Welcome to my weekly post, Daybook Online Journal here at The Littlest Way. This is a post where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I’m reading or listening to…eating and cleaning and learning…These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life; and I want to remember them. I would love to read your Daybook Online Journal, just leave it in the comments section below. You can use my prompts or make up your own to include items important to you; mine change depending on season and circumstance.

Praying…
I’m praying for the hearts of my children. I want to always keep them close–not physically, that would be unrealistic, but I’d like for our hearts to be close. I pray this is not unrealistic. I’m praying for our family in general. There are so many prayers, so many intentions, some of them are so deep I’m not even sure words do them justice.
Please share your prayer intentions in the comments and I’ll add them to mine this week.
Pondering…
How to be a momma to my oldest, graduating senior–what does that look like? How do I do it well? This is really important to me. How to be a momma all the way down to the four year old–I know what this looks like, he’s my seventh four year old…but there is always room for improvement. And then there’s being a momma to the five in between those two…
Listening to…
Some of this is being written Sunday night. I’m listening to the boys playing, Chris getting things settled for the coming week, Bernadette getting her school lined out for the coming week, the dog barking and other sundry Sunday happenings.
Reading…
My large print Bible
Bible Journaling…
Not particular to Bible journaling alone but I wrote the other day on Choosing the Right Catholic Bible. I included information about the only Catholic Bible I’m aware of right now with wide margins for Bible journaling.
Around the House…
We did a major clean Friday since we were expecting out of town family for a quick visit. It fell apart between seven soccer games Saturday and Sunday.
In the Kitchen…
Monday–Frito Chili Pie
Tuesday–Beans, Chips and Cheese
Wednesday–Pork Chops
Thursday–Hamburgers
Friday–Breakfast
Saturday–Crockpot Chicken something
Our Domestic Church…
Our friend from Church who organized the potluck to learn more about the Rogation Days has uploaded a book about this beautiful tradition of the Church, Ember and Rogation Days.
Saving Money…
I plan on writing soon about how we paid off our home in six years…hopefully this week it will be ready.

I ask for prayers for my young son in law and daughter as they deal with his health challenges this year. And please keep me in your prayers for a special intention . I think the Sirach bible study will be perfect timing for me..and thank you for the ‘ bring your bible’ group…..wonderful! Jenny, you are a blessing in my life.
Thanks Anne and I’m remembering your prayer intentions.
Prayer intention: Jenny, please pray for me as I continue to work toward positive thinking. I’ve ordered a couple books on the subject (one you recommend on one of your posts) and for whatever reason I have a tickling fear that I can’t do it. However, I also get the feeling that this “work” is very important for me and I want to seize every opportunity. I’m pretty sure you get what I’m getting at. Thanks for your beautiful blog. Holly
I will definitely pray for you. I understand that tickling fear. But I am telling you…You Can Do It. That tickling fear is the enemy trying to keep you where you are and You Deserve Better. And yes, I found it to be a very important work. I leaned into every pain and it was scary, but I knew there was truth and freedom on the other side…Ok, maybe I didn’t quite know truth and freedom at the time, but I do now. At the time I just knew I needed to go through it all and feel it all.
Thank you Jenny for what you are doing in our Bring your Bible group. I ask prayer for healing of my spine, and less pain. But always, not my will, but your will my loving God. Thank you Jenny, and I will add your prays to mine. God bless you on this beautiful. Monday
You’ve been in my prayers Marci. I appreciate each and every one of you 🙂
