Daybook-10.22.12

FOR TODAY, Monday, October 22

Outside my window...63° already and it is supposed to be in the 80s today - of course, since I just unpacked fall clothing ....


I am thinking...of church friends that decided to move on ...

I am thankful...for my family and my snug little home (that's paid for!)

In the kitchen...spaghetti and garlic bread

I am wearing... black slacks, black cami with a cream, brown and black animal print blouse.  Black sandals.

I am creating... blogposts for my 31 Days of Encouragement series.  The last third of this series will be on encouraging ourselves by focusing on the rewards of serving Christ.

I am going...out to lunch with a friend

I am wondering... what I'll write about after my 31 Day series is over!

I am reading... the book of Jonah.  It's interesting that when the Assyrians repented, they even put sackcloth and ashes on their animals!

I am hoping... for better days and renewed strength

I am looking forward to...a train ride with friends to Centralia this weekend

Around the house... a few dust bunnies and a fridge that needs cleaning, otherwise things are good.

I am pondering... what Jesus thinks of the things we do in our churches ...

A favorite quote for today...

If you are weak today, in need of being carried, lift your arms toward your heavenly Father and say, "Carry me, Abba" (Romans 8:15). When we are weak, His love is strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). … David Jeremiah, Turning Point Devotional 10/10/12

One of my favorite things...an evening at home.  I'm such a homebody!

A few plans for the rest of the week:  more 31 Day blogging and no meetings this week! Yay!

A peek into my day...

I'm ready to go out to the lake again and soak up sunshine, peace and quiet.
