Visit
Tomorrow I will be visiting my Dad and Stepmom in Canas de Senhorim, in the centre of Portugal. We live in a very small country but the last time I saw them was almost two years ago. Please pray for a safe trip. I'll try to remember taking photos to post here later.

Numa tarde chuvosa, nada melhor do que chá e scones! / In a rainy afternoon, nothing better than tea & scones

Défice
Ontem estava à mesa de um café com a minha filha, ela pegou num jornal que ali estava e leu o título em letras gordas: «Défice custa 1380 euros a cada Português». Perguntou-me o que era o défice e eu lá dei a melhor explicação possível para a sua idade. Ficou com um ar preocupado e disse: «Mãe, e cada um de nós vai ter de pagar 1380 euros?»

Happy Homemaker Monday
The weather in my neck of the woods:
Raining a lot! But I love rain.
One of my simple pleasures:
Reading a good book in a rainy afternoon with a hot cup of tea.
On my bedside table:
A Portuguese book: Mal-entendidos, Nuno Lobo Antunes. It is a book written by a Portuguese doctor, to better understand children with problems like Dyslexia or Asperger Syndrome.
On my TV:
DD is watching Hannah Montana.
On the menu for tonight:
Soup and fruit.
On my To Do List:
Ironing, going to church, taking DD to her dance class...
New Recipe I tried last week:
Nothinhg new.
In the craft basket:
Christmas cards
Looking forward to:
Visiting my Dad next Tuesday. The last time I saw him was more than a year ago.
Homemaking Tip for this week:
No tips.
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
A post in Portuguese (sorry!!!): Questionamentozinho sincero sobre a justiça de Deus
Favorite photo from last week:
No photos last week.
Lesson learned the past few days:
That elderly people, when they can no longer care for themselves, they can become frustrated and depressed. And that can give way to anger and many times the person who are closest to them become the target of that anger. But I am learning that we cannot take it personally and that we need to ask God for wisdom and patience.
On my Prayer List:
Always a long list but today, my friend Miriam who is travelling to Brazil, after 5 years in Portugal without seeing her family.
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Each time He said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Apelo
Pais e mães, por favor parem de dizer às vossas criancinhas que os manos e manas que nasceram ou estão para nascer são resultado das vossas preces fervorosas. Faço este apelo porque a minha filha está com uma crise existencial «braba» (como diria o nosso querido Rubinho!). Diz que Deus deve ter uma lista de crianças a cujas orações atende e que ela foi excluída da lista, que Deus não gosta dela, etc., etc. E eu já não sei mais o que responder!!!
