The Simple Woman's Daybook - September 14, 2009

FOR TODAY, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th EDITION...

Outside my window... a slightly overcast day.

I am thinking... of the scripture I read this morning:

"... be imitators of God (copy Him and follow His example) as well-beloved children (imitate their father.)" Ephesians 5:1 AMP

I don't know about you, but when I was a little girl I wanted to do everything my daddy did. It always tickled me if someone told me that I looked just like my daddy. I should have that same attitude about Abba Father.

I am thankful for... a week off work!

From the kitchen... chicken and dumplings.

I am wearing...my favorite blue jean capris and an aqua T-shirt.

I am creating... treasures out of some of my yard sale goodies. Stay tuned for pictures in upcoming days.

I am going... nowhere today! I'm having a blessed day at home.

I am reading... I just finished re-reading Catherine Marshall's "Christy," one of my all-time favorite books.

I am hoping...to get some projects done during my week off, but also to rest and relax - which is very hard for me!

I am hearing... the breezes in the trees across the road because I get to have my windows open. It's only 68 degrees right now!

Around the house... so many things to be done I can hardly list them. I don't understand anyone that gets bored at home. There are so many things to do! (And, I did used to be a stay at home mom and led a very full and happy life.)

One of my favorite things... saving money and I'm hoping to get better at doing so.

A few plans for the rest of the week: attending a Jeff and Sheri Easter concert, the farmer's market, yard sale-ing, and attending a John Starnes concert.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

This is another photo I took of the place where my dad grew up.

However, the pond wasn't there when he was a boy.
