For Today -

Outside my window... Pitch black as 11.00pm! I am getting a really late start to my post today.

I am thinking... About the lovely day I had yesterday. I went to Banbury to browse the stores in the afternoon with my daughter Natalie,my grandson Taio and my hunny Micheal. On the way home Michael and I stopped off at Lower Heyford and walked the countryside and by the canal. I got some lovely photos-camera always at the ready! Judy-it was wonderful to visit where we went to church for so many years. Sadly the church building is now gone and it was so barren there!

I am thankful for... The Lord's blessings. He is so good and I am ever thankful.I have been reflecting on life's challenges and I have  so much to be thankful for. It is so good to have an attitude of gratitude. I am thanking the Lord in advance for what He is going to do and my prayers yet to be answered.I am thinking of this bible verse:


Continue in prayer,and watch in the same with thanksgiving.
                                              Colossians 4:2


From the learning rooms...I am still a work in progress and I am learning each and every day.

From the kitchen... Just a snack as late now. I am thinking I will go and make a hot chocolate drink with marshmallow topping and a little cinnamon!

I am wearing... My pj's.

I am creating... A photograph album of Fall.I just love this season and I love to capture the beautiful colours. Yesterday I added more pictures to my collection.

I am going... To watch some recorded shows and then go to bed.

I am reading... My bible and a beautiful devotional book given to me by a very sweet and treasured friend.I was so grateful to receive this and it made my day!

I am hoping...That soon I will have a resolution and closure on my job situation. I have to take an enormous leap of faith with this.Praying and hoping.

 I am hearing...Just the laptop keys as I type.

 Around the house...Angels everywhere! I love my angel collection of figurines and many books.

One of my favorite things... Just chilling out! I have come to love these times.They were not very frequent in the past due to long working hours and now I enjoy the opportunity when it comes around!

A few plans for the rest of the week... Appointments. Letter writing as I find myself behind again!  Spending time with my daughters

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... A couple of pictures from my country walk.

    May the LORD make your path straight and give you wisdom in the job situation you face.

    Hi Linda...well, it's 1:18am here, & I have just given up on posting in my SWD. I typed out the post & lost it! I was so sad. Anyway, too late to do it again.

    So glad to hear that you had such a lovely day. Did you take pictures of where our church once stood? If so, please send. That's such a sad thought...many memories of 399! :-)

    I'm so glad that you are enjoying the devotional. I pray that it is a huge blessing to you.

    Loved the photos as always! Hope you have a lovely day Linda. Looking forward to my email later. Love you!

    What a lovely post Linda. I enjoy reading these daybook entries...something nice about them. :)

    Mmmm...your hot chocolate sounds yummy.

    I think it's lovely that you are writing letters...so rare these days...but so wonderful!

    And what a blessing that the LORD is teaching you much of Himself in these days through the things you are living. How precious that HE never leaves us!

    Have a wonderful weekend!
    In Him,
    Camille
