FOR TODAY - Monday, January 5, 2009...

Outside my window...it seems as though the entire world is still asleep, even though it is near 9AM. It's so quiet this out there this morning. I am greeted by an overcast look as I peer out my window - something that I am not used to seeing here in Las Vegas.

I am thankful for...this brand new year to see all that God has in store for me. I have asked Him to open up His Word in a new way for me as I read through it.


From the learning rooms...I am learning more about using blogger & loving it.

From the kitchen...my coffee is awaiting me, as well as a few dishes that I didn't load into the dishwasher last night before bed.

I am wearing...my Disney Minnie Mouse red plaid nightgown. Emily has one to match, & she loves it when we are in them.

I am creating...a new scrapbook page today.

I am reading...The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. After having it for years, & wanting to read it, I decided what a lovely way to begin a new year.

I am hoping... that God gives peace & comfort to Joyce. She lost her 40-something husband yesterday morning. He died in their car, as she was trying to get him to the hospital. My heart breaks for her.

I am hearing... the music from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, & of course, the kids singing along with it.

Around the house... I am thankful to look around & be able to tell that it was the weekend. A fun, full weekend, with not a lot of time to pick things up yesterday.

One of my favorite things... lying in bed each morning with the kids, talking about our day, laughing, singing, & praying before we get up.

A few plans for the rest of the week... continue with the organizing of our closet & garage, scrapbook a page or two, write some 'real' letters (not email), enjoy Elliot & Emily to the fullest each day!

Here is picture thought I am sharing...My sweet granddaughter, Avery Shade is 1 today -

  6. Hi Judy,

    I love this idea, and your site looks wonderful here! I love your simple devotions! I am going to look into joining tonight when I get home from work. I think I will make Thursday or Friday my day, as I am off both of those days. Hmmmm or maybe Sunday.

    Avery is adorable!! I can't believe she is 1 already! Happy Birthday Avery!!
