Simple Woman's Daybook


FOR TODAY Monday, April 27, 2009...
Outside my window...it's a beautiful sunny day. The weather around here has been gorgeous (and feeling a bit more like early summer than spring). :)
I am thinking of ...waking my girls up and trying to decide if we should try to go strawberry picking this morning (when it's cooler) and do seatwork in the afternoon or vice versa.
I am thankful for...a wonderful church home where God's Word is preached and taught.
From the learning rooms...we're trying to work on our normal schoolwork for the first half of the week. The last half will be spent on real life schooling - a speech and debate tournament.
From the kitchen...due to above mentioned tournament, meals in the latter part of the week will be up in the air since we won't be home as normal. However, our tentative meal plans this week include turkey loin, lemon chicken, spaghetti, sandwiches/whatever, stirfry chicken, and a night out to celebrate R's 10th birthday. :)
I am wearing...p.j.'s - hopefully will be changing that soon. :)
I am creating...tomorrow I'll probably be doing our bread baking for the week.
I am going...to be busy - it's that time of the year.
I am reading...the Bible in a year (in Psalms this week - love the Psalms!!!) The girls and I are reading the John Adams biography, the Duggar's book 20 and Counting (great book), and Swiss Family Robinson (although we haven't been going as strong on that one lately).
I am hoping...that we will glorify God in all the opportunities He provides us.
I am hearing...my youngest daughter sitting on the couch listening to a children's choir CD on her headphones and singing the songs. (I love having kids!!!!)
Around the house...a lot needs to be done - laundry & cleaning.
One of my favorite things...the encouragement I get from God's Word!
A few plans for the rest of the week: volleyball games, piano competition, art lessons, church, speech and debate tournament, and celebrating a very special someone's 10th birthday.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
Wishing you a wonderful spring week full of God's blessings!
In His love,
Tina

You are a gal that knows how to appreciate life, and how to treasure every day,...and it sounds like you make the best of your time.

I am happy for you and your family. This world needs more people who love God, family, and friends, and who count their many blessings.

Have a great week.

I love being encouraged by God's word, too.

Sounds like a full and busy week, I hope all goes as planned.

I would like to read the Duggar's book, too. Is it good!

I just finished reading 20 and Counting and loved it! What a beautiful example of the Lord's provision and grace.
