FOR TODAY - Monday, December 30, 2008...
Outside my window... it's bright & sunny, & I can't help but thank God for the beautiful area He has allowed us to live in, as I look at the mountains. The streets are quiet & peaceful.
I am thinking... about how I want to get my website up to date, especially Emily's blog. Something about the New Year, makes me want to have everything in order & 'lined up'.
I am thankful for... the blessing of getting to share my days with Elliot & Emily, & for all that they bring to my life.
From the learning rooms... I am learning that God has a perfect plan for my life, & that He will bring it about in 'His' time & give me the grace to wait.
From the kitchen... I hear the hum of the dishwasher, reminding me to be thankful for the food that we have, & for everyday modern conveniences.
I am wearing... pajamas, & am debating staying in them all day after a very busy past couple of weeks.
I am creating... new pages for my website.
I am going... to bake cookies with Elliot & Emily later, & make wonderful kitchen memories with them.
I am reading... Adventurous Prayer.
I am hoping... to be able to get the Christmas decorations put away today.
I am hearing... the music from the cartoon 'Little Bill', & listening to Emily hum along with it.
Around the house... I have sweet reminders of Christmas morning lingering, as the children are playing with the new toys, & still talking exitedly about Christmas.
One of my favorite things... watching Emily put away silverware & the dishes in the cabinets that she can reach, as we unload the dishwasher. I cherish training her & watching her work with such joy.
A few plans for the rest of the week... plan our family New Year's evening, get decorations down & put away, reflecting on this past year & thinking through on what I want 2009 to bring.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
