It’s the beginning of a new week, so here is my Happy Homemaker for today, and hopefully it helps me to plan the rest of my week. To participate head on over to Sandra’s.
On My Bedside Table:
My Bible.
On My TV:
Nothing
On the Menu for tonight:
Thai Food (someone’s cooking for me tonight!!)
On My To Do list:
Finish slideshow presentation for the upcoming International Day at Tanysha’s school
Make list of ingredients I need to bake – we have a bake sale this Friday.

Mango Salad & Slow Cooked Garlic Chicken – both turned out okay.

No craft planned – but I might find something for the kids to do for Easter.
Looking Forward to:
This week – Holy Week
Songkran Holiday – (Thai New Year)
Homemaking Tip for this week:
Nothing again on this front. I’m so bad when it comes to homemaking.
Favorite Blog post of the Week: (mine of other):
Canvas from Bring the Rain. It’s a long read but worth it.
Favorite photo from last week:
Rain, Rain, Rain. And we are getting lots of it.
Lessons learned the past few days:
I love to read and so often I pick up books that I really enjoy reading about God through other people’s lives and experiences and what they have learnt about God, or what God did in their lives. It’s great and it’s wonderful to learn from others but I’m realizing that I cannot experience God fully through someone else’s experiences. I need to seek God for myself and experience Him the way He wants me too. And this can only really be done by reading the Bible – myself. Getting lost in it and asking God to show me what he means. I need to get back the the basics of spending time reading the bible.
On My Prayer List:
Brenda in Paraguay. She starts chemo this week.
Dad & Mum
My children and Husband.
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verse:
Psalm 119. It’s a long Psalm but it is so worth going over every verse.

I LOVE your lesson learned, so true. I also enjoy reading those kinds of books but as much as I am happy and thrilled for their experiences, I won't get the full meaning of it unless I'm experiencing for myself.
I love Psalm 119!! I have written it in my Bible journal a few times. Have a great Monday!
Your lesson learned is one that I have been dealing with as well! My need to be in God's Word daily...it is food for my soul! Can't live without it!
Enjoyed reading your list! :D
First time visitor. How awesome to live in Thailand. Your rainy day photo is so neat.

This is my first visit to your site and I think the first time I visited someone in Thailand! Your children are beautiful!
Enjoyed reading your loist and I think the lesson you learned is one I need to reflect on as well.
Have a wonderful Easter week!
Enjoy eating someone else's food! I know what a treat that is!
Have a great week!
I completely agree with your lesson learned! There is nothing that can replace reading God's Word!
Your children are absolutely beautiful by the way!
