My December 2020 Simple Woman Daybook

For Today: 12/7/20

_____________________________

Looking out my window

It is COLD outside. Burrrr…Our high for today is 41 degrees.

I am thinking

This has been a challenging year but Jesus is still King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

I am thankful

That God woke me up this morning.

One of my favorite things

Enjoying the Christmas season with my family as well as my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I am creating

Treats for neighbors and friends as well as preparing Christmas cards to mail out this week.

I am wearing

A mocha-colored poncho, jeggings (jean), boots.

I am reading

Daily scriptures with my family for Advent. We also have a little treat to snack on when doing this.

I’ve been watching

Classic Christmas movies.

I am listening to

Our favorite Christmas hymns and songs.

I am hoping

COVID doesn’t put a damper on anyone’s Christmas season.

I am learning

To stay calm in the midst of any storm.

In my kitchen

From Thrive Market

Got this month’s Thrive Market order. YAY!

Post Script

Laura put together a really nice list of things she loves about her husband. In my bullet journal, I have been keeping a list of things I’m thankful for about my hubby each month.

Shared Quote

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,

casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”.

-1 Peter 5:6-7

A moment from my day

I just love Christmas trees with lights and shiny ornaments. My hubby, son, and I all worked hard to get this tree all dolled up. :-)
