Happy Homemaker Monday
I started this post 20 days ago!
The weather in my neck of the woods:
Very pleasant, cool to cold in the morning and mild days
One of my simple pleasures:
bearded irises and grannies bonnets
On my bedside table:
Hopefully something tomorrow
On my TV:
Good Chef, Bad Chef, Kirstie's Homemade Home, Location Location Location
On the menu for tonight:
A soup with prosciutto in it
On my To Do list:
To work out how to make my daughter's birthday special, I accidently booked a day out that day for her sisters and brother, maybe we could make that work
New Recipe I tried last week:
Chinese Cabbage & Lamb Stir-fry
In the craft basket:
Nothing that I know of
Looking forward to:
Things falling into place for next year, even the end of this year, a busy time in Australia
Homemaking Tip for this week:
If you have a child going overseas, create a Facebook account for yourself
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
"All I will ask you to do is to try and enjoy these times that you get to be a full-time homemaker, serving your husband as you serve the Lord, for whenever the Lord decides to take your husband to heaven, you won't have that opportunity anymore . . . it's a sobering thought, but it's a thought I think about when I feel that I am "going crazy" without "more to do." It also makes me feel more grateful and content to the Lord for my current blessings."

Favorite photo from last week: another photo my daughter took in Kuala Lumpur recently.
Lesson learned the past few days:
Tender Graces are a very sweet thought, it comes from the novel below and is about John 1:16 "From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another." and
Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me. ~ Tennyson
On my Prayer List:I can't remember
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
John as written in Jackina Stark's Tender Grace.
Learning about A W Pink, any thoughts?

BTW, you can really tell the seasons are different where you are. We have had 2 snows already -- before the leaves even started turning. It was beautiful to see the white snow on the brilliant green trees and grass. Reminded me of a Spearmint Gum commercial.
I treasure the reminder to love and serve our dear ones while they (and we) are in the land of the living.
The quote from Tennyson is putting me in a poetry-reading mood. :)
