For Today - The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today


Looking out my window,
I can see our free-range chickens pecking and scratching in the yard.

I am thinking (and praying!)
about the election.

I am thankful
to know that no matter what the outcome of the election is,
God is still on the throne.  

One of my favorite things
is this time of year: I love fall, y'all!  :)

I am creating
a cross-stitch butterfly bookmark for my mom.

I am wearing
a long denim skirt, a blue print shirt, and my toasty warm insulated socks that hubby got me from the farm store.

Love, love, this book!

I am hoping
that our new pullets start laying eggs - soon!

I am learning
that the Lord is all-sufficient; no matter the circumstances, no matter the situation, no matter what, He is all I need.

In my kitchen,
 we are having Ethiopian veggies and 5 grain bread for supper tonight. Yum!  :)

In the school room,
Ian is doing his Bible readings, Aaron, Asher, and Naomi are working on a Grammar lesson. And Natalie is working on Geography.

In my garden,
there is a beautiful, sparkly frost.

Shared quote:
"God whispers to us in our pleasure,
speaks to us in our conscience,
but shouts in our pain;
it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."
The Problem of Pain 
~C.S. Lewis

A moment from my day:

Aaron's tarantula molted 2 weeks ago. In this photo, he is holding the actual tarantula and the molt is on the right.

Linking up with Peggy.

    Thank you for sharing your slice of life with us on Simple Woman's Daybook post. I enjoyed reading your post.

    Was fascinated to see the tarantula and its molt. That was cool. Although I don't think I'd be so happy to be actually holding it.

    Here's wishing you a beautiful day and a wonderful week ahead.

    Hi Brenda,
    I agree - holding the tarantula isn't something I am interested in doing. But I will probably eventually get talked into it by my children. They seem to be fearless. :) Thanks for stopping by for a visit. :)
    Have a blessed week!

    God IS all-sufficient, and He is STILL on the throne. I read Lewis' PROBLEM OF PAIN many years ago. It's worth revisiting.
