Simple Woman’s Daybook

June 29, 2009

For Today…

Outside my window… a wild and lively assortment of perennial flowers

I am thinking… that parenting older kids takes much more wisdom than parenting babies

I am watching… kids using pattern blocks to construct forts and then stage mock wars

I am thankful for… my husband’s job, and the many other ways God meets our financial needs

From the kitchen… leftover Ethiopian food from last night’s feast, and hopefully some homemade cinnamon rolls later today

I am wearing… a grey lijit t-shirt and my softest grey PJ pants

I am reading… Lamentations and Stone Crossings

I am praying… for wisdom, clarity,  and focus on God’s priorities

I am creating… a slideshow from my sister’s wedding photos

I am looking forward to… taking the kids to see Brandon Heath and a fireworks display later this week

A picture for today

    I love these “Simple Woman” posts. It gives a little snapshot into one another’s lives. Your flowers are just gorgeous!
    And I’m sure you’re right – the older the get the more wisdom we need.
