The Simple Womans Day Book

FOR TODAY...October 5th

Outside my window...AMAZING!!!! The fall has come with delight!

I am thinking... garden garden garden....

I am thankful for... beauty, wonder and compassion toward the self.

I am wearing... Cotton dress that is blues and white, sleeveless...barefoot with a leather brown headband. Oh and a smile.

I am remembering... How to concider the lessons of the day...compassion toward my own soul.

I am going... To hope for the free stuff off of Craigs list...some garden soil, and a wash tub

I am reading...1 Sam 2:

I am hoping... A prosperous gardening season

On my mind... the love of a good man, the compelling beauty of a loving God, sweet simplicity of my children.

From the learning rooms...Interior decor and design, gardening and thoughts of Christmas gifts to create.

Noticing that... time flies...

Pondering these words... Self compassion is a balance in accepting ones own humanity

From the kitchen... hamburgers from home ground beef and grilled buns...

Around the house... peace and chores and decore in progress...

One of my favorite things~ Color

No image for Google is late in processing my renewal order for more space...

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"
