Daily Devotionals :: Day 4

I have a habit of buying a new devotional book at the start of each year and abandoning it by February.    Unlike the others tucked away on a distant bookshelf, these three books have earned their permanent place on my desk, there in a moment's reach for inspiration and peace.




1.Once a Day Every Day for Women - I found this gem at Wal Mart and recommend it for anyone who wants to read through the entire Bible in an orderly and easy way.  Each page has a short reflection, a quotation from scripture, quotations from famous Christians and a "Timely Tip" at the end of the page.  At the top of each page is "Today's Bible Reading" which includes a chapter from the Old Testament and from the New Testament.  Easy!


2.    Small Steps for Catholic Moms: Think. Pray. Act. Every Day. [Book]  If you want the shortest possible devotional that still packs a lot of punch try Small Steps for Catholic Moms by Danielle Bean and Elizabeth Foss.  Each day contains three small entries under the categories: Think, Act, Pray.  There is a companion website here that has more resources as well.




3.Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence - Devotions for Every Day of the Year - By: Sarah Young I know I have mentioned this beautiful devotional here before but now it has an APP for your iPhone or iPad.  Best of all, they offer a FREE Lite Version.   I liked this book so much that I gave it as a gift to many people last Christmas.  




What are your favorite daily devotionals?  I can always use a new one!

    Hi Misty, you have a lovely blog. I found an old one which talked about a refreshing red wine drink which brought me to this later blog. Now that I have found your blog, I am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued. I believe a nourished family will lead to a nourished world. I believe life is beautiful and that our divine purpose in this world is to nurture the earth by respecting it and being grateful for what it provides us. My wish is to inspire others to create beautiful, honest and satisfying lives. My Other Ex: Women's True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends   @A Design So Vast Unfortunately, over the pa...

At the Water's Edge {52 Photos Project}

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that where we live, day after day, is actually a vacation destination for many people who come from far away to spend a weekend on the beach. They may have saved money for months to afford a few days splashing around in the waves and relaxing on the san that makes up our neighborhood. I feel such gratitude that I can zip down the beach road on a whim, as we did yesterday, with less than two hours to spare; we simply needed to swim in the sea. It was almost 100 degrees outside and the sun gleamed in a brilliant blue sky. So off we went, while Kai was at camp, to the beach.  The older two boys swam gleefully as I read Bread and Wine and dreamed of delicious meals to make my sun-kissed family for dinner. At one point I looked up and snapped this photo of my view. Then I pinched myself. This really is our home , our daily vacation spot, the place my boys have now lived for longer than anywhere else in their lives. We are living this beachy ...

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven b...
