All dressed up and nowhere to go - my new "yeti couture" boots (see photo below) super comfy, keeps my toes warm and it was a steal, the rest is my usual uniform of jeans, long-sleeved tee and a black hoodie
Our daily bread - it's meatless Friday so it's looking like a tuna casserole evening
All around me - a general tidy despite this mama being ill. The hubby made sure he went back to work today (after a two days off) with a clean house for me to not slave over. He is an amazing human being.
Food for thought - the necessity of faithful, prayerful friends/family. On my sickbed this week I could hardly pray and in that vulnerable moment my faith was really tested. When no words or heavenly thought would come I just told the Lord to consider the merits of those praying for me in the way that He saw the faith of the friends of that paralyzed man lowered by his friends through the roof (Luke 5:17-26). Pray for your friends!
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good - a successful cataract extraction surgery for our youngest. It was found shortly after birth but the eye doc decided it was best to wait to get it out. The waiting is done and over with, recovery is going well.
On Santa's "nice" list - coveting a Kindle Fire, a dutch oven, a hip necklace (I don't know exactly what that is but I want one) and a shiny snowflake brooch (my old one is tarnished).
On the crafting-challenged list - looking for an easy gingerbread house recipe, nothing fancy, no eggs of course and something that even little hands can make.
On the reading list - just finished reading the life of St. Jean Marie Vianney, he "followed" me everywhere this year so I finally capitulated
. What an amazing (and intimidating) life! Reading the lives of the saints really challenges me to live my own vocation heroically for the love of God. O Come, O Come Emmanuel - can't believe it's almost Gaudete Sunday. There's nothing very Christmas-y in our house yet. Our Advent wreath, Jesse Tree and outdoor lights are up but that's it, we've been too busy. Hoping that we can at least have our Christmas dishes up by tomorrow.
Random snapshots -
baby getting ready for surgery and my new "yeti couture" boots, I did say random shots right?
