Outside my window...it's hazy/cloudy, leaves are changing colors on the neighbor's trees, 44 degrees
I am thinking...about where my family is today. Dave is in Wheaton, IL for JV Board meetings, and will go downtown to have dinner with Tyler tonight - they'll be sharing together tomorrow in the morning service at Grace Church of DuPage. Caleb and Claire are in Slovakia visiting one of our JV families and seeing the Exit 316 Tour there this week-end.
I am thankful...for six hours with a friend yesterday...coffee at a cool new cafe, dinner at my favorite restaurant.
From the kitchen...Lentil soup, gluten free blueberry-cinnamon scones and salad...having friends, Jonny and Lisa, to share it for dinner tonight.
I am wearing...my red Gull Lake sweatshirt and new, fuzzy, black Crocs that just came in the mail. Makes for a cozy, fall afternoon!
I am reading..."Hoping for Something Better" by Nancy Guthrie...a study on Hebrews. LOVING IT!
I am hoping...that this coming week will fly by. Dave comes home a week from today - already ready to have him home again!
I am going...to call my dad and mom and tell them thanks for the Pumpkin Spice coffee syrup that they sent me a while ago so I could have my favorite fall latte this morning!
I am creating...a new collage on the wall outside my office here at home...have paintings and pictures at the framer and will pick them up on Monday. They are all original art from my kids, including the oil painting that Tyler gave me for my birthday!
I am hearing...quiet, quiet, quiet. It's an odd feeling to be at home all alone...except for Lily, the dog, who is sleeping peacefully downstairs.
I am praying...for a supernatural work of the Lord in the lives of friends we are in the middle of counseling.
Around the house...and all around Frydlant - brilliant, beautiful displays of God's cleverness in giving us seasons! I sure love seeing leaves change into so many gorgeous shades of color.
One of my favorite things...latte and my Bible, sitting in my favorite comfy chair being with the Lord in the morning.
A few plans for this week...prepare the apartment over our garage for dear friends who are coming to stay with us for two weeks to check out JV! A picture I am sharing...of our family all dressed up last week on our way to Claire's ball for the dance class she's taking.
Sounds like a perfect time to take Lily out for a walk and enjoy the crisp air and the fall colors!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've commented before, but just wanted to say I enjoy your blog. My family attended Grace Church of Dupage for about six years when I was growing up - I remember updates from your family in church. Since then I've graduated from college, gotten married, and moved several times but love the memories of GCD.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your family for the life you've chosen in Czech!
