A Simple Woman's Daybook ~ Nov. 16



Outside My Window...a tree lined canyon that allows a wonderful cross breeze in the home.

I Am Thinking...about Pastor Miles McPherson's sermon at the Rock Church yesterday and how he described Jesus as the living logos, the living word and how every need, every answer to any situation or relationship is found in the Bible.

I Am Thankful For...my daughter's neighbors on this street and how they all help one another like one big caring family!

I Am Wearing...my grey sweatpants and a coral tee shirt. No shoes!

I Am Remembering...the conversation I had with my DH yesterday afternoon on the phone. He found a seller of a used crib at church and purchased it. However, it needs assembling and he wasn't too thrilled about all the pieces layed out on the back deck while we were on the phone.

I Am Going...to a puppet show at the San Diego library for toddlers tomorrow.

I Am Reading...The Overcomer's Anointing by Barbara J. Yoder.

I Am Hoping...that my daughter, my friends and my blogger sisters who are in pain will get well quickly. I continue to pray for each one of them.

On My Mind...thinking how nice it will be to get out in the sun at Mission Beach with the baby this afternoon!

I Am Learning...that God's timing is not my timing and His ways are not my ways.

Noticing That...many Americans are getting involved politically to keep our consititution and freedoms intact.

Pondering These Words..."Therefore, when darkness comes over you, you can be sure that God is making something new because His new things are always conceived and developed in darkness." Barbara Yoder

From The Kitchen...a turkey-mushroom casserole and a plan to make homemade Challah bread tonight.

Around the House...toys and children's books...makes me feel young again.

One of My Favorite Things...the high speed of take off in the plane at the airport. It was fun landing, too, this time with a window seat and seeing Balboa Park and the Zoo in practically arm's reach!

From My Picture Journal...

Spiritual Sundays ~ Flamboyant Love

I was shopping for a birthday card during my lunch hour last week when I overheard an elderly woman in the card aisle talking to her niece, a woman about my age. Here is what she said: “ I threw out all my cards. They never meant those words anyway .” Lots of laughter followed. How sad I thought to be unable to receive the love sent to her in the sentiments of a card. This incident got me thinking about the love of God and resolving to embrace it when it is offered to me. It doesn’t matter if I think I’m worthy of such extravagant love; He thinks so! In contrast, just a day later I received one of those gorgeous hand-crafted cards in the mail from my friend, Kay, who loves paper crafting. It was so pretty and love and joy just oozed out of it when I opened it. This is a sample of her designs at Creativity is Good. Kay wrote a beautiful note to me in the card reminding me of God’s tender love for me. She ended her thoughts with “The God of the universe loves us more than we can ever f...

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

Holiday Movie Comes to Life

It’s uncanny when a new holiday movie comes out and resembles your personal life.   I came clean to my husband on that drive to the Harkins in Sedona confessing that the movie got bad ratings.   It isn’t the type of movie that he would choose to see in the first place.   Rotten Tomatoes gave it one star.   My prince charming replied:   “ Let’s see what we think of it and rate it ourselves.”   Yes!   High five to his palm! It started out as a fun afternoon date.   It would have been perfect if the lady directly in front of me didn’t have on super-strength perfume.   Smells can be troublesome when you’re prone to headaches.   I stuck my head in a big bucket of buttered popcorn; you know-- to alleviate her fragrance, because popcorn smell is less offensive.   What else is a girl like me to do? We named the genre “drama with comedy.”   Cast of characters acted like the typical family scene at Christmas tim...
