FOR TODAY October 19th, 2009

Outside my window… it is overcast with drizzle, a cool 6 degrees. But oh so toasty inside with our fire in the stove and a hot cup of tea Ü

I am thinking… chores around the house.

I am thankful for… for my part-time job. It is a blessing to help my hubby and to be able to work in a clean workplace.

From the kitchen….baked porkchops, baked potato, frozen beans from our garden and cupcakes for the girls.

I am wearing… a jean skirt and a beige t-shirt and slippers.

I am creating… christmas presents, never to early to start.

I am going… to stay home and clean our bedroom, to make it a nice place for my hubby to be comfortable in.

I am reading… "A Fine Line", by Kathy Herman. I am looking for copies of "Love and Respect" and " Housewives Desperate for God" to read also.

I am hoping… to get our pool closed up this week.

I am hearing… a sermon I am listening to by Rob Carlson of Portage La Prarie, Manitoba.

Around the house…wash, floors and sewing.

One of my favorite things…fuzzy socks!

A few plans for the rest of the week… work and general house keeping, planning a menu for the rest of this week and the next.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…

Just the other day my pastor got stuck on the highway and waited froever for anyone to stop and offer help. It gave me cause to think, would I have stopped? Would I have offered help?

How amny times in our christian lives do we put ourselves out and stop what we are doing to help someone other then ourselves? It is so easy to get on our own track and forget to ask God what He wants of us.

Would you not go to that concert to stop and witness to a friend? Would you stop playing on facebook to tend to a sick neighbour? Would you not buy that outfit you have been saving for to buy groceries for a family in need?

This song is a blessing to my heart

Make me a servant like you, dear Lord.
Living for others each day.
Humble and meek, helping the weak,
Loving in all that I say.

Give me Lord, a servant’s heart.
Hear’s my life: take every part.
Give me, Lord, a servant’s heart.
Help me draw so close to you.
That you love comes shining through.
Give me Lord, a servant’s heart.
Give me Lord, a servant’s heart.
