LOOK AT THESE WOMEN

What are they doing?

Simply gathering water at the well?



Indulge me for a brief moment and imagine yourself right there among them.



Quiet. Listen... do you hear them?

Do you hear the laughter from those women headed off to the left?

I wonder what happened that was so amusing.



What about the group on the top right... they're gathered together,

most likely praying, encouraging, comforting one another.



Those around the well, do you think the older ones are giving the younger ones advice?

Training them, showing the the way?



Do you think these women look forward to their daily journeys to the well?

The journey where they will see other women, their friends.

The journey during which they share their daily burdens and triumphs.



What if you had a place to go like that?

A place away from the world that sneers at you, laughs at you, keeps you down.

A place to laugh.

A place to encourage and be encouraged.

A place to comfort and be comforted.

A place to share your wisdom and gain from anothers.

A place to teach and a place to learn.

A place to spend time at your Saviors feet.

A place to start your week off right.

A place.... like the well.



Does that sound like a journey you would like to take?

If so, join us on a journey to the well.

Day Book Feb 15th

FOR TODAY  February 15th


Outside my window...  Ugly mud on top of the white snow.  Makes me wonder why when Jesus washes us white as snow and we're so beauiful, we go and tromp mud on top of it.

I am thinking...  Next year for Valentines Day my husband and I really need to acknowledge it at least.

I am thankful for... Good friends

From the kitchen... Mmmm... Chili tonight.  However my son ate all the Frito chips, so I have to go by the grocery store on the way home now.

I am wearing... My Acquire the Fire T.  Getting geared up to go again this weekend!

I am creating...  Meal planners and chore charts!  Trying to organize and delagate!

I am going... to try and start over... do better.

I am reading... Becoming a woman who pleases God

I am hoping... I can be a postive influence at home.

I am hearing... the wind blow outside - terrible!

Around the house...  Had a great weekend sewing and now I'm in a creative mood.  I want to redo a few things to simplify.

One of my favorite things...  Feeling like I've accomplished things, scratched off my to do list.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Getting my hair cut mid week and then we're are spending the weekend in the city with the youth from church (Aquire the Fire).

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
