For Today:
May 3, 2017

Outside my window, the sun is shining brightly.

I am thinking about my children.
I am thankful that my children are happy and healthy today.
From my learning, I am finding that I want to find peace and happiness in life.
From the kitchen, I hear the Emmalee helping Jackson.
I am wearing my ugly green house dress because today I’m being lazy.
I am creating a new life for us all.
I am going to watch movies and relax today while working online.
I am hoping that my husband has no more challenges today.
I am hearing Emmalee and Jackson talking together in the kitchen.
Around the house, I have dinner to get ready soon.
One of my favorite things: the smell of gardenias in bloom.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Help Don if he needs it.
Finish mowing the grass.
Write reviews for both Messy Journey and Women Who Move Mountains.

A thought to share:
Sometimes life gets busy.  Still we must put Faith first every day.  God is what gets us through.  Without Him we accomplish nothing.

A quote I like:
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
-Joseph Campbell

Keeping House with the Lord {January 1, 2010}

by

Today is the first day of the year 2010.  It has been a fairly good day overall.  I was able to sleep in thanks to my hunny.  I ate dinner with family, right down to the collards and black-eyed peas.  I thank Ms. Virginia for her wonderful meal.

I have also started on my resolutions. 

  • I have posted daily photo for my 365 days in Photos project. 
  • I have re-organized my photos on the laptop from last year.
  • I have read my inspirational article for the day.

My inspirational article is from the Heart of the Matter online.   Making Your Home a Haven was written by Jennifer Sikora, a loving, homeschooling mother of two.  This article talks about housekeeping with the Lord’s help, by showing God’s love in each of your rooms, praying over the rooms and allowing the Lord to direct and live in them, as well as in you.

Housekeeping is a task I desperately dread.  I am organizationally challenged.  I am a procrastinator (there I admit it!).  I would rather do anything, except clean and organize my house.  I understand this is an inherited trait in my family but it is a trait that I am attempting to overcome.

Making Your Home a Haven has helped me to see that I should not be cleaning house for myself, or for my family but for the Lord.  I should be allowing him to beautify my home and my life.  These are the things I should be choosing to do for myself and my family to better their lives and home.  God should shine throughout my life, not just in me but also in my home.

It is my goal, that by the end of 2010, my home will reflect my love for God and his immense LOVE for me and my family.  I look forward to completing this goal and enjoying my time doing it.

1st Corinthians 10:31–Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
