A Month of Thankfulness and Making Your Home A Haven Bible Study and Challenge 2019

Today is Day 4 of a month of thankfulness and the beginning of Making a home a haven challenge!

Day 4 I am thankful for my children---I am blessed with 3 by birth and 2 by love.  I cannot imagine my life without any of the 5 of them. God has been so good in my life!

Day 1 of the challenge is:

Week 1: Gratitude – November 4th

Start a daily Gratitude List.

Go buy an extra-large candle and light a candle everyday in your home.  Each time the glimmer of the candle catches your eye, stop and pray.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

    for his steadfast love endures forever.

 (Psalm 136:1)

A Month of Thankfulness-Day 3--My Church

Day 3 today I am thankful for my church and my Pastor!

We are so blessed to have a church here that preaches the true word of God, has a heart for people and missions.  We were blessed to find Pastors and church members who truly believe every soul matters to God and who are also family!

Until next time,

Simple Womans Daybook for November 2, 2019

For Today

Looking out my window I see a cool, sunshiny day that is open to so many possibilities

I am thinking I am just so excited for this time of year, I love the fall.  I come alive in this season, it to me is like a new beginning.

I am thankful for my husband, he works so hard so I can stay home and homeschool our grandkids.  I have been married to him for 33 years and cannot imagine life without him.

One of my favorite things is sitting curled up in a chair in front of the fireplace, with a cup of hot tea and a good book

I am creating some decorations for my little apartment

     

These are not my pictures but are similar to some I am working on

I am wearing blue athletic pants and a tshirt and am barefoot as I tend to be most times

I am reading The Grumble Free Year by Tricia Goyer for her launch team

Watching 911 with my son but we are always a week behind as we watch on HULU

I am hoping that I can get caught up on some stuff and get started on Christmas as I have never felt so far behind

I am learning that I can't fix anyone including me, but I can trust God to lead me in where He wants me to go and what He wants for me to do

In my kitchen Sausage 4 cheese veggie pasta

In the school room I want to start to do more life skills classes and projects and crafty classes

Post Script

Iam doing this for the 2nd time this month as I just really love taking the time to think on things and making memories for maybe even after I am gone

If you enjoyed reading my daybook and would like to create one of your own, 

HERE is the link to the format, guidelines and complete list of prompts. 

Until next time,

A Month of Thankfulness-Day 2 and Goals

As I was thinking about things I am thankful for it started me thinking on other things this month that I want to do or need to do. I was reading on another blog where she posted her goals so I am going to also post a few of mine today also.

Day 2-I am thankful for God and that He never gives up on me no matter how much I mess up or if I give up on myself.  Our church is in the midst of a 40 days of prayer and fasting and it has been amazing.  Not all has gone well but it has challenged me in how I live my life and in my relationship with God.

My goals for this month are:

1)I am participating in Women Living Well's making your home challenge and bible study.  I have done it before and it is always a blessing in my life. If you want to join in or check it out you can go to this link:

Making Your Home A Haven

It starts this Monday but you can join in and still get alot from it starting where you are.

2) Drink more water as I failed miserably this past month 

3) Walk at least 5 days a week 

4) Read my bible daily before I start my day or get busy on other stuff (been doing pretty good on this)

5) Try to eat no sugar or be severely restrict it

6) No caffeine

7)Going to try and take the grumble free challenge(been reading The Grumble Free Year by Tricia Goyer, got to be on the launch team for it)

Well this is my thankful thing for today and my November goals.  I will check in a couple of times this month and in a month to see how I did.  I wou;d love to hear about your goals or what you are thankful for too.

Until next time.

November-A Month of Blessings!

This is the month that people most often talk about what they are thankful for.  I will be posting other things as the month goes along but also my daily thankfulness.

Today I am thankful for my job.  My job is to homeschool my grandkids.  They do PACES through a Christian school.  So many people think I just hand them the pace and say do it.  It is so much more than that.  I teach them, I explain and I make sure they not only know it but how they may use it in real life.  We have yet to figure out where we are going to use algebra but we are slowly learning it together.  I also try to teach them so much more.  We learn about the Lord, how to live in the world, how to prepare for their future and just how to be a good person.  Sometimes we just have fun because if you can't have fun, then why do we even live?  Today is the day after Halloween and we are having dress up day and its a good day!

    

See ya tomorrow for day 2 and please feel free to comment and tell me what you are thankful for too
