I’ve kept a diary for years, and I must\nsay that it has been the means of solving many an argument! Dates and events\nare often otherwise forgotten. I’ve got several different styles of diaries,\nand one I often refer to is my diary of events. These are just the headlines of\ndifferent things that happen in the month and the family often refer to it as\nwell. Then there is my normal diary which has more detail of day to day\nhappenings, conversations and weather etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another one that is useful is the garden\ndiary\u2026.this one is laid out four pages to a month labelled Week One, Week Two\netc, and divided into sections down the page\u2026each one corresponding to a year.\nThis means that you can see at a glance how various plants have been doing from\nyear to year at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there is the Diary of Items Bought.\nHow often do we remember exactly how long we’ve had that appliance that has\nsuddenly given trouble, and wondered if it is out of its guarantee or not! Or\nhow many years we’ve had a certain machine and what we paid for it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally there is a Spiritual Journal. Here\nis where you write precious thoughts that have come to you during the day and\ntimes of reflection. Things you have thought of as you have read devotional\nwritings, and perhaps things that puzzle you, the whys of life and eternity.\nDon’t let these thoughts slip away, but write them down. As you read them\nlater, jot down further thoughts you have had on similar topics. As you do a\ndaily reading of the Bible, write down the thoughts and questions that come to\nyou and ponder them further. Never be too busy to make time for this, even if\nit is only fifteen minutes a day\u2026.what is that out of twenty-four hours? Surely\nwe can make that much time to deal with this, the most important side of our\nbeing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
