1. It's National Read A Book Day...whatcha' reading? Half-Price Book Store had a 20% off sale all weekend. I typically read books on my Kindle or my iPad...but I couldn't resist going to the sale. I bought a book for my daughter that completes one of the sets that she has and I bought myself 3 books from the clearance rack. The one below is what I'm currently reading.
2. Which is better...having high expectations or low expectations? I say high expectations. Explain why. Why not expect the best? Life is too short to never get excited and to look for the very best. I know that can lead to sometimes being very disappointed. Again, though, if you don't expect the best you are already disappointed. At least, that's what I think.
3. Serenity is trusting in Jesus and His plan for my life. Jesus is the only one who can bring serenity or peace. John 14:27 " Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
4. What's the most interesting thing in your purse or pocket right now? Nothing really...maybe my phone as I can do so many things with it, including reading, playing a game, talking or texting to a friend and taking many pictures.
5. What helps you calm down? Reading a Psalm and praying or listening to music...also talking with my husband.

It is so good to know my salvation doesn't depend on what I do, but instead on what He has done. |

Going to a bookstore sale is so much fun! I, too, read on my kindle or phone but sometimes it is fun to hold a real book!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
DeleteI agree with your thoughts on expectation. If you keep them low you are already disappointed. Love a good bookstore sale! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joyce. Have a great day!
DeleteI love bookstore sales! I agree with your answer about having high expectations, and I think you're right that having low expectations means you're disappointed already. Have a great week - without any disappointments!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kym and you have a great week with no disappointments too.
DeleteI do love a bookstore sale but I try to avoid them as we already have so many books in the house to read lol
ReplyDeleteI seldom go anymore, but couldn't resist this time. lol

DeleteI get serenity by playing hymns on my piano. Really makes a difference for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Annie!
DeleteHope you find time to read those. I have got to start reading. I have like 400 romance novels, that I got for nothing, in my Amazon app. You're right, why not expect the best. I am guilty of letting my heart be troubled and being afraid. I have to change that! I love your random thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers last week. Those books look good.
