Hi, my friends. How I wish you could join me today with a warm cuppa by my fireplace and we could chat, tell our stories and be friends. So grab something warm and join me today for Teatime Tuesday.
Today, winds of up to 70 miles an hour blew through my mountain town while snow was blowing every which way. Did I mention that the temperature was below 10 degrees Fahrenheit when I last looked? For some reason, snow used to be beautiful, adventurous, lovely. In the past years, I am less likely to want to drive on the icy highways and risk getting cold by walking outside. So, I wrote a list of 10 things that cheer me and bring me pleasure and joy for the days I am inside with howling wind as my companion.
10 things that bring me small pleasure:
1. Wearing fun earrings every day. I have so many. They are not expensive but all have a memory where I bought them.
2. Wearing lipstick or lip gloss is a Clarkson girl thing
3. A cuppa Yorkshire Gold Tea, of course (or a flat white) in a real china or porcelain cup
4. Lighting several candles
5. Listening to my favorite playlists and beautiful music
6. Breakfast! I love a good warm breakfast
7. Sitting alone and reading my Bible, writing in my journal
8. Walking, walking, walking
9. Reading a Great, warm, heart-felt book
10. Being with my people alone, chatting about everything.
What about you?
Today on my podcast, I am starting a new series—training in truth, virtue, discipling your children. Discipling yourself. What does maturity look like?
“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” - Proverbs 4:18
Parenting is a much bigger part of the Christian life than most care to admit. Under your care are the eternal beings whose courses for eternity will be set, in large measure by what you do. Who and what they become will be shaped by how you relate to them, disciple them, instruct them, love them, counsel them.
