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.

The Womans Daybook...

Each Monday there will be a new Journal Entry added to the Simple Woman's Daybook.  Go on over for details and lets spend some time in reflection together!



FOR TODAY  February 4, 2010

Outside my window...  It's cold.  It is fixin' to snow... again.  People are walking, driving, trying to reach their destinations before dark and before snowfall.

I am thinking...I'm inside where it's nice and cozy.  I try not to take it for granted.

I am thankful for... My life.  My family.  My Savior.

From the kitchen... There's always room for improvement there!  It's actually an area where I strive to do better. 

I am wearing... Black (ugh)  Wishing I were home in my jeans and "I'd rather be in my Garage" comfy sweatshirt I stole from my husband.

I am creating... a more harmonious homelife.

I am going... to make a difference.

I am reading... Johns Story

I am hoping... to begin a successful weekly bible study with friends.

I am hearing...  Loud trucks go by... they really annoy me.

Around the house...  Messy. Warm. Cozy. Love.

One of my favorite things...  Worship Music

A few plans for the rest of the week... Preparing for our bible study that begins on Monday.  I'm in the mood for a little sewing and kitchen re-organization...

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

That's awesome! I wanna play! Maybe I'll do mine on Sundays. :) Or maybe Friday... you can do the beginning of the week, and I can do the end. xoxo
