The Simple Woman's Daybook ~November 9th Edition


Outside My Window...
I see an empty parking lot with no cars parked with eager-to-buy customers. Sigh.

I Am Thinking...
I have been unsuccessful finding a used baby crib at the thrift stores and garage sales.


I Am Thankful For...
The prayer time with my DH this morning using Stormie Omartian's books praying for your spouse.
I Am Wearing...
Tan slacks and a black top and a beige sweater.

I Am Remembering...
all the exercise I got stacking firewood that my DH cut yesterday afternoon. The joy of country living.
I Am Going...
To the beauty shop tomorrow to get my hair cut and colored! Yippe.
I Am Reading...
90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper
I Am Hoping...
for a big cash sale this week. Can you tell?

On My Mind...
my family in the midwest and all the pretty colors of fall at this time of year.

From the Learning Rooms...
realizing again the significance of my faith as I ask Jesus to heal many I'm praying for and do miracles for my family and friends just like in the gospel of Mark today where I read He required faith in their asking.

Noticing That...
many stores in town are closed and not as many people seem to be shopping.

Pondering These Words...
"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth - everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." Isaiah 43:5-7

From The Kitchen...
homemade chicken noodle soup and homemade pumpkin bread for supper when I get home from work tonight.

Around The House...
realizing my pantry needs organizing.

One of My Favorite Things...
is planning my Thanksgiving menu and writing out my shopping list.

From My Picture Journal...

  4. I read that book too about 90 minutes in heaven. That man had a long recovery but it was amazing. Can I come for dinner tonight? It sounds really good and much cooler than the 80 we are having in Phoenix. I'm continuing to pray.

    Love you,
    Debbie

  6. That was nice to come visit and hear your day. I am with you in the provision. Remember to think outside of the box also and ask specifically if there is a need that the cash sale would go toward.

    How are you liking Don Piper's book? I read it about a year ago and was so moved by his story.

  12. Hi My Sweet Friend,

    Times passes by so quickly. Days come and go and I find myself still not able to get around the blogging world as I would like, as I used to because of sickness, etc....BUT...I love you dear friend and I so enjoyed reading your thoughts here today. You bring a smile to my face every time I come here and today as I read each of your thoughts, I smiled at the tenderness and love that you truly have inside your mind and heart and how it radiates out to all who come here and that my precious, precious friend is because you love the Lord so much. He resides in you and you in Him and you simply SHINE!

    I sing along and pray out loudly with our sweet sister Rosel in saying, "Thank You Lord for sister Mary and please grant her some sales or whatever her heart desires that is okay with you."

    I love you my precious friend. I'm always praying :D for you and your family.

    Love, {{{{Hugs}}}}, Blessings & Prayers,
    Alleluiabelle

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancĂ© will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
