FOR  TODAY  November 17, 2008

Outside My Window... It's dark now; the day is almost over but I have seen our first snow flakes this evening. I love the change of seasons that God has given us. Even though I might complain of the cold later, I am thankful for the newness of this winter in my warm home.

I am thinking ... that there are a lot of things happening in the next 2 weeks ie. Thanksgiving #1, Thanksgiving Service, Thanksgiving #2 and my Mother's 85th Birthday Party.

I am thankful for... Mondays when my dh takes off of work and is my support, helping with school, computers etc.

From the Learning Rooms...needing to accomplish much more than I have been. 

From the Kitchen... I am making stock for soup tomorrow.

I am Wearing... a sweater that my dear mother knitted me about twelve years ago. She was taught to knit when she was 4 years old. She has been knitting for 81 years!!

I am Creating.... low-fat alternatives for our Thanksgiving meal. I can hear that stuffing calling me. :0

I am going... nowhere tomorrow and I will love it. It is good to get a full day of school accomplished.

I am reading... Genesis and memorizing I John. I have just finished the first chapter and am working on the second verse of chapter 2.   I knew I couldn't do it. BUT God did!  I am so thankful for His love for me.

I am hoping... my three daughters have a blessed time in Montana.  I wish I were there seeing my Rachel and maybe a little of the scenery. 

I am hearing... my big Lab, Jake, quietly breathing as he sleeps at my feet.

Around the House... a lot of dishes needing my attention.

One of my favorite things...talking with my Elias.

A Few Plans For The Rest of the Week... Weight Watchers, Wal Mart, Bible Study, Wal Mart...

Here is a picture thought I am Sharing...
