• Simple Pleasures in October

  

  ~  the glorious colors

  ~  The gift of a *bale* of large bubble wrap,
  left on my pillow by The Man.
  He really does love me!

  ~  Anticipation – it’s free, it’s rich, it’s wonderful

  ~ Pictures of the gospel in daily life.
  In my job I take responsibility for problems
  I didn’t create (along with all the ones I did).
  It’s not all beer and skittles.
  But a bright floodlight recently turned on for me:
  Christ took my sins on Himself when it wasn’t His fault.
  I am putting on His righteousness, which I didn’t earn.
  Those pictures, ya know, are everywhere.

  ~ being prepared for winter
  (my husband gets credit for this…
  and my son who tilled the garden)

  ~ some lovely blogs
  All three writers have much in common:
  they love the life they’ve been given,
  they are beyond excellent cooks,
  they love making their homes comfortable,
  they think,
  and they are all part of my real life!!
  They are my simple pleasures.

  ~  Lindsey at DrunkwithJoy loves bright colors,
  interior decorating, scratch cooking, good words,
  and her loveable husband Jon.
  Lindsey is a very wise young woman.
  Hostess Gift Ideas and Fat Mothers are two of my favorite recent posts.

  ~Rebecca at A Covenant Life has designed two houses, raised
  four kids, started a line of soaps she makes,
  is drop dead beautiful, rides horses
  and is an avid reader to boot! Check out
  The Heart and Soul of a Covenant Home and
  The Anatomy of a Covenant Wedding,
  full of pictures and thoughts and the
  words of her husband spoken to
  their adopted daughter
  at her wedding.

  ~ Sunshine at Artistic Housewife is my neighbor!
  She brings sunshine wherever she goes.
  MOB (Mail Order Brides) explains why men live in this valley
  and why the women who love them left the city behind.
  In Where Everybody Knows Your Name
  Sunshine explains why she no longer shops in her pajamas.
  Sunshine. has. read. all. of. William. Shakespeare.
  The. complete. works.
