Thanking God for…<\/strong>
\n::raising my children on a piece of land
\n::shopping with my daughters and friends at GW Boutique (Goodwill)
\n::laughing with Bernadette through the grocery store
\n::Mass, Soup and Stations on Friday night
\n::Chris coming into the office all the time when I’m working in here
\n::repair man coming to look at the dishwasher on Friday
\n::getting a cow! Technically she’s a heifer–but pregnant<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Praying…<\/strong>
\nI am praying for those with cancer: Joe, Shelby, Elizabeth etc. I am praying for me as a momma. The realization has been with me this week, I am not raising a boy<\/a>, I am raising a boy who will become the head of a family or a church someday…wow, that’s a huge responsibility. I’m praying for my daughters and sons…this world, ugh…and sigh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pondering…<\/strong>
\nI’m pondering charity and hospitality. \u00a0I’m pondering something we all laughed about recently, how did such an introvert like myself end up with so many extroverted children! \u00a0Good one God!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Listening to…<\/strong>
\nI’m listening to Alan Jackson sing old Gospel Hymns<\/a> and the dryer do its constant job.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reading…<\/strong>
\nMy Bible–The NRSV Notetaker’s Bible<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

My Lenten Reading–Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives: The Life and Teachings of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica<\/a>\"\"\u00a0(The above quote about our thoughts came from the introduction of this book.)<\/p>\n

My Daily Devotionals–Divine Intimacy: Meditations on the Interior Life for Every Day of the Liturgical Year<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

Small Steps for Catholic Moms: Your Daily Call to Think, Pray, and Act (Catholicmom.com Book)<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Bible Journaling…<\/strong>
\nThis week and weekend were pretty busy so I have not had the time to devote to Bible Journaling. I will Sunday morning though–I’ve started writing this Saturday night. Did you see where I’ve started tabbing my favorite verses or stories? (Bible Journaling: Favorites Tabs)<\/a> I’ve started doing this so I can find these favorites easily.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Around the House…<\/strong>
\nI cleaned out my closet on Friday afternoon and gathered six bags–one trash and five to be donated. I do share a closet with Leo so not everything was mine, but still…I need to go through each room and do the same thing–mercilessly–until I rid our home of clutter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Kitchen…<\/strong>
\nHaving a few cheats here and there since December equals a forgotten sugar addition not so forgotten. I’m going to start weaning myself back off, per Chris’ instruction. He doesn’t want me to go cold turkey off my morning and evening hot Chai, lol!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Domestic Church…<\/strong>
\nIt was so good to attend Mass, enjoy soup at our parish and then attend Stations of the Cross. This used to be a constant up until a few years ago and then I honestly think I just got tired and needed a break. Not a break from devotions or Church, but sometimes not having to leave the house with a bunch of people is a good thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saving Money…<\/strong>
\nDid you see we got a cow! And she’s pregnant! And in the late Spring\/ early Summer we should be getting a steer! Once they get big enough we’ll butcher them, keeping some of the meat for ourselves and selling the rest. Also, our chickens have started laying! Chris and Luke hooked up two lights–one per coop, and they have started laying. We have a couple of egg eaters that need to be taken care of though.<\/p>\n
