A Fri-DayBook

I've noticed some bloggers doing a day book here on line ... a daily/weekly journal of sorts, so I thought I would give it a go.  This will not only allow you to get to know me a bit better ... but, I just may get to know myself better! Most of the day books that I've seen are posted on Monday ... I think I'll start mine on Friday, since that is the day, today.  I'll call this one my Fri-DayBook.  If you'd like to join me, leave a comment! 

Outside my window ...
the day has ended ...
the moon is full and beautiful ...
hanging in a star filled sky on this cool, clear night

I am thinking ...
that I'd love to take a walk right now

I am thankful for ...
the Word of God ...
how it brings light to my life, and guards my heart

What I am learning ...
that God is in total control and that He can be trusted

From the kitchen ...
dinner was healthy & simple ...
lemon herb baked fish, brown rice with herbs,
steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and sweet onion

I am wearing ...
sweat pants, and a sweatshirt that says 'Friends Make Life a Little Sweeter',
and they really do, don't they!

I am creating ...
a CD of images from my niece's wedding to give to her next weekend ...
I hope I can get it finished in time

I am going ...
to our monthly flea market tomorrow ...
I love antiques ...
maybe I'll find some small hidden treasure

I am reading ...
Her Mother's Hope

by Francine Rivers

I am hoping ...
and praying, that my son and his wife will be able to find a car this weekend.
They just moved back into town, newlyweds, and are in need of a vehicle.

I am hearing ...
the persistent cough from my husband ...
and I pray

I am noticing that ...
I am getting older, and still have so much to learn

Around the house ...
a deep spring cleaning is desperately needed

One of my favorite things ...
very old and well worn Bibles ...
I so enjoy reading what scriptures might have spoken to the heart of another
and then see it written in the margins of those ancient pages

Plans for the weekend ...
a few stolen hours at the local flea market, but more importantly,
doing what I can to help my husband feel better,
then on Sunday, gathering with others at church,
and spending time with my son, his new bride, and my sister's family

A picture ...
bringing with it the hope of Spring

"Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?"
-Neltje Blanchan-

"Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways.
The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again."
-Sarah Ban Breathnach-


See you next Fri-Day!
Have a blessed weekend!
