~ Ponderings ~

My friend Stefanie has a Day Book and I tried to 'join' and set it up here with failure. So I am doing my own thing ~ hopefully later figure out the process! Thanks Stefanie for 'helping' me 'get it'! Smile! I keep saying I 'must' sign up for that computer class in my future!

FOR TODAY
Outside my window... I see green grass and bulbs rising out of the fertile soil. It is rainy. My purple Grecian Wildflowers are blooming and my purple and bright yellow crocus Dieter and Ann gave me and which our beloved Dieter helped me plant are shining brightly.

I am thinking... How grateful I am to be the Kings daughter today. On a rainy soggy day, I am blessed beyond measure because Jesus Christ died for me and HE is FOR me! My sins are forgiven, past, present and future! Thank you Lord for YOUR willingness to go to the CROSS for me!

I am thankful for... Jesus Christ ~ who is my ALL in ALL!!! My hubby, who is not only my husband, but my best friend and lover. Our children the Lord has given to us ~ who really are his, HE has 'loaned' them to Dave and I to raise for HIM! It is awesome to realize and know Jesus Christ loves them even more than I do!

From the learning rooms... Wordly Wise test today for Hannah! I love this subject she has! "Quixotic" was from weeks ago and I am still using it--ha, ha--I am the teacher who still learns!

From the kitchen...Coffee, lots of yummy coffee ~ still thinking about what to make for dinner ~ although Hannah suggested homemade french fries to go with whatever we have tonight; as we are swimming in raw potatoes this week! (I was hoping she would suggest Potato Soup, one of my favorites!) I

I am wearing... Jeans, white t-shirt and black flip flops. A clip to hold back my bangs too!

I am creating...nice piles of laundry as I fold the clothes coming out of the drier. Load number 5 just went in the washing machine! Thank you Lord for my 'servants' ..aka... washer/drier!

I am going... to be inside all day, making our home smell good, look tidy and filled with praise to Jesus! Getting the laundry done today also.

I am reading... 3 books at once! My usual practice, and of course my Bible in the morning!

I am hoping... those I am praying for come to faith in Jesus Christ and are truly converted!

I am hearing... the hum of the drier, Hannah in the kitchen making lunch for Caleb (who is off work and on his first day of spring break from Towson University), me and herself. She has a servants heart for real!

Around the house...Taffy and Emma are going for their shot this week at the Vets and then Friday they go to the groomers and are getting short haircuts. Emma is shedding black fur everywhere, even though they are both 'non shedding' dogs; they have winter coats to get rid of somehow. We are using the broom, vacuum and 'sweeper' often to keep it on top of it!

One of my favorite things...hugs from those I love, especially the way my hubby hugs me...tight and long....not just a squeeze. He is an absolutely wonderful hugger!

A few plans for the rest of the week: We have a special guest who is a Missionary, coming Friday Night to stay with us from Mexico, which we are thrilled about. I have lasagna to make for Sunday Dinner at Church. I will work Tuesday, Wednesday and added Friday this week, an extra day for me. A full week for sure. Week end is full too with wonderful plans!

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...my picture is at the top of this blog today! My honey and Joschua James taken recently! Makes me smile!
