FOR TODAY

March 8, 2011


Outside my window...I see God's great handiwork EVERYWHERE. I see it in our yards, I see it in the sky, I see it in my mother who is constantly working out doors where she finds solace.

I am thinking...of my dearest friends today and how grateful I am for each of them.

I am thankful for... the day Christ set me free. I am thankful that the Holy Spirit continues to lead me, speak to me and guide me. I am thankful that we serve the King of kings and the Lord of lords!

From the kitchen...last night I decided to pull out a Duncan Hines cake mix and bake it up so I could make a Jello Cake.  After the cake cooled I mixed up the raspberry Jello and slowly poured it over the cake, set it in the fridge to cool and later added the dreamy cool whip.  It was a nice ending to a great weekend.

I am wearing...a pair of jeans, a long sleeve tissue t-shirt, a light weight denim jacket with a pair of my Vibrams.  I have a bunch of running around again today. What is it with these busy Tuesdays here lately?

I am creating...wow.. I cannot think of what I am creating at this moment.  I wanted to say a mess, because I have been doing some home projects which have a huge mess when I am all done. Hopefully by the end of the week, I will have created some compost bins.

I am going...to talk to the owner of a bee supply store today. I am hoping to get information on starting up bee hives for this spring.

I am reading...Ephesians right now. I have several books once again on homesteading that I am reading through as well.

I am hoping ( & praying)...I will see my sweet husband soon. I miss him.

I am hearing...the neighbors' rooster early this morning. As I hear him, it excites me for the eggs that are to come from our own hens in just a few months.

Around the house...I see ways that I will be serving people in the days to come. It excites me.

One of my favorite things...is spending time with older people who can offer me a time of learning some gained knowledge and wisdom, that and spending time with young ladies who I can share with as well. 

A few plans for the rest of the week: build a compost bin or two, finish tiling the kitchen area as a surprise to my darling husband, getting more info on helping at the local food bank.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

This is one of our Barred Rock pullets. She is just a few weeks old now.

Today I'm joining Peggy and a lot of other wonderful ladies as we record the happenings of our weekin the Simple Woman's Daybook.  Won't you join us?
