O-H-I-O

Today was a quiet but productive day.  Monday is the day to reset for the new week.  I did not mow last week so the girls and I mowed today.  I did all the trimming and cleaned up all the grass clippings.  Even though it will be the hottest day of the week, I am glad to get it done right off the bat at the beginning of the week.  It looks good and that makes me feel good. :)

We have to have leftovers for dinner because I don't have a car to get any groceries.  Ha!

I also cleaned the house and caught up on the laundry from the weekend.  And I gave my kitty a hundred kisses.  He's such a sweet boy.

Can you believe it is fall?  I need to finish our fall bucket list and print it.  Do you have a fall bucket list?  You can have a bucket list for whatever you want!  We love fall so we have one for fall.  :)

Just a thought to leave you with today I heard a guest share on my husband's podcast.  OHIO.  It stands for Only Handle It Once.  What that means is stop putting off small things.  When you think of that little thing that may only take a minute or two to accomplish, just do it.  If you don't, it will take up your mental real estate all day!  You won't accomplish anything bigger because you can only think about those little nagging things that need done.  I'm going to really focus on doing this in my life and I hope you will too.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
