Outside my window... as always it is still very dark (I always seem to blog early in the morning). I'm still getting adjusted to such a "late" sunrise with the time change. It seems harder to get moving when it is dark for so many hours when I get up!
I am thinking... about so many things. I am planning the last minute details for a field trip we are going on tomorrow; I am thinking ahead to the revival meetings our church is hosting in two weeks and I am tweaking our menu plan due to some great sales! I am also thinking that our cat might be part French. I have been playing music all morning, but when a song came on in French, she raised her little head and perked her ears up! :)
I am thankful... for my husband's improved health. He has almost had 3 weeks of almost no pain! He hasn't had a stretch that long since last summer. Praise God!
In the kitchen... I am thawing a bunch of meat. I am making up a big batch of meatballs today.
I am wearing... jeans, a blood donor t-shirt and a zippered sweater. I am sure I will lose the sweater soon enough as it is going into the mid-fifties today!
I am creating... nothing crafty at the moment. We have been crazy busy!
I am going... to the chiropractor today with my hubby and children. Hopefully, we will also be kicking off our "Ministry Mondays" today and visiting a lady from our church that is in a nursing home after schooling is done.
I am wondering... what God is preparing for me and my family. He seems to be working in so many hearts. I am curious.
I am reading... "Surrender" by Nancy L. DeMoss
I am hoping... that Christ returns soon. I selfishly long to see Him face to face and be in His glory!
I am looking forward to... the warming trend we are seeing in our weather. It is so refreshing to breath in warm(er) air and hear the birds chirping!
I am learning... too much to put here!
Around the house... it is still quiet. I am letting the little ones sleep in since they were away this last weekend.
I am pondering...how grateful I am for the many people God has placed in my life. I have been pondering how blessed I am to specifically have so many godly women in my life. I long to learn more and more from these women. If only there were extra hours in the day!
One of my favorite things... joining my husband (when I can) in the early morning milking. I simply love spending hours upon hours with him. I think he enjoys the "femininity" I bring to the miking, too. If nothing else he gets to chuckle at me as I refer to the cows as "ladies" and that I have a tendency to sing to them or compliment how pretty they are or on the quantity of milk they give. I love that my husband allows me to join him and how he is teaching me more and more each time.
A few plans for the rest of the week: field trip, starting into 4-H for this year, schooling, menu planning, birthday party this weekend, and more.
A peek into my day... We had a brief chance to stop at the park nearby to enjoy the sunshine yesterday with the kiddos.

How sweet!!! You call the cows ladies, I love that! I would too if we had cows. And I don't blame you a bit for talking and singing to them. Animals may not speak our language, but they communicate just fine and it does not hurt to be nice to them. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that Christ returns soon, too. But so many are not ready to meet him....
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a wonderful life! This is my first time here and I really enjoyed reading your post. God bless you!
