The Simple Woman's Daybook ~#58~ 12/21/09

For Today...

Outside my window...grey, "wanting-to-snow" skies; another 1/2" of snow on the ground. It's beginning to look alot like CHRISTmas.

I am thinking...that I can't believe CHRISTmas is almost here. I'm hoping the strains my mom has put on our family won't 'show' so much when we all get together.

I am thankful for...my wonderful husband who takes such good care of us, even when we have so little.

From the kitchen...lazagna & salad.

I am wearing...burgandy leggings & sweat shirt - it's COLD!

I am remembering…wonderful CHRISTmases past.

I am going…to take DD#2 to work.

I am reading..."Lies Women Believe"

I am hoping...for the peace of God to settle over my relatives so that there won't be so much strife.

On my mind…the passing of time.

I am creating...a peaceful home. Great memories for our little family.

I am hearing...the radio, DD#2 getting ready for work.

Noticing that…my attitude effects the attitudes of my whole family. If I greet them every mornig w/a smile, it goes a long way.

Pondering these words…"In as much as it depends on you, live in peace w/all men."

Around the house...CHRISTmas baking!

One of my favorite things...CHRISTmas baking! lol

A Scripture thought..."And Mary pondered all these things in her heart." ~Luke 2

A few plans for the rest of the week...last minute CHRISTmas 'doings', baking, DD#1 will be home for OUR family's little CHRISTmas doings on CHRISTmas Eve day, DH & I will be singing the special music at our CHRISTmas Eve service (!), CHRISTmas w/our extended families; tonight will the Alumni game w/the Miami Valley Saints - our awesome homeschool basketball team!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

A few favorites from our tree.
