List three things you are thankful for:
Enjoy the Little Things

Praying and Housekeeping

“Prayer and housekeeping—they go together. They have always gone together. We simply know that our daily round is how we live. When we clean and order our homes, we are somehow also cleaning and ordering ourselves. How we hold the simplest tasks speaks loudly about how we hold life itself.”
Gunilla Norris in Romancing the Ordinary, Sarah Ban Breathnach

Bear One Anothers Burdens
October 5, Evening Tidbit
Help your friends bear their burdens and they will help bear yours.
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Pray Without Ceasing

How are we to fulfill our Lord’s injunction, “that men out always to pray, and not to faint”? By the heart’s prayer which consists in a constant habitual love of God, trusting Him, submitting in all things to His will; and by giving a never failing heed to His voice, as heard within the conscience. Jean Nicolas Grou

Either there is a God supremely good. One whom His children may love and trust to the very uttermost point without the slightest fear of the reality falling short of the heart’s desire, or else there is no God, no love, no forgiveness, no redress. God is wholly good, if good at all, and those who hope in Him will be wiser if they hope with all their hearts than if they hope with only half their hearts. William E. Huntington

Stars, Sparrows and Me
I spent Sept. 22-28th in Redding caring for my Mother-in-law. This is what my heart said:
Down a paved but pot-holed road on a mostly natural two acre piece
of land lives the “Flower Lady”. She has been taming this land by planting
flowers and bushes and trees and bulbs and grasses that would be good
to use in flower arrangements. Ground covers have been planted to help
keep the moisture in the soil. Fruit trees and grape vines are planted with
hope of a harvest, but the birds know exactly when the fruit is ripe.
A vegetable garden is found; fenced from deer and sun-screened from the
long hot days. This rocky, porous soil fights against taming, yet persistent
labor and a dream has worked a memorial to a great, grand lady.
In this place away from the busyness of life you’ll find peace and serenity,
birdsong and animal chatter. Here away from the lights of the world,
all the stars of the heavens can be seen. Here in this place faith assures us:
the God who knows the stars by name and watches each sparrow….cares for me.
Failing and succeeding
October 1, Evening tidbit
Better try something and fail, than try nothing and succeed.
Obedience and Peace

It has been well remarked, It is not said that after keeping God’s commandments, but in keeping them there is great reward. God has linked these two things together, and no man can separate them—
obedience and peace. F. W. Robertsom
Watering Gardens to Make Beautiful Bouquets
This would be my six word Saturday after spending 4 days watering Elmer’s mother’s gardens, picking flowers and watching her arrange them into casual flower garden bouquets. She picks a few of this type and a few of that, some greenery for filler and like magic a $75.00 arrangement.
