Outside my window... Another beautiful sunny day, kids sitting in the garden munching peas off the vine and drying off after splashing in the wading pool.

I am thinking... how is it that I was completely caught up on laundry Friday, and now every hamper is overflowing again? Huh? Why is that? Why? LOL

I am thankful for... This beautiful day! Thank you, Lord! How did you know I needed more sunshine?

From the kitchen... leftovers from Taylor's birthday party; chicken wings, burgers and hot dogs, potato salad, and carrot cake.

I am wearing...dark khaki capris and a grey-blue t-shirt.

I am hoping... that I am a better person than I feel like I am, sometimes. Does that make sense?

I am praying... for God to fill me with His love again.

I am listening to...the washing machine go k-chugga-k-chugga-k-chugga.

Around the house... Home blessing day today! Emptying trash cans, washing mirrors, changing sheets, and sweeping out corners.

One of my favorite things... sunshine, a cool breeze, and contented children playing together outside.

A few plans for the rest of the week... still working on the homeschool stuff. Man, it takes a lot of organizing! And how do I not have it all together, yet?

Amy Grant song of the day.... Laura loves her little family; and she's the kind of woman, who loves them with her life...but sometimes in the evening, when the world rests on her shoulders, with four walls closing in, she'll close her eyes...It's not like she misses being younger, though she never was in Vogue magazine or on TV. Her husband loves her dearly, and morning shows her clearly, kiss her little baby girl--Laura she's the queen of the world! Can't imagine ever leaving now, now that she's been saved by Love.

Can I get an Amen?!
