The Simple Womans Day Planner

Just for today:

Outside my window is:   snow and sun.
Today I am thinking about :   getting alot of  housework and schoolwork done.
I am thankful for:   heat and sunshine.
I am wearing:  blue jeans and comfy shirt.
I am remembering:  winters past.
Tonight I am going:   to be taking my son to scouts.
A good book I am reading:  Johnette Benkovic's "Full of Grace".
I am hoping for:  not as much snow this winter as they predict.
On my mind:  my son's grammar lesson.  Hoping he does well.
I am noticing:  a son growing out of his clothes.
Pondering these words from the Bible:   'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jer 29:11
From the kitchen tonight will be:  probably a smorgasbord.
Around this house:  are Christmas decorations coming down.
One of my favorite things:  is being with my family.

Dear Lord help us to educate our family for your glory.

"Since parents have conferred life on their children, they have a most solemn obligation to educate their offspring. Hence, parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate for their failure in it. For it devolves on parents to create a family atmosphere so animated with love and reverence for God and others that a well-rounded personal and social development will be fostered among children. Hence, the family is the first school of those social virtues which every society needs."--Gravissimum Educationis (one of the documents of the Second Vatican Council)
