Simple Woman's Day Book

FOR TODAY - January 16, 2012



Outside my window....  sunny and pretty and beginning to warm up after a very cold night.

I am thinking....  what this week will bring.

I am thankful.... that we have a warming trend coming. It sure helps with the heating bills

In the kitchen.... just fixed some steel cut oats for breakfast. Still undecided about what to fix for dinner tonight.

I am wearing....  blue knit pants and white 3/4 length sleeved white top.

I am creating....  a 9 patch quilt. I am machine quilting the top at the moment. It will be a wall hanging for my bedroom when I'm done.

I am going....  to take Mom to the doctor on Wednesday and then an appointment with my pastor on Friday.

I am wondering....  how to stretch my dollars until the 25th when my first social security check hits the bank. I can't wait!

I am reading....  my Bible and A Kiss A Day - a devotional from the Song of Solomon

I am hoping....  to get my quilt finished this week.

I am looking forward to....  a day out with a friend in the future.

I am learning....  still learning patience and to hear God's still, small voice.

Around the house....  pretty quiet. I hear Mandy chasing the cat.

I am pondering....  the future and the state of the world right now. The Lord's return has to be very, very soon!

A favorite quote for today….  "Revival is when the church falls in love with Jesus all over again." (I can't remember the origin of the quote)

One of my favorite things....  snuggling up in bed at night with my Bible and a favorite book. And then drifting off to sleep

A few plans for the rest of the week: Mom's doctor appointment and appointment with my pastor. Our church is beginning mid-week services this Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to that.

A peek into my day…


A "not very good" photo of my quilt top. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the lighting right or get rid of the shadow.

  1. The weather has been crazy here. We can't build a fire in the furnace unless it gets very cold or it runs us out of the house. The weather is yo-yoing so my electric bill is staying up because we can't build fires often enough! I would really like to make a quilt, maybe when I get to retirement. The future of the world as we know it looks pretty glum. I don't feel that the Lord will tarry much longer. I love snuggling up in bed with a the Best Book every written! A wonderful way to fall asleep.
