Catholic Woman's Almanac - volume 2


Joining in with the wonderful women at Suscipio for a sharing-of-life moment...





Moments of Gratitude


...coffee in the morning, just sitting outside on the patio breathing in His peace...


...talking "music" - theory, to be specific - with my son who is learning this language too...


...singing with my sister...


...kids roasting marshmallows...


...husbands who hang out the laundry (and sons who help), without being asked...


...cackling hens, crowing roosters, summer gardens...


...Pinterest...yes, yes, I know I'm behind the times in this discovery, but - what fun!...


...letters received from my sponsored children, half a world away and right here in my heart...


...early morning runs....



Beauty in the Ordinary


Those leaves are thick now in that little patch of earth we're tilling...flowers are falling and the fruits are growing larger...soon dinner will be picked instead of purchased...and this is so ordinary but so very extra-ordinary too.






From the Kitchen
Grilling and more grilling - even inside, when the weather turns wet!!!  These delicious packets of grilled broccoli, are fast becoming my favorite way to serve that vegetable.

Praying
For a friend who is going through a difficult time...when there's "nothing" you think you can do to help, always - always - always know that prayer IS helping.

Meditating
On Ephesians 1: 4..."For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight."  I've been chosen.  You've been chosen.  Since before the world was created.  Wow.  And why do we wonder what our purpose is, then, when He so clearly tells us?

Pondering
How is it that I can spend four hours cleaning the house top-to-bottom, and my family can get it all messed up again in thirty-seven seconds?  Sigh.  Guess I'll be cleaning today.

Reading
Memorizing
Actually...nothing right now.  But I will get right on this...good to be reminded!  I'm thinking Psalms...

Pinned
Looking Ahead
Easy week ahead - yeah!!!  Only a few places to go, nice weather predicted for the week, and I intend to start each day on my knees thanking Him for this blessing!

Just a Dad, and a son, and a Sunday afternoon...

  1. I love your scripture meditation LuAnne. It's nice to "see" your husband and son relaxing. And your book list...when I placed our school book order, I included a few for me with the half hearted promise to myself to not order any more books until I have read what I already have. I may have to save some of your suggestions on my wishlist .

  2. Love the hanging the laundry part. I love to hang my laundry, although I've never had my husband do it :) God Bless.

    1. Oh, it is so yummy! The only problem I'm having now, is that my garden is almost out of broccoli! Enjoy!
