The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today, January 24, 2012...

Outside my window...is a day so beautiful the rest of the nation is probably green with envy.  My back patio looks amazing after giving everything a good cleaning.  It's warm, breezy, and tidy.  Just the way I like it!

I am thinking...as I approach 50 (the end of next year as a matter of fact) I wonder if I'll have the energy to do all I do now?  I sure hope I have my health so that I do.

I am thankful...for the trials God allows in my life, because I know God doesn't allow more than I can bear.

In the kitchen...fried chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, and fried green beans.

I am wearing...a bronze colored top, jean capri's and white flip-flops.  It's 77 degrees and breezy.

I am creating...nicer outdoor spaces.

I am going...to dry my hair after I finish with this post.

I am wondering...where the years have gone?  It's like just yesterday I was 25 years old.

I am reading...Morning and Evening Daily Readings by Charles Spurgeon.  I love Spurgeon's writings, and this devo for my Nook cost just $.99!  A ridiculously good bargain!  There's a devotion for every morning and evening of the year.  I'm getting more out of the Word, and that's always a good thing!

I am hoping...to get to the front yard this week.  It's looking dismal.

I am looking forward to...Family Fun Night at our church this Saturday.  Bounce houses, food trucks, fun, fellowship, and a movie.  They're keeping the movie a surprise, but I'd love for it to be Courageous!

I am learning...a lot from this new devotional.

Around the house...everything is pretty much in order, which is why I'm working on the outdoors.  The garage looks so neat and spacious!  That was a big task, but I'm glad I took it on.  The results are my reward.

I am pondering these words..."It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man."

A few plans for the rest of the week...Awana tomorrow, hopefully a trip to the library to return some books, Family Fun Night on Saturday, church on Sunday.
