SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAYBOOK..
Outside my window... It has been a cloudy mild day but the bright yellow leaves on the maples out front certainly make the house sunny... smile..
I am thinking...that this wonderful summer like weather will not last much longer and the true Fall will be here..
I am thankful... for the peace that only God can give...
In the kitchen... making a Jewish Apple Cake..
I am creating... new Fall curtains and table runner..
I am going... to Kings Landing..a historical village here in our province..
I am wondering...how our family pictures will turn out which we are hoping to have done ..
I am reading... Hearth and Home by Karey Swan... A book full of recipes for life...
I am hoping... that a prayer I prayed will be answered soon..
I am looking forward to.. celebrating hubby's birthday plus our family Thanksgiving Day this weekend..
Around the house.. I am finishing the Fall decor and drying some flowers to frame and gathering seeds for a few Christmas gifts.
I am pondering.. the greatness of our God as I am doing a study on just how majestic He really is.. Oh, our finite minds can't begin to imagine...
A favorite quote for the day...
OH MIGHTY GOD...
O mighty God, when I behold the wonder
Of nature’s beauty, wrought by words of thine,
And how thou leadest all from realms up yonder,
Sustaining earthly life with love benign,
Refrain:
With rapture filled, my soul thy name would laud,
O mighty God! O mighty God! (repeat)
When I behold the heavens in their vastness,
Where golden ships in azure issue forth,
Where sun and moon keep watch upon the fastness
Of changing seasons and of time on earth.
When crushed by guilt of sin before thee kneeling,
I plead for mercy and for grace and peace,
I feel thy balm and, all my bruises healing,
My soul is filled, my heart is set at ease.
And when at last the mists of time have vanished
And I in truth my faith confirmed shall see,
Upon the shores where earthly ills are banished
I’ll enter Lord, to dwell in peace with thee.

One of my favorite things.. Sunday dinner..
A few plans for the rest of the week.. Finding my woolen fabrics and start cutting them up for a rug, making more mincemeat and apple pies for the freezer..
A valance for my kitchen...
Kind of more Autumn like.....
Joining Peggy and others sharing our week..

Your curtains are beautiful, Faye! Thank you so much for all that you have shared in your Daybook entry today. Praying along with you that your prayers will be answered, my friend. Happy Birthday to your hubby! Hugs to you.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday and almost happy thanksgiving! lovely curtains and aren't you clever to repurpose a vintage item.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is time for Fall decor! I fall very short in that area. I do have a few things I should go out though. Thanks for the reminder and for sharing your daybook! You're very gifted in many areas. Visiting from the link-up.
ReplyDeleteI like your valances as well, keen idea. Apple cake is almost like the one I made from Trisha Yearwood's cookbook earlier this year. I was making a couple desserts for the Seder meal we were putting on at church...it was interesting. A lot of research and preparation. Interesting indeed. I will try this recipe, it's that time of year. I cut some of my hydrangeas tonight and put them in a bucket to dry. Will look up how to make them into a wreath or do you have directions you can email to me? Take care and thanks for sharing your life!
ReplyDeleteHi Faye! Love the pictures and hope all is well. I miss your posts. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love how you turned a table runner into a valance!! It is beautiful :))
