The Simple Women's Daybook ~#173~ 12/10/12

For today . . . 

Outside my window . . . grey skies, cold winds, rain. Possible snow flurries tonight. I'm ready for real snow.

I am thinking . . . that I can't believe we are so close to CHRISTmas. Where has this year gone?

I am thankful . . . for a warm, cozy home on this cold, cold day.

From the kitchen . . . reuben sandwiches.

I am wearing . . . jeans, navy blue turtle-neck shirt, grey cardigan sweater.

I am creating . . . a peaceful, CHRIST-centered home.

I am going . . . to run some errands.

I am wondering . . . when & how?

I am hoping . . . soon.

I am reading . . . the Celtic Folklore Cooking cookbook.

I am looking forward to . . .Wednesday.

I am learning . . . that "necessity is the mother of invention."

Around the house . . . general pick-up & cleaning, putting out a few more CHRISTmas decorations that are not yet out.

One of my favorite things . . . our CHRISTmas tree.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . family time, work, worship practice, gift shopping . . .

A favorite quote for the day . . . "Well, isn't this just a geographical oddity? Two weeks away from everywhere!" - Everett from O Brother Where Art Thou. I crack up every time I watch this.

Scripture thought . . . "I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are My servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand . . . I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand." ~Isaiah 41:9,10; 42:6(a) God is active & attentive in our lives.


A picture thought for you . . .
