The Simple Woman's Daybook

June 1st Edition of The Simple Woman's Daybook


For Today...

Outside my window... The day is nice, morning warm and not to hot to finish up some garden and yard care tasks.

I am thinking... How wonderful it is to listen to others. How sweet it is to see the harvest of my toil in the garden. It is so fun to go out and shop in the garden for the weekly menu.

From the learning rooms...Raised bed gardening lessons and lessons of the Spirit.

I am thankful for...Those divine provisions, many of which I did not even know I needed:)

From the kitchen... Fresh loaf of bread for lunch, suppers planned. Grocery shopping accomplished in the garden.

I am wearing... Turquoise stretch caprices, and a turquoise beaded sleeveless knit top.
A head band and a hair band pulling it into a pony tail. No real jewelery for I have been hard at work on the camping linens and the yard most of the day.

I am reading... Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man.

I am hoping... To grow some awesome melons for summer, save my green beans from the moths, Start the water tank hook up to be ready for the monsoons. Finish a beaded gift for a friend. Start sewing some new clothing for myself.

I am creating... A home, a refuge from the storm. A place of peace and beauty. Raised garden beds. Water harvesting systems. New clothing for self and kids.

I am praying... All my needs and the needs of my family and friends. Have not if I ask not.
Those faces and names that come before me throughout each day.

Around the house... Children lovin life during summer at home with mom. Amimals livin in a life of needs met.

One of my favorite things...home grown crops. Happy children.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Tending chores in the house and garden, Repair of the camper to be ready for the next trip.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
My kind of canned beans
:)

Hi Donetta,

I’ve added a Mr. Linky at Grandmother Wren’s to make it easier for the Summer Daybook ladies to find and visit one another while Peggy is on vacation.

Please stop by on Mondays to add your link – I’d love to see your Daybook there!

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
