Around the House: October
Reading: Leaving Yesterday by Kathryn Cushman
Enjoying: Geocaching; the beautiful weather; and spending some time with my family when they aren't all busy somewhere else
Learning: About the Fruit of the Spirit
Watching: "Survivor" and "Stargate Universe" and "Extreme Home Makeover"
Anticipating: The holidays; Thanksgiving and Christmas are my 2 favorites. I posted "Mary Did You Know" for Then Sings My Soul Saturday and I can't get Christmas out of my mind now. Also, Wal-mart had 2 or 3 aisles of Christmas stuff out already. Of course, we had to walk through and see everything.
Realizing: God is so good and I am so blessed. So many friends and family and church members are going through hard things. When I see all this around me, I realize I really don't have any problems. Irritations, yes, problems, no.
Pondering: The love of God and why does He love me?
Studying: "Living Beyond Yourself" by Beth Moore. This on the Fruit of the Spirit and boy am I being stepped on all over the place. But I know it's what I need. The Spirit living in me is the only way to get through each day
Wondering: If I'll ever get to retire.
Remembering: Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. (This was Sarah's answer, but I couldn't think of anything better and really what could be more true than this)
Praying: That our family stays healthy and close to the Lord and each other.
That is my prayer too.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't Survivor be on three nights a week like Big Brother?

ReplyDeleteOh, that is my prayer for us too! I have been trying to watch Stargate Universe but keep forgetting that it's on. So I've missed a few and have no idea what's going on. I did see the first though!

ReplyDeleteI know people gripe about the Christmas merchandise coming out so early, but I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I did it too :0)
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. I found out you and I have so much in common. I never miss Extreme Home Make-Over. One of my Favorite songs is Mary Did You Know. Unfortunately my eyes aren't what they used to be and I had trouble seeing the orange print, but I also saw that you enjoy learning about the Fruits of the spirit. I also strive to learn more about them and putting them into practice. The main one I have problems getting through this thick skull and into my heart is "patience."
ReplyDeleteCome by and chat.
PJ (http://www.PJsPrayerLine.blogspot.com) It's probably on there already but I wasn't sure.
