One of my favorite, vintage books, "Beautiful for Thee." |
I am slowly feeling better. But I will have several Jane Austen days before I am ready for normal activity. Last night, I did a little sewing and finished an apron. I plan to cut some new material this morning.
I am going to read passages from Beautiful for Thee, which was published in 1978. It is a charming pink book full of godly messages for wives and mothers. Each chapter is a transcript from a speaker at an event that was hosted by The Sword of the Lord publishers. I love the vintage photographs of each speaker, and the brief description of who they were.
I am looking forward to a restful day by the fire. I will not care that chores are not being done, but I will do my best to make things look pleasant.
Blessings
Mrs. White

While my routines and duties
ReplyDeleteare curtailed due to broken bones,
I am reminded of and grateful for this:
The Lord uses physical needs and means
to teach me spiritual truths.
Praying refreshment & healing for you there
by the home fires.

I have recently found your blog and all I can say is WOW. You have really inspired me to be a much better homemaker, Don't tell anyone but I can be a bit sloppy. Usually from my baking, too bad I don't enjoy cleaning as much. I have prayed for you health.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your gentle words1 I found a used copy of this book and just ordered it! Blessings, Dee
ReplyDeleteYou have realized the first step, that you have an issue. Now take a stand and overcome it. You can do it. Where there is a will there is a way.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday! And, wow! Were you here while I lived in Stowe? I am amazed that anyone in Vermont dares to speak of God, and am so relieved to find someone there who can. I do hope you are feeling better soon. I imagine it is just freezing outside.

Glad to know you are feeling better! Happy Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your post I just went and bought a copy should be here between 2/16 and 3/6 (hopefully sooner LOL) I had to get the paperback but I can't wait to enjoy it.
