A Simple Woman's Day Book

FOR TODAY December 14. 2011 Wednesday

Outside my window ...
I see the signs of winter!

I am thinking...

I so dislike changes.  The TV cable man
is coming today to hook up our HD
and switch our internetto the cable
company ... new things to learn and
new things for Dick to try and learn!

I am thankful ...

for a God who loves and forgives
me over and over again.

From the kitchen...

plans to bake a pumpkin pie this afternoon!

I am creating...

a home filled with the love of God!

Bible Reading with my husband, Dick for today...

Philippians  2:1-16

God's *PEARL* for me today from the bible reading ...

A small pearl from all we read to day!  I must look at
each person as better than me.  I must look into their
lives and see their secret hurts, pains and suffering
so all my animosity will evaporate and I can be filled
with love and compassion for them.  I am to learn
how to truly be a servant and do all things without
complaining or wishing for something different.
I want to move to the valley to be near my family and
better medical assistance, but I need to let God work
this out in His time and learn to live here with joy
and knowing that He has me here for a reason.  WOW
this book should just be read a verse at a time!!!
Thank you God for your Word!!!

Quote for today...

"The course of true love never did run smooth."
William Shakespeare

Green Smoothie for today...

My all time favorite.

One of my favorite things...

enjoying the fresh scent of the sea as I walk!

.

A few plans for the rest of the day:

a bath for Pebbles.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Oh, I don't really mean that ... but God help

me continue on a healthy path of weight loss.

A Simple Woman's Day Book

FOR TODAY December 13. 2011 Tuesday

Outside my window ...
the skies are still bright and sunny!

I am thinking...

of how much I am going to enjoy my sister,
Shirley and her husband Doug when they
come to visit on thursday ... life is good!

I am thankful ...

for a the lovely gift my sister Juanita sent!

From the kitchen...

the smell of Taco Soup simmering!

I am creating...

a festive and happy home to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Bible Reading with my husband, Dick for today...

Philippians 1:27-30

God's *PEARL* for me today from the bible reading ...

Again so much in just a few verses.  When I read this before, I was
so aware of how Jesus had to rely on God and the Holy Spirit for
all that he did as he walked the earth, not on himself and his divine powers.
  This time it again sparkedthe same awesome feeling.  But today
I felt mores strongly led to the later verses that talked about times
of trouble when I am under the attack of the Enemy I am to have a
single mind - Christ, knowingthat whatever comes my way will be
used by Him to my good and for His glory.  The attack proves that 
I am making an impact and the enemy sees me as a worthy target;
the attack provides an opportunity to show my faith in Christ;
makes me know thatI am still on the right road, that the process of
God working in my life is real and active.

Quote for today...

"There is no remedy for love but to love more."
Henry David Thoreau

I am hearing...

The silence - Dick went for a ride and I love the quiet!

Green Smoothie for today...

Strawberry, banana and romaine!

One of my favorite things...

family coming to visit!!!!

.

A few plans for the rest of the day:

going out to check the motor home, then load garbage
in the pickup to haul later this week.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

My precious Mom ... oh how I miss you.  It has been just

a few days over 5 years that you went to live with Jesus

and at times I feel you so close.  Know that I love you

dearly and always!
