Wonderful Wednesday

This day is turning out to be a wonderful word filled Wednesday. First I made a telephone call to a friend at the college I attended and she told me about 2 jobs that will be posted in the next day or two. I have calcification's for both of them. I will apply and see what happens. Next I was reading a post from a friend I have made and she had a web site that if you like cooking and baking for Christmas this is a site to visit and can get it from my list of links. It is called North Pole. Then I heard the sound of a combine. Our neighbor has a huge John Deere combine in a very small field of corn. It will only take him a round and a half to get it. It will take just a few minutes to pick but 10 minutes to turn it around to finish the field.

Today's holiday is not one of my favorite days, but it has turned out to be a wonderful fall day so the children will have a safe Trick or Treating evening in our small town. Our Church is hosting a party for the kids of the town for an alternative. Good knows how to brighten up a day that starts our cold and gray.

Submission

For two weeks now the Lord has been leading me to the book of Ephesians and the chapter and verses concerning submission of a wife to her husband. In the two weeks I have read different devotions on the subject that has been leading up to today. Today in the Ladies Bible Study I attend we discussed Sarah and what joys came to her when she submitted totally to God. Between Genesis and Ephesians I have finally realized something, for God to answer a pray of mine I must fully submit to my husband. When I do that I believe God will answer the pray and wonderful joys will come my way.

Wash Day

As a young girl I was told that Monday is to be set a side for wash day. I remember my Mom washing with a wringer washing machine. I liked to help and one day I stuck my hand through the wringer, Mom came running and fell spraining her ankle to get to me she forgot her pain and shut the washer off and took my hand out. Our Dr. lived at the end of our block so Mom hobbles down with me to make sure I had not broken anything. Thank the Lord she just had a small sprain and I had not broken anything so the wash was finished and hung on the line.

So 55 years later I have a washer and dryer that is up to date with the times. I still hang clothes on the line in good weather so today that is what I have been doing. I can not wait to smell the clothes as I take them off the line. How God has helped in the inventions of different generations to make it easier for the cleaning of clothes. What will our grandchildren have to wash their clothes? I can not wait to see.

Seven Events for the Past Week

This was an interesting week. Some praises-Some old friends
1. I received an e-mail from a friend who was going through some depression and he said he is getting help and his humor is coming back. Thanks for the prayers.

2. A beautiful fall day for my husband to pick corn and the yield is better than he was expecting.

3. Our car was sent in for repair and came back as good as new. Now safe to drive

7. A fellowship after Church for the two from Purdue and a joy to watch them eat what they call home cooked food and the conversations that went on thought out the meal.

Thankful Thursday and Computers

I am very thankful today for help with a computer problem. My computer is OK, but a few weeks ago I helped a friend from the college I attended that needed some information I had on a ZIP disk. Well, she took the disk to campus to download on a flash drive, but could not find a computer on campus that had a Zip Drive. She called for help. I have another friend on campus who is the Computer TECH for a department. Thankfully he will be able to help her so all is well. What an awesome God to create all the new technology and individuals to teach that technology we have today.

Tuesday For Girls

A few years ago I started noticing what girls were wearing to college. For some of them it was short skirts and low cut tops. My girls are in their mid twenties and the style of clothes for them when they were teenagers was a more modest way of dress. When I started seeing what the girls were wearing I decided to take a look in stores in a mall that catered to their age group. The poor girls have no choice of what to wear. It was decided for them to wear short skirts and low cut tops. I decided to take a survey of freshmen collage girls and found out that a majority of them did not like the styles, but had very little choice from the stores they visited. One girl I meet had the opportunity to visit China and her parents gave extra money to buy clothes there. The Culture of China is a more Conservative drees country so she came back with clothes she was happy to wear. They were longer skirts, higher cut tops, and jeans that were not so tight. Maybe as mothers we must starting writing to designers for change.
