Pamela's Daybook: June 15th




Today: This has been a quiet day here. Like many of you, we've kept the news on. We are grieving for the families in Florida who lost their loved ones in such a terrifying way. Finally I just had to turn it off and listen to Pandora. "Open the Eyes of my Heart" is my prayer.

At my writing desk: I worked on curriculum until almost 11:00 last night. So this morning I worked on it first while my brain was fresh. You just may be a children's editor if your work space is surrounded by paper turned into crowns, staplers, colored pens, etc. God gave me such a great way to tell the story this morning. I had to see if it would work. It did!

Praying for: The family of the little boy who was taken by an alligator at Disneyworld. My heart can barely stand the thought of it.

Thankful for: Raspberries! My bush is blooming. RB brought in the first two ripe ones this morning.

I'm reading:  I'm reading Abraham's story in Genesis. It's where I'm editing curriculum, and I find immersing myself in the same Scripture keeps me focused. 


Postmarking: Going to get three done tonight. I'm so happy that my Facebook friends send me requests -- many I wouldn't know about. We don't just send a card; we pray for the needs, too.

Favorite quote: If we don't teach our children to follow Christ, the world will teach them not to. (unknown)

  2. It's been a heart-breaking week for sure, we have also been following the news and the devastation. Our world needs Jesus for sure.
    But on a good note: raspberries! I don't have any raspberries yet myself, but we picked our first strawberries yesterday and yes, it was a welcome treat!

  3. Ugh the little boy is gut wrenching being the mother of a almost 2 year old and just having vacationed at Disney in April. I am an ear bird and that's when my best work is done. Kudos to you for being so diligent with your curriculum. It's nice to peak in on your day. Hope today was just as productive!

  5. My heart is so heavy for the family of the boy at Disney. As the mom of a 5 month old, it breaks my heart so much for his family. I can't imagine.

  6. The situation with the boy is so sad. We lost my nephew, who was also 2 years old and it's just the worst and saddest thing ever :(
