FOR TODAY... Monday, January 26, 2009



Outside My Window.... A crisp, beautiful day given to me by the Lord. The giver of all good gifts. Hints of snow coming our way!



I Am Thinking....January is almost over. Time passes so quickly. Am I using my time wisely?



I Am Thankful For... My dear husband (of 36 years) who works so hard everyday and strives to please the Lord and loves me so much.



From the Learning Rooms...I am enjoying the Apologia Science as I marvel about all the sea creatures God has made. God has worked all these together to glorify Him. Amazing!



From the Kitchen...Pork chops, baked potatoes broccoli and biscuits!!



I Am Wearing... nothing special, just comfortable.



I Am Creating... possibly an exercise and nutrition unit for my children who love the computer and TV too much. I would probably do a better and more thorough job of it if we waited til next year to start the unit but I need this too.



I am Going... to babysit my grandchildren tomorrow as my daughter goes to her OB appointment.



I am Reading... very little but I do hop in and out of Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur.



I am Hoping... that Sophie, our little foster baby, isn't getting sick. She is under 5 pounds and is just too little to be ill. Tomorrow might be a full day at the doctors.



I am Hearing... quiet :)



Around the House... I will soon wake Sophie up for her bottle before I sleep for 3 hours, hopefully. She is my little alarm clock at 3am. Then at 6am.



A Few Plans For the Rest of the Week...Alissa's tomorrow (she will be 32 years old on Wednesday), Elias- Dentist on Thursday, Margery-Piano lessons on Friday. Snow is coming possibly. Fun!



Here is a picture Thought I am Sharing: " Sophie"

For Today...January 5th, 2009



Outside My Window... Pretty dark out there...but today was quite warm for a winter's day.



I am thinking ... it will be good to start school again. But I am praying that I can muster a little enthusiasm from my children.



I am thankful for.. my daughter, Meredith. She has been a blessing to me and to so many others. God has given her many godly friends that encourage her. I am so thankful to God for her church too.



I am wearing .. an old shirt so I can color my hair easily. My daughters say I should stay young!



I am creating .. a clean and organized house for the New Year.



I am going ... nowhere tomorrow and can concentrate on schooling!!



I am hoping... Prayer can change my teens. I really know that God is in control and He wants me to bring my children before Him in prayer.



I am hearing...snoring dogs.



Around the house....many pointsettes, Amish Friendship Bread, and a new puzzle that we just started.



A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week... school, a trip to Costco, visit with my daughters and grandchildren...



Here is a Photo Thought I am Sharing.... Emma and Crumpet
