 Worth Another Cup is an end-of-the-week post highlighting 3 links that I found, enjoyed in one way or another and thought I'd pass along to you. Take a few moments to check them out, they may be worth another cup. From Small Things...Mending Days From FIMBY...Fall Intentions From Crosswalk...Jesus vs. Spirituality (Please note that the simple woman is post-free on the week-ends.)

Some days there is just a sadness that can loom upon our spirit. A sadness that we can not quite put our finger on, could be the weather, could be moodiness, could be a thought of worry or a memory of hurt. Those days naturally come and go in our lives, but for some it can turn into a pattern of pain. It is a sadness that not just looms as fog and quickly clears giving way to bright skies and

Recently, I completed leading a bible study with ladies at my church using the book entitled, Lord, Teach Us To Pray by Kay Arthur. So I thought what better book to share with all of you in this "wordseeds" space. This book is a life changer and will help you to stop, think and listen! It will help give you a beautiful desire to stop and seek what God has to say about prayer. It will cause you

For the introduction and page one of this series, you may find it here. Offerings of Time I sit here after checking the weather, the snow has stopped, stars shine bright and as I run my hand across my fragrant Rosemary plant breathing deeply, all seems right with the world. My mind goes back to a day last spring, a perfect day. We came out of the library bounding up the street to the car and

So if you have yet to check out the lovely book, Christ, My Companion by Marilyn Chandles McEntyre, let me entice you with one last mind stilling quote. Marilyn writes, "The Christ who walks behind gathers what we scatter even when it is not ripe grain but the detritus of broken promises and failures and poor choices. The sins of some, Paul writes to Timothy, "trail behind them" (1 Tim. 5:24)

FOR TODAY Outside my window...cold days that cause nature to rest hard and sleep deeply I am thinking...that winter is finally here! I am thankful...for a warm home and a husband that sees to it by cutting, loading, splitting, carrying, stacking and unloading wood for our stoves In the kitchen...a clean and tidy fridge I am wearing...new dark-wash skinny jeans, grey pull-over, soft black vest,

While going back over pages of what once was here at the simple woman blog, I came across my pine mountain diary pages. I had gotten to page 5 and something else must have popped up because that is where it stopped. I wondered how it had gotten lost, because it was and still is something near and dear to my heart. I thought I might breath some life into it again with a new page. Winters'

One of the goals I have for this blog is to share good books! Ones that I have read or am currently reading through, gleaning from or pondering deeply. It is always nice to hear what others are currently reading or have read in the past that made a statement or impact in their life. The titles that I plan on sharing have surely dropped seeds into my own life and perhaps by sharing they will take

There are always wonderful things to take note of in our lives. There are also those things that go un-noted. Blessings can come in the tiniest of packages as well as the largest of boxes, it is up to us to be aware, to realize and to remember. So right now and right where I am...I am taking note of... 29 years of never having to work outside of our home the daily call even for 3 minutes from

"The first reason why quiet time is not attractive to most is that people do not know how to pray. Their storehouse of words is soon exhausted and they do not know what else to say, because they forget that prayer is not a soliloquy, where everything comes from one side, it is a dialogue, where God's child listens to what the Father says, replies to it and then makes his request known." •

Hello dear friends! In some ways I feel like this is a brand new blog and in other ways it feels just like coming home after an extended vacation. The end of June of last year I boarded up the simple woman for a time so I could work on a few projects. Since then a few of those projects that I shared with you have begun taking shape. I am very excited about my little book venture and appreciate
