Welcome to my weekly post, Daybook Online Journal here at The Littlest Way<\/strong>. This is a post where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I\u2019m reading or listening to\u2026eating and cleaning and learning\u2026These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life; and I want to remember them. I would love to read your Daybook Online Journal, just leave it in the comments section below.

Thanking God for…<\/strong>
\n::seeing our friend Joe (the owner of the farm we live on, Grandpa like friend)
\n::beautiful Sunday weather for grilling and 4-wheeler rides
\n::rained out soccer games (shhh, don’t tell)
\n::s’mores and hot dogs
\n::Panera with a friend<\/p>\n

Praying…<\/strong>
\n::for clarity and discernment–same thing?
\n::for my children and remembering to be thankful for their health
\n::for those families who are dealing with medical issues
\n::for our friend Joni
\n::for Joe and Nancy
\n::for our priests<\/p>\n

Pondering…<\/strong>
\nI’m pondering how the crosses we carry and the struggles we think just might kill us, serve a good. Those intense years of mental struggle I dealt with have helped me to become a more positive person. I am able to understand when someone cries out, “I just can’t…”<\/a> I won’t lie and say it’s easy looking back, but I can see some of the good that came out of it, regardless of how painful and scary it is to look back at that time.<\/p>\n

Listening to…<\/strong>
\nThe washing machine doing it’s work, kids outside playing for lunch break, and today we listened to this song, Soulcake, sung by Sting.<\/a> My children can’t stop singing it!<\/p>\n

Reading…<\/strong>
\nMy large print Bible<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Cheerful Chats for Catholic Children: Short Stories for Catholic Children with a Moral and a Prayer following each Anecdote.<\/a>\"\"
\nI read this to the little boys at bath time each night. I read at least one short story to them–until they beg for two!<\/p>\n

Bible Journaling…<\/strong>
\nHave you printed off the Bible Journaling pages?<\/a> If I may say so, I love them! I’m considering printing off enough for the year and having them bound. I may decrease the size though to maybe an 8.5 X 5?<\/p>\n

Around the House…<\/strong>
\nWe had a major house clean in anticipation of seeing Joe (or Joe Joe as the kids call him). I say this after a major clean, “Let’s try to keep it like this.” Obviously if I say it after each major house clean, it doesn’t stay that way forever.<\/p>\n

In the Kitchen…<\/strong>
\nI had s’mores and a hot dog on All Hallows Eve<\/a>. Obviously not Trim Healthy Mama!<\/a> I felt crummy the next day…back on plan for me. We are getting ready to add some venison to our freezer…yay! It’s time for some Frito Chili Pie!<\/p>\n

Our Domestic Church…<\/strong>
\nNovember is the month dedicated to remembering the Poor Souls, so this month in the evenings when we say our family rosary instead of the Fatima prayer after each decade, “O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.”<\/em> we will pray, “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and may perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Saving Money…<\/strong>
\nI read this quote the other day in Money-Making Mom<\/a>\"\" that keeps going around in my head, “Live simply so others can simply live.” I’m trying to keep this in the front of my mind as I plan Christmas gifts, wandering through Sam’s or clicking around Amazon.<\/p>\n

Captured…<\/strong>
\nHappy Monday Morning to you!<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Good Morning Monday. Shall I tell you my plans or would you rather surprise me?<\/a><\/p>\n
