The Simple Woman's Daybook ...

 

FOR TODAY, March 6, 2018

Outside my window...

Can you believe it is light already and the birds are signing.  Admittedly I am a bit later this morning. I didn't get up until a quarter to six and I had my morning chores to do first, but yay, its not dark! And, the birds ARE singing!

I am thinking ...

The new dishwasher arrived safe and sound and Todd got the old one out of the house and installed the new one. I had to help him a bit to get all of the packaging off the new one, but we did it!  Did a test wash (empty to get it set up) and then in the afternoon did a full load. It pops itself open at the end. Yay! Its exactly the same as the old one, but a newer model and with a few more features.  I am so happy with it! 

In the kitchen ...

Cappellini with a Spicy Tomato Sauce.  And I also brought garlic bread. 

On my "To Cook" list ...

 

Aubergine, Tomato & Mushroom Bake from Simply Delicious.  This looks fabulous!!

I am reading ...

 

Enduring Light, by Carla Kelly.

(This is the sequel to Borrowed Light.)

Before you read this book, I would highly recommend that you read the first book, Borrowed Light. I highly recommend you read the first book before reading this one. This is a fun, clean romance. Julia is marrying the man that she desperately loves, Paul. She is recovering from a near death experience, she was burned badly on her neck and chest and doesn't think that Paul should be saddled with a deformed wife. He sets her straight and the wedding moves forward as planned. He is a rancher in Wyoming and the climate is tough. The ranch is remote and he is dealing with religious prejudice from his neighbors. He has joined the Mormon Church and many do not like it and want to stop their business dealings with him. This book deals with some issues, religious prejudice, insecurity, deceit, and of course, lots of love. I loved this book the first time I read it and am loving re-visting it.

Looking forward to ... 

There is a Relief Society Activity on Friday evening.  I am hoping that I can make it to it. It sounds like fun. I just don't like going out at night.  And we have to do our turn at cleaning the chapel on Saturday, so I want to be well rested for that.

Dreaming About ...

 

Fresh paint colours  . . . 

  

Pussy willows  . . . 

 

Bumble Bees  . . .  

Picket fences  . . . 

 

Coloured yarns  . . . 

Something to Watch ...

 

Flower Drum Song.  Yes, its old and a bit corny now, but it is also sweet and wonderful.  Roger's & Hammerstein.  You can't beat them.

But the most beautiful things in life are not just things,

They are people and places, memories and pictures,

They're feelings and moments, and smiles and laughter.

Corner's of my kingdom ...

 

Horse Guards on the Mall . . .  up from Buckingham Palace.  Storm Emma 2018. Some places were still digging out yesterday and they were having to hand out bottled water to people in some areas as the freezing and then thawing of the water mains meant burst pipes all over the place.

And that's my daybook for this week!

BOOK OF MORMON CORNER 

Today's reading - Mosiah 15:10-31 

Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? Who does it say are Christ's seed? 

Thoughts - The importance of my repentance in God's plan is jumping out at me today! 'It is important to understand that the Saviour does not erase the demands of justice but stands between justice and us. IF WE REPENT, He satisfies justice’s demands by taking the punishment in our behalf.' I know I can be blind to the things I need to repent of. After the reading today I felt the need to ask more specifically in my prayers for help as I go through my day. To ask that the Spirit will prick my heart to know when to repent. To recognise when I need to stop or start doing something and when i need to change my thoughts words & actions. It has made a difference already & it's only 7:30am!

 

• all the holy prophets • those who have hearkened to the prophets • those who have believed in the Lord as their Redeemer • those who have repented • those who teach the true gospel of Jesus Christ • also anyone who dies without gospel knowledge, who would've accepted it • little children. These are Christ's seed. There is a big warning here for those who go on in the ways of rebellion, and I don't have to concern myself with that because The Lord is the judge and He knows who's hearts are truly hard to Him and who use their will to not be saved. 

 

Tomorrow's reading (Day 115) - Mosiah 16:1-15 

Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? What do these verses teach about agency and the justice of God? 

 

 

 

Have a great Tuesday!  May it be richly blessed with all that you are in need of.  Don't forget!
