His Mercies Are New Every Morning!

"Today is a new day with no mistakes in it." ~~Anne Shirley

Last night, I joined Weight Watchers. This morning when I woke up, that quote from Anne of Green Gables was the first thought in my mind.

Sure, I'm going to screw it up---that's not pessimism talking, that's just reality.

The important thing is that I remember that this is just one day. Tomorrow will, again, be a new day with no mistakes in it!

His mercies are new every morning!

"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." ~Lamentations 3:22-23

Vintage Cabinet for the Homemaking Party

Welcome to the Homemaking Party!

Are you curious about this strange looking photo? Well, I have no explanation for what's in the foreground, but here's what's in the background:

I found this neat vintage cabinet at a yard sale a couple weekends ago and really mulled over getting it. It was $10---but then there was this neat dolly high chair too that I've always wanted---also $10.

I decided to splurge and buy them both. Ha! When I got up to pay, the guy said I could have them both for $10---I didn't even have to say a word! Pretty sweet, huh?

I can't wait to look up all these names and imagine what this could have been used for. I have a feeling it came from Mississippi or Arkansas (judging by license plates and other things in the sale). I recognize the names Oral Roberts and Gordon Lindsay as Pentecostal evangelists, so it should be a fun search!

I apologize that I have no featured bloggers up today. Like most of us, I've been super busy these last few weeks as the weather has changed and school year activities have wrapped up. It's funny how busy I am during the traditional "school year", even though I homeschool!

Anyway, thank you all so much for linking up and I'm promising today to get my act together and bring this blog back around to a community instead of just a place to promote ME ME ME!!

Hope you'll link up with the Homemaking Party and show off your great posts of the week!

Blessings,
Mrs. Sarah Coller
