Simple Blessings

For Today -

Outside my window... Beautiful sunshine streaming through the window! Still cold however and a sharp frost this morning.

I am thinking...Of my daughter's wedding which will take place on April 9th. So much to do and this is a busy time for us all. Can you believe I still have not managed to find an outfit to wear that I like!!

 I am thankful for... The many blessings the Lord has poured on me! In all my storms and all those valley times I have seen His grace,His mercy and His help to get me through all of it! He has been with me every step of the way.Again and again I cling to these verses.


Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
                         Proverbs 3:5-6

From the learning rooms...That we go through tough times to make us stronger! The Lord will never give us more than He knows we can handle.I look back on the past two years and in me I see tremendous growth! I needed this valley time to grow!Thank you Lord.

From the kitchen... Cereal,toast with honey and cups of tea! I love my cup of tea!

I am wearing... My pj's and dressing gown.

I am creating...Memories as I capture pictures when I spend time with my family. I was thinking how quickly children grow up! My little grandson Callum age 3 looked so grown up in the photos I took a few days ago!

 I am going... To wait for a furniture delivery. We are expecting a new sofa and chair and footstool today. Managed to get these in the sale and they will be so comfortable-ones that you can just sink into.Well not the footstool!!.....lol.

I am reading... My bible,my devotional book and trying to catch up with my ever growing pile of magazines.

I am hoping... That I can get out in the beautiful sunshine for awhile today but this is pending the furniture delivery. You do not get an exact delivery time so you just wait!

I am hearing... My hunny playing his x-box game. Traffic going by outside.

Around the house... Space ready to receive the new furniture.My flowers from Valentines day as fresh as the day I got them and this is now almost a month!! Beautiful!

One of my favorite things... Me time and tomorrow I plan on a relaxing day. Stitching,reading and watching some recorded shows.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Busy busy! Must try to get my outfit for my daughter's wedding. Laundry and cleaning house.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... Views from my hotel balcony on my recent trip to Sheffield.
