The Simple Woman's Daybook ~#129~ 7/26/11


For Today . . .

Outside my window . . .
a beautiful, sun-shiny day! Yesterday's rains brought the humidity down just a smidge; however . . . tomorrow is another day. :-P

I am thinking . . .
that I miss getting ready for homeschool to start, this time of year. We always took June, July & December off, so we started our school years the 1st Monday of August. We graduated our baby "baby" on 2006, can't believe it's been that long. {Read about DD#1's graduation HERE.}

I am thankful for . . .
reconnecting w/old friends on Facebook.

From the kitchen . . .
Tuesday is bread baking day, making a batch of homemade toothpaste. Just went to the farm stores this morning & got my milk & brown eggs. There's NOTHING like farm fresh . . . anything.

I am wearing . . .
jeans & DD#2's old Golden Angels homeschool volleyball Senior award t-shirt.

I am remembering . . . how blessed I am.

I am hoping . . .
for patience on the Lord's timing while waiting for answered prayer.

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

I am hearing . . .
radio, Maggie freaking out at the painters outside.

I am noticing . . . that the calmer I am when dealing w/mean people, the louder & angrier they become. "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control." ~Proverbs 29:11

Around the house . . .
College Painters painting our window sills & garage door, taking DD#2 to work, tackling the never-ending laundry, general clean up . . .

One of my favorite things . . .
church; listening to a good sermon.

Plans for this week . . . family time, work, worship practice, Sunday worship w/the saints!

Pondering these words . . .
"God has spoken, everything else is commentary."

Scripture thought . . . ". . . They [the Apostles] broke bread in their homes & ate together w/glad & sincere hearts, praising God & enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." ~Acts 2:46(b),47 [emphasis mine ~KW] They had the favor of the community; WHY does today's church NOT "enjoy the favor of the people"?

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

Farm fresh eggs

Farm fresh milk ~ can you see the line in each jug where the cream separates from the milk? Mmmmm~

  1. I wish I could get fresh milk from someone in my area! I to enjoy my fresh eggs though. We strive to make our little church more like the 1st century church. Gather, a "sermon" is given with open discussion whenever anyone wants to share. often times we end up at a local restaurant for lunch. But you are right, the community does not revere the "church".
