The Simple Woman's Daybook ~#139~ 10/18/11


For Today . . .

Outside my window . . .
a little grey, but it just makes the colors of the trees stand out that much more.

I am thinking . . .
why do some people have a propensity toward drama & then want to drag their extended family into it w/them? *sigh*

I am thankful for . . . having the balance of more common sense than "book larnin'"; & for the work of missionaries.

From the kitchen . . .
Tuesday is bread baking day. Dirty rice sounds good for today.

I am wearing . . .
jeans, black tank top under a gray cardigan sweater.

I am creating . . .
a peaceful Christ-centered home.

I am going . . . to take DD#2 to work, run by the farm & get some milk, putter around the house, go to work.

I am wondering . . .
about resolving an issue.

I am reading . . .
The Story & The Heart of the Story ~ Bible study for church.

I am hoping . . . that we can do some home repairs soon.

I am looking forward to . . .
hearing, "Well done, good & faithful servant."

I am hearing . . .
the radio, typing fingers, DD#2 puttering around the house.

Around the house . . .
general pick-up, cleaning, baking, laundry . . .

One of my favorite things . . . my hubbie's beautiful hazel eyes.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . .
family time, work, worship practice, worship w/the saints on Sunday.

Pondering these words . . .
Faith is not passed on from parents to children; it is demonstrated, chosen & then lived out generation by generation. (KW<><)

Scripture thought . . . "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul & with all your mind.' This is the first & greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law & the Prophets hang on these two commandment.'" ~Matt. 22:37-40 ~~The WHOLE LAW is summarized in: 1) love God, 2) love people.

Here's a picture thought I'm sharing with you . . .

  1. I have to say : I don't know why other people like to drag there drama onto others..I find them very sad people...to live that way..And I have rejected many of being in my life...I prefer to find Gratitude in my Day....
    ~~HUGS~~

  2. Perhaps the drama happens because they have no idea yet of letting it go, trusting the Lord, and all shall be answered. Maybe not in an instant or month or year. But trust in the Lord to give us not more than we can bear. And yes, sometimes the Lord's opinion of us will be higher than ours. That is where faith comes in!
