FOR TODAY  

Monday, December 12, 2011

 

Outside my window...
the little bit of snow we had is g.o.n.e. ~ toolbar says it's 40F (4C), so that explains that.
Luci has moved into her house!

        

 
I am thinking…
I should be done shopping for Christmas gifts... any day now!
It's time to be baking cookies and dipping chocolates!
           
 

I am thankful to God …
for victory in Christ Jesus
for today's call from Nancy at Dr. Cook's ~ wow!  gratis check-ups?!

I am praying for...
... my mother-in-law's health
… Hiromi in Japan (near the Fukushima nuclear plant) 
... the Rettigs & the church in Prague ~ Praising the Lord for a new building and apartment!
… the sale of my mother-in-law’s home
… Amy W., a young wife/mom with cancer
… Sarita & Jeff &family
… the A Family, on furlough from their field of ministry ~ headed back in just a few weeks
… Lea’s dad ~ in the midst of a serious health crisis
… H & A’s marriage 
… for direction for our church, for our family
… Laura
… and especially marriages ~ meant to last a lifetime

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.  Ephesians 3:20-21
 

From the learning rooms...
compound nouns;  research paper about the American Revolutionary War; geography of North America; The Scarlet Letter; wrapping things up for a Christmas break!

 
From the kitchen...
lasagna, veggie-beef soup, turkey pot pie, burritos, potato/cheese soup, pizza, dumplings, pepper steak/rice



 
I am creating...

a tidy desk by getting 'a round tuit'

Really.  Don't you believe me?

 

I am going...
to get a haircut this week {and taking all the DDs too}  :D


I am reading...
Revelation & almost finished with Ezekiel
I finally finished Bruchko ~ really enjoyed it after I got going with it!
And I found Miss Read ~ What fun!  and thinking of Felicity as I read of round-abouts and switch-backs at the fair on the first of May in Thrush Green.

I am hoping...
we can get in to see the chiropractor this week {and remove the lurking migraine from my head}
[yay ~ Vickie just called, and we're IN!  :D]

 
I am hearing...
clothes tumbling in the rumbling dryer; the Popper spelling out loud


 
Around the house...
It's a cloudy day so we are enjoying the lights on the Christmas tree

 

One of my favorite things...
getting the stash of gifts wrapped and out of our bedroom
 

Pondering these words...

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Romans 6:11

  

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Today ~ laundry and desk duties
Tuesday ~ chiropractor {so I should spend the morning sewing and/or baking}
Wednesday ~ haircuts x5, church
Thursday ~ dentist, Azure Standard delivery, first night for Treasures in the Snow on VCY America
Friday ~ Ames for piano, groceries, second night for Treasures in the Snow
Saturday ~ taxi the Cowgirl to a birthday party
Sunday ~ church with Sunday School Christmas program in the evening {take cupcakes & milk}

 
Here is a are more pictures for thought...
