Outside my window.....At last I am doing this post in the daytime, it is a beautiful clear cloudless 20C Winter day. We are so Blessed.
I am thinking.... how good life is. We might live a humble life in some people's opinion, but we are truly grateful.
I am thankful for...... the way this blogging is going. I was looking for somewhere to journal and tried other places and after journaling was mentioned at Bible Study (with the idea of keeping a note of Blessings and answered prayer) I prayed about it and someone posted their Simple Woman's Daybook on Multiply just a couple of days later, and I was over here with a Blogspot set up within hours. Now I have a meme Simple Joys Saturdays and just joined "A Country Woman" which I believe will be a great Blessing too.
Visit A Country Woman
From the Kitchen..... Rhubard Crumble..... we were to have close friends to dinner this evening, but she rang and said they have the flu, so we rescheduled for next Tuesday, but the rhubard I bought won't keep, so I'm making the dish and freezing it.
I am wearing..... trackpants and top.... I've changed out of our 'glad rags' that we wear singing. It was a hostel today..... so all the residents are able to walk and and have more faculties than some in the nursing homes.
I am creating.... just some knitting for 'Care and Share'.... I do like to have some on the go, and I am a better passenger when I am knitting.... smile.
I am going ..... nowhere for the rest of the day..... what a Blessing.
I am reading..... Romans V1 for my Bible Study homework.
I am hoping .... it will be mild when we go south at the end of the month.
I am hearing .... Tilda (our dog) snoring in the chair next to me. Barry has gone to visit freinds.
Around the house ..... We have a sunroom at the front that Barry uses as his office, and we gave up on trying to keep it tidy. Yesterday Barry built a partial screen to make a tiny foyer inside the front door. Now I've some plants in the area and a framed print on the new 'wall', and, we are very pleased with it.
One of my favourite things ...... just had a large delicious orange that was grown in Australia.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...... 'On the way home'
In this quiet hour, Lord,
come to bless me...
Let me know nothing but
Your presence and Your peace.
Is not the Lord your God with you? And
has he not granted you rest on every side?
I Chronicles 22:18

Hi Jan, thank you for your visit yesterday. with a very busy life I am still trying to fit in some comments. I love blogging too for the same reasons as you. I consider it a kind of journal of my life with family and friends I love.
I loved reading your journal of your life in a day. You are blessed with the knowledge that nothing is more important than living a live with God as focus. Peace is automatic when you have that kind of faith.
Have a blessed day.
Hugs, Jeanne
I like the idea of keeping a journal of blessings and answered prayers. x
