I am trying to write more notes too Mrs T. I know how it lifts my heart to receive a note in the mail! Happy January!318 neenita
ReplyDeleteMrs T, I've been meaning to write a few notes and for some reason, I just don't sit down to do it. I will move this task to the top of my list!
ReplyDeleteHi ladies!
ReplyDeleteLast week, I managed to write several encouraging (I hope!) notes to friends. It was a great feeling to have taken time to do that.
Thanks to both of you for stopping in at my kitchen table. It's always a delight to see you here. Happy January to you both!
I greatly enjoy reading your goals! They are such an encouragement!!
ReplyDeleteI am curious about the book you are reading, How to Build Your Home on Holy Ground? Sorry if I missed a link to it ... I do that often :(.
Hope you are having a blessed week :).
Happy wife, I hope your family is feeling much better by now. Sure sounds as if you have had a pretty rough time of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were encouraged by my goals! They are simple but it's all I can do to keep up with them (somewhat).
As for the book -- How to Build Your Home on Holy Ground is the subtitle. The actual title is Finding Your Purpose as a Mom and the book is by Donna Otto. I purchased it because I had heard Donna Otto speak on a radio program and was really blessed by what she shared. I thought the book might be an encouragement to young moms in my life but I wanted to read it first before recommending it. The book is really excellent (at least as much as I have read so far -- I am about halfway through it) and I am finding myself encouraged and challenged by it even at this time of life. So anyway -- I hope that helps. I found my copy used on Amazon.
No, you didn't miss any links. I hope to post a review of the book when I finish it and will share a link then.
I am looking forward to your review :).
ReplyDeleteWe still have lots of coughing going on and some stomach issues, but thankfully I think we are on the other side of it :).
I meant to mention in my last comment that your A -store link does not work. I had to ask Carrie what an A store was when I saw her :).
Thank you again!
Hi again, 1happywife!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you think you are on the upward side of the sickness. I hope Nikki and Josh and their family are doing better now as well.
I did just try the A-store link and it worked for me. (I think you have to click right on the words Kitchen Table Collection.) It took me right to it and I was able to move around and look at the various categories, so I think it must be working. I will take another look tomorrow, as I need to get serious with it. I don't think anyone has ever bought anything there, but there's always a first time, right?
Hope your family continues to feel better!
