Simple Woman's Daybook

On Saturdays I reflect on simple thoughts and simple pleasures. My leads are somewhat similar to others in The Simple Woman's Daybook group, yet a bit different as well.   

Outside My Window... 



 






The sun has risen over the hill, glistening the frost and casting long shadows. Today promises to be a beautiful day.

Looking forward to...
Being out in the warmer temperature after such cold weather the past several days.

Noticing the sound of...
My beloved testing our new generator. Hopefully, we won't need it this winter.

Thinking...
About my mother's upcoming surgery and wishing there weren't so many miles between us. Distance is no friend to families.

Thankful...
That both of our daughters and their families were able to spend a little time together here after Christmas.

Around the house...
Elizabeth and 5-year-old Elijah made this table topper for me for Christmas. She cut out the pieces, he designed the layout and pushed the pedal, she guided the stitching through the machine. They made a sweet memory together. Love it!










Creating... 
Got a few blocks finished from my kaleidoscope blocks for the throw I'm working on.












(Still) Learning...
To be patient

A thought from my quiet time..
Reading today in Acts 12 and being reminded that those whose faith is in Christ Jesus have faced opposition and persecution from the beginning of Christianity. Here, Herod Agrippa has James executed and Peter put in prison. Such is happening around the world to fellow believers. We in America have had years of peace because our country was founded on Christian principles. That is now unraveling as our culture is fast turning from God's ways and losing its moral fiber. Christianity is less tolerated than any religion. God struck Agrippa down because of his pride and he was eaten by worms and died. As verse 24 tells us, the word of God continued to increase and spread. Jesus Christ--the truth and the way. Unstoppable.
