A Simple Woman's Daybook Apri 6th Edition

FOR TODAY

April 6th 2009

Outside my window...
I am watching the birds at the feeder. My hubby puts them up and maintains them. He has such a soft side sometimes. But don't tell him I told you that.

I am thinking...
about preparations for Easter. Not just the dinner and family. But the sacrifice of Jesus for my sins.

I am thankful for...
The ability we have in this country to worship freely. I am reminded sometimes of how others have to worship in secret and fear.


From the kitchen...
Leftovers. My hubby is in charge of dinner tonight because I have to work late. He didn't want anything made. He said he'd take care of it. Tori has a game after school and won't get home until later and Emily is "starved" when she gets home.

I am wearing...
My new scrub top and uniform pants. Why is it that it always feels good to put on something new???

I am creating...
I just finished another bunch of carrots. I love how they came out. Now it's on to a special project for my brother. Shhhhhhh don't tell.

I am going...
Only to work this week. Maybe to the Flea Market on Friday if it's nice out. We have snow predicted for tomorrow and Wed. When will it finally be over????

I am reading...
Shack. O.K. I know that all of you have probably read it already but I'm a late bloomer. And I started reading the passion in the Gospels this morning in honor of Easter week.

I am hoping...
To get and keep focused this week on preparing my heart for Easter.

I am hearing...
Bacon sizzling in the pan. I made the girls some for breakfast. I am always amazed at how long that smell lasts in the house.

Around the house...
Just picking up before I leave for work. I cleaned really well on Thursday since I was having company in from Canada on the weekend.

One of my favorite things...
Working outside. There's something magical about planting a seed and watching it grow.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Getting a few things for the girls' Easter Baskets. They don't want candy anymore so I usually get a summer outfit or something.

Her is my scripture thought...
John 10:14" I am the Good Shepard: I know my sheep and my sheep know me-"

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
