making three more Dark Chocolate cake mixes for my Snowman bag gifts and also am making up some potato soup mixes for gift bags as well. No dinner in the oven, going over to mom and dads tonight for oysters.



I am wearing...A grey volleyball Champion sweat shirt that Alison gave me, dark blue sweat pants, my Pug socks and some warm slippers.



I am creating...the rest of my snowman gift bags. I need to sew them up and iron each one.



I am going...No where today. Going to stay inside and work on my projects and then clean up.



I am reading...Gods and Kings by Austin



I am hoping...That Elliot makes it back home safe from Kelsey's house.



I am hearing...Alan Jackson is singing Christmas music to me from my living room,...OK so it's a CD.



Around the house...It is tidy and warm and very much decorated for Christmas. There is fake snow that I throw on my Christmas tree that I think the dog got on my living room carpet...so I will vacuum that up later. I think he is snooping around the tree for his gifts.



One of my favorite things...Just being caught up around here and working on my projects.



A few plans for the rest of the week: I will wrap up a few gifts and make up a few more gift cards. Start thinking about getting things ready for Christmas dinner, need to make a trip over to Costco and Trader Joe's sometime this week as well.


Here are a couple picture thoughts I am sharing...

I have really enjoyed the Simple Woman Daybook and now she is doing a devotional as well so thought I'd put these two together for my blog. If you are interested in joining in, just go to her site and follow her instructions and sign on with her.

For Today...Dear Lord,I bring you my shortcomings... Help me Lord to slow down a little and see all that is around me that I so often take for granted. I want to see you Lord for who you want me to see you as and worship you the way you want me to worship you. Put those in my life that will help me to grow nearer to you yet help me not to linger on that mountain to long and miss out on someone walking by who might need some warm light in their life as well.

I bring you my worship and praise... You alone are all any of us need, Lord. You fill those dark deep voids in our lives if only we open up and allow you in to do so. The very fact that you hold the key to our lives, yet you always knock and wait on us Lord...you are Awesome!

I bring you my prayer... I pray Lord that you continue to place people in my life to help keep me focused on you and your truth, yet keep me strong when others need a caring hand or your word shared. Continue to help me to be in this world yet not a part of it.

You spoke to me...Last night several times starting with the Christmas Sweater Production and your gentle peaceful snow fall last night in my front yard. I heard your message Lord, that there are always going to be storms in our lives, and I can choose to stand in that storm alone or I can stand it with you. Thank you for that.
