What’s happening in my home?….

In my kitchen… cleaning and cooking!  Baking 6 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange, lots of snacks and treats.

With our marriage… I’m so thankful for my husband.  I was thinking yesterday about how he has grown in the Lord through the years.  He is just a pillar of strength, a rock spiritually for me and the children,.

With the children… they are really anticipating Christmas break  lol!

Around the homestead… lots of arranging going on… hoping to get the stove inside soon! Harder than it sounds, it weighs about 450 pounds.  It has to be painted first, then fitted for gas logs. I am just not able to breath with wood smoke any longer.

In my “Inner Man”….. I am thankful, so thankful for God’s patience and how He makes all things new. I need Him every moment, and He is just the same as He was the first time I realized He cared for me.

What is your Inner Man? In 2 Corinthians 4 Paul gives us a clue about what he means when he says “the inner man”. In that scripture he says that “our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (4:16 KJV). So for Christians even though there is something about us that is getting old, decaying and deteriorating and dying..there is also something about us that is growing, becoming more alive, richer and stronger every day we live and follow Christ. That is what Paul calls our “inner man.”

Now its your turn……..  let me know what’s in your Homekeeper’s Journal this week….
