The weather...
Rainy but quite bright. Going to be about 15 C today.
Right now I am...
Listening to Chatterbox playing Temple Run and Squidge playing City Island. The music is quite annoying. :)
Thinking...
That I STILL haven't cut the grass and now it's raining!
On my reading pile...
Jane Eyre
On my TV...
Last night we watched Number 23 with Jim Carrey. It's all about something called the 23 Enigma and this chappie who gets obsessed about it. Apparently, Jim Carrey agreed to do the film as the 23 Enigma is something he is fascinated with. I think the film was a pile of tosh and very boring. There's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back! :)
What I found while surfing the net...
I rather like this post from The Moxie Wife: Love for Love's Sake
And this post from my hubby: Children
On the menu for the week...
I have some tuna steaks, some steak pasties, and some chicken in the freezer...I'll probably do something with those but I haven't made a plan.
On my to-do list...
Mow that grass!! *shakes fist at clouds n rain*
Do my usual Monday 'home blessing' as FlyLady calls it
Shopping
Ring the Child Tax Credit people
In the craft basket...
Nothing at the moment
Looking forward to this week...
Time with G tonight as the girls are staying at my friend's for a sleepover. :)
Looking around the house...
I can now hear the girls screaming as it has just started to absolutely pelt it down with rain and hailstones and they're trying to fasten up the waterproof cover on the guinea pigs' hutch. Haha, good timing! LOL
From the camera...
From our friend's camera:
Chatterbox getting hugs off two little girls at a church kids club |
On my prayer list...
Friends of mine who are having family issues
My husband and his health issues and his hospital appointment tomorrow.
Bible verse, devotional...
Here's the verses I'm memorising today (I'm memorising Psalm 91):
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
WhoShall abidesunder the shadow of the Almighty
I will say ofmy Godthe LORD, "He is my refuge and
My fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
Surely Hewillshall save you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence. (Psalm 91:1-3)
OK I'm going to check I got that right...not bad, a few small errors. :)
Here's a few devotional thoughts:
On Gratitude:
Waiting till you're happy before you give thanks, is like waiting to be healthy before you take your vitamins ~ Ann Voskamp

On forgiving others:
For a long time I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life - namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things. Consequently, Christianity does not want us to reduce by one atom the hatred we feel for cruelty and treachery. We ought to hate them. Not one word of what we have said about them needs to be unsaid. But it does want us to hate them in the same way in which we hate things in ourselves: being sorry that the man should have done such things, and hoping, if it is anyway possible, that somehow, sometime, somewhere he can be cured and made human again.~ C.S. Lewis
