Thick grey clouds and wind blowing leaves around the house.
I am thinking...
About how nice and quiet it is right now.
I am thankful...
For so many things. At the moment I am thankful for November, and the cool weather and crunchy leaves that this month brings.
In the kitchen...
Greens from the garden.
I am wearing...
Jeans and a black t-shirt.
I am creating...
Not much right now.
I am going...
To visit family next week!
I am wondering...
If it is going to rain out my evening walk.
I am reading...
A few books. When the weather starts getting cooler I always want to read L.M. Montgomery. I read "Jane of Lantern Hill" for the umpteenth time. Also "Blue Castle" and "Anne of the Island." Right now I'm reading another Donald Miller book "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years." Really good book so far.
I am hoping...
That the rain holds off til after my walk.
I am looking forward to...
Hiking this weekend, and Thanksgiving next week!
I am hearing...
The fan whirring...and mostly quiet.
Around the house...
"The children were nestled all snug in their beds..."
I am pondering...
How Mississippians were so easily distracted from the very real battle of life vs. death, a little over a week ago today. I am ashamed that we had an opportunity to stand up and say "We believe that life begins at conception. We will protect the unborn.", and we did not grasp that opportunity. We let it go by in the name of the "what if's"...in the name of our own "intellect." Pondering this verse: "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the Lord is your life..." ~Deuteronomy 30:19-20
One of my favorite things...
Okay, that last one was pretty heavy...so to follow that serious note, I'd have to say that one of my favorite things is my Bible. I don't know it well enough (by any stretch of the imagination), but I can always depend on it to set me straight!
A few plans for the rest of the week...
Cleaning, cleaning. Laundry. It never ends. Also making crafty things with the kiddos!
Here is a picture I am sharing...
You can join "The Simple Women's Daybook", right here.
Happy Wednesday!

Your children are beautiful. And I agree about Miss. missing the chance to vote for life. I am taking a little comfort in the fact that it was 55% to 45% ~ at least the pro lifers got up and went to vote...maybe next time people won't be so complacent and Planned Parenthood can be quieted or at least their lies revealed for what they are.
