Simple Woman's Daybook

Today 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...
Snowflakes in the air at 27 degrees. Lightly covering the ground.
 
Looking forward to...
Movie night and popcorn tonight with the kiddos.

Noticing the sound of...   
Elijah and Anna playing in the family room.

Thinking...
About a friend whose husband passed away a few of days ago. My Beloved is at the funeral now. We pray God's grace to cover her.

Thankful...
For interstates that allow us to meet halfway and get the grandchildren for a week.

Around the house...
Lots of toys strewn about.

Creating...
Memories with Elijah and Anna while they're here.

A Peek into My Day...
Anna (2) and Elijah (5) at play















Learning...
Again....to catch a few minutes here and there when youngsters are in the house.

A Thought from my quiet time...
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. - Isaiah 66:13

Every one knows how a mother comforts her child. It is not so much by words as by love's tenderness. 
We comfort others truly when we make them stronger to endure, when we enable them to pass through their sorrows victoriously. That is the way Christ comforts. He sympathizes with them, but it is that He may make them strong to endure.   ~J.R. Miller

Elijah read this to us before nap time today.

If you were an octopus, you would have 8 legs to put in your pants! 

If you were a centipede, you would have 16 feet to put feet on!

If you were a bear, you would have to nap all winter long!
