Pamela's Daybook: July 22nd



Today: We took off after lunch, picked up Emily and Emma to go to Alexandria's farmer's market. Emily picked up McAlister's tea for us. We like Alexandria's farmer's market because our favorite Soap and Apothecary Company is always there. Also, John Buntain sells kettle corn for missions. Today we found tomatoes, toe jam (for the grands), and whole wheat sourdough bread. It was fun. John gave Emma a bag of popcorn and she was so delighted. 

At my writing desk: I didn't get done this morning, so I'll be catching up tomorrow.

Praying for: Germany -- again. I wish the violence would stop.

Thankful for: The names of Jesus -- all 200 of them, that reflect who He is and what He does for us. The Bread of Life, The Holy One, King of Kings, The Light of the World...

I'm reading: Still reading "The Potter's Daughter" for fun. 

Journaling prompt for today: The first book I remember is... My Uncle Gaither and Aunt Posie didn't have children, so they would come {very early} to see us open our Christmas gifts. They brought us a large picture book of farm animals. My sister will deny this: I think it was mine, but I also think it's in her library.

Postmarking: Bought some cards today to use to send to police officers. I've received most of the addresses, and tomorrow will get the lists to those who wish to send to them.  

Favorite quote: I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need. Charles Spurgeon

    I'm praying for Germany as well! So tragic. :(

    Like your Spurgeon quote says, "We have a great Christ."

    I love farmer's markets! I look forward to getting to visit the one near by my home very soon. I have a friend who is currently a missionary in Germany so my family is praying for them as well. Thank you for sharing. :)

    Your trip to the farmer's market sounds great. Curious... does your favorite apothecary and soap co. have a website? Also, how does your friend John sell popcorn for missiones? I'm a missionary and really interested in involving more friends in the states with what we do here in Costa Rica, but in creative ways- not just the typical prayer and financial support. Thanks in advance!

    I have recently removed all news from my life so unfortuantely I have no idea about Germany but will keep them in prayer for peace. On another note,what is Toe Jam I'm assuming it's not the lint in between your toes?

    The names of God have always amazed me. May the Good lord who is also called Jehovah Shalom (God of peace) bring peace into Germany. Amen.

    Amen! I love your blog posts as you know already <3 When you write my creative brain get visual and I see a story.
    Thanks for the prayers for Germany. My husband is German but he lives here in Norway with me. It is tragic with all the stuff going around in the world at the moment. Bless you.

    The first book I remember is "The secret garden". My mother read it to me when I was 5 years old.
