The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY - June 15, 2009

Outside my window . . . a beautiful, bright summer day (I HAVE to get out there to hoe before it gets too warm!)

I am thinking . . . I am glad for a restful day after a busy weekend.

I am thankful . . . that God continues to pursue me - when I stray, He is continually working in my heart to woo me back. How thankful I am that He never lets me be at peace without Him.

From the learning rooms . . . Caleb and Eli are pouring over "The New Goat Handbook" and learning lots about goats. Ben has his nose in the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual studying for his learner's permit. (How can this be?)

From the kitchen . . . a treat of some sort for dessert tonight.

I am praying . . . that God would reveal to me that which He desires for me to see, that I would not be blinded to my sin or His grace.

I am wearing . . . my black exercise pants and daisy T-shirt from my walk this morning.

I am going . . . nowhere!

I am reading . . . "What He Must Be . . . If He Wants to Marry My Daughter" by Voddie Baucham Jr.

I am hearing . . . quiet.

Around the house . . . hoeing the corn, some summer schoolwork with Eli, washing everyone's sheets, and preparation for the boys' homeschool evaluation late this afternoon.

One of my favorite things . . . enjoying a scone on the porch early in the morning before the boys are up.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . lunch in a friend's garden, a rollerskating party with a pile of the cousins, delivering homeschool paperwork to the district, making strawberry jam.

Here is a picture thought of the bouquet my sister brought me from her garden. She and her family came for a visit yesterday afternoon to see the goats, pick a few berries and enjoy strawberry pie with us.
