A Simple Reminder~to me!

Do you ever receive emails that contain images of catchy church signs? Some are, in my opinion, not worth sharing, but others are down right convicting! Like this one:

Attitudes are contagious...is yours worth catching?

Or this one:

A parent's life is a child's guidebook.

Just a few thoughts for this Wednesday. Have a great day!

July 19th Daybook


For today, Tuesday, July 19, 2011~

Outside my window~
the sun is hiding behind some clouds

I am hearing~
the fan on the A/C

I am thinking~
about my sweetheart :)

I am thankful~
for good health

I am remembering~
sitting on my "Pappaw's" front porch
and the scent of his boxwoods

I am reading~
the latest issue of Taste of Home

I am hoping~
to get a lot of things done today--we'll see :)

I am praying~
that God will change me into who He wants me to be

I am creating~
some new clothes for "R" and "S"

On my mind~
is a fellow blogger who just had a baby girl and
the reminder of God's timing and
the joy of His redemption

From the learning rooms~
still working on the coupon thing
R is busy with her Bible Bee verses and word study
D is having fun with numbers
S is doing well with potty training

Noticing that~
I need to get a few things organized before
my cousin visits next weekend

Wondering~
where the summer has gone?

Pondering these words~
"But He giveth more grace..."

From the kitchen~
trying to lighten up the menu a little
Sunday-caribbean jerk chicken w/ fresh salsa
Monday-chef salad
Tuesday- caribbean jerk chicken w/ fresh salsa (using up the leftovers)
Wednesday-taco bowls
Thursday-tba
Friday-chicken tenders
Saturday-tba

Around the house~
the family room is so much more organized
now that we have our little cubes in place

One of my favorite things~
is when my Hubbie says
"You're so pretty..."

A few plans for the rest of the week~
"R" has basketball camp this week
finish up a few sewing projects
pick some fresh veggies from the garden :)
church on Wednesday night

From my picture journal~
black bean and corn salsa

grilled jerk chicken

the presentation

 fresh corn on the cob (from our garden)

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be linking up with

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Thankful Thursday

This Thursday, I am so thankful for some sweet friends who had us over for lunch today...along with some good fellowship and fun playtime for the kids. For lunch, the kids had "pigs-in-a-blanket", and the grown-ups had Caribbean Jerk Chicken with corn and black bean salsa. YUMMY! Since I asked for the recipe, I will be making this yumminess very soon here in my own kitchen...

Have a wonderful Thursday! :)
