FOR TODAY, November 16th 2021

Outside my window ...

I'm a bit later getting started this morning. But the sun is up. Its overcast and looks like we are in for  more rain. I'll take the rain over snow any day!

I am thinking ...

I am busy trying to gather my thoughts for my talk on Sunday. T"talk" since I have been back in Canada and due the Pandemic, my first talk in a few years.

I am thankful for ...

Family, faith, friends, health, shelter, work.  I have much to be grateful for.

In my kitchen ...

 

This morning I am sharing a recipe for Fried Cabbage and Potatoes. Delicious comfort food. Three ingredients. One pan.  Quick and easy. 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

Seasons and Suppers. Quick & Easy Udon Noodle Soup.  

Good to know ... 

I am wanting to create ... 

Yarn Inspirations. Fat Cats. Cute. 

Pixie Hill. Gnome Tart Tins. Cute! 

Vintage Muse. Countdown to Christmas.

 

Pixie Hill.  Christmas Diorama. Beautiful. 

Clean and Scentsible.  Thanksgiving Turkey Treats. 

I am reading ... 

BEING ENOUGH, by Chieko N. Okazaki

What you have to give is enough — if you give it with all your heart. 

 Is there ever enough time, enough money, enough power within us to do all that our lives seem to require of us? Most of us feel our inadequacies keenly, and the fear of failure can keep us from reaching out and offering what little we do have. 

Citing the New Testament story of the widow who cast her two mites into the temple treasury, Sister Chieko N. Okazaki demonstrates that a feeling of abundance is rooted in faith. "This mortal probation is an invitation to walk with faith in the Savior," she writes, "and his promise is that he will make up all of our deficiencies. If we will give Christ our trust, then he will give us everything we lack." 

 Filled with Sister Okazaki's personable teaching style, her memorable stories, and her sharp insights into human nature and the gospel.

Enjoying this very much and getting a lot out of it.

Something to watch ... 

This Is Us.  On Netflix. It almost always makes me cry though. 

Corners of my Kingdom ... 

Cool store front in Margaree, Cape Breton.  I bet there's lots of antiquities and trinkets in there. 

A thought to carry with you ...

Especially the willows and the honey locust,

equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,

they give off such hints of gladness.

I would almost say that they save me, and daily
