The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, November 23, 2021

Outside my window ...

Its raining quite heavily. I should have gone to the Post Office yesterday, but it was raining so heavily I didn't. This morning is supposed to be a mix of rain and snow, tapering to rain. So just a messy day altogether. I hope I can get to the Post Office today.

I am thinking ... 

Life is full of surprises.  Some nice. Some not so nice. But it is the surprises which keep it interesting. It would be so boring if everything always happened the same way day after day after day.

I am thankful for ...

Another day.  Family. Friends. Faith. Health.  My ability to support myself. The whole shebang!

In the kitchen ... 

The Perfect Turkey Dinner for Two.  Its simple really.

I am reading ... 

Closer to Christ, Emily Belle Freeman 

Each of us will experience moments when we find ourselves fervently seeing the healing, the hope, and the grace that only Christ can bring. Beloved writer and speaker Emily Freeman seeks to help each of us find the peace that comes through the Savior. 

Sometimes you just need a place to start, a reminder of how near the Lord is—a little bit of hope. Combining her two best-selling books 21 Days Closer to Christ and Becoming His into one engaging new volume, Emily Freeman first invites us on a 21-day journey toward a closer relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. She then outlines a twelve-month path of discipleship divided into individual areas of focus, each containing invitations for personal growth, inspired counsel from prophets and apostles, and suggested scriptures to help us focus our efforts. 

 As you draw closer to Christ, you'll discover ways that He can refresh you spiritually, strengthen you in the face of adversity, and help you find more joy.

I've been reading this for a while. I love it.

Anthony, Doug and Bruce  . . . 

My Three Sons.  This is the last time I saw all of them together. It was at Doug's wedding about 17 years ago now.  Today is Doug's Birthday! He is turning 40!  I hope he has a wonderful day. I am really looking forward to seeing him, Kayla and Josh this weekend. What a blessing he is still with us despite all of his health challenges.  I love all my boys of course. Doug is my gentle giant. He has one of the kindest hearts and sweetest souls.  A good father, a good husband, a good son. A good man.  Happy Birthday Doug!!

Corners of my Kingdom ... 

This is the town hall of the town I live in. My cousin works there and the RCMP have an office in it. Across from that is the Baptist Church. That's the church I got Baptized in when I was 15, and the church Eileen got married in. I don't go there anymore, but have a few happy memories of spending time in it at one time or another. This street is called Commercial street and is the street where all the main shops are. Its a typical small town.

A thought to carry with you ...
