Yesterdays Blessing....

What a joyful day the Lord gave our family yesterday,we got a visit from a very dear couple, that holds an amazing place in our families heart! We haven't seen them for many many years!
It brought joy and laughter to our home!
Lord, I want to say thank you for bringing them to us, bless the Love they show towards us!
Amen!

P and M, Thank You for never giving up!


On a sad note, I didn't take 1 picture, what was wrong with me?

Quilting,Fabric, Fun.......

Just a couple of new quilts I have done.

These quilts I made for my niece Brina.... the 2 smaller ones are for her American Girl Dolls

It was such a joy to see the look on her face! She got a lesson from Aunt Angie about taking care of quilts and that you hold them close to your heart forever!

The next one is a Log Cabin, while making it I just knew that it had my moms name all over it!!

Much Love to both my Mom and Sabrina, it was such a joy to make them for you!!

Hang On!

I can honestly say Im hanging on for dear life right now! I spend a lot of my time praying and reading Gods Word!
Today was a good day we  took a step forward! Praise the Lord!
I got a new quilt cut out,YEA!
Im gonna start naming them, I know, laugh, but its how I deal!
pics coming soon!
Have a great week and remember God love you!

New beginnings

New Years also bring new plans for people. I really like to read the different things everyone want to do!

As I sit here on my sofa at 1047 pm on New Years Eve night waiting for the ball to drop and just playing on my Mac, I read that some people want more time with family, some want to get healthy, some want more patience, and some want not to worry what others think of them, BUT one really spoke to me more than anything else, let me share part of it with you

One way that I am going to do that is to read through Gospels this year. I am looking for the way that Jesus treated people, because I think I can do better at that. I am looking for the way that Jesus lifted people up, paid attention to people no one else would, even reached out and welcomed people into his life, because I think I can be better at that.

I am going to look more for how Jesus related to His Father, because I think I can do better at that too.... I want to find the little things Jesus did and see how those framed his ministry, because I think that it is the little things that make the difference.

So why don't you join me on this journey in 2011? Read the Gospels. There are 89 chapters... so that means if you and I read 1 chapter a day, we will go through the books 4 times next year.

Why should we do this? Well, Jesus said, "Follow Me." If we are going to "follow Jesus" we ought to know more about what He did , where He did it, and who He did it with. We find that in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Call it a resolution if you want... I call it a plan. And if I miss a day, its not the end of the world. I will just pick up where I left off... As one writer said, " The goal is not for getting me through the Word of God, it is for getting the Word of God through me." Its a journey... one that God directs. I figure He will reveal what I need to see, when I need to see it.

So many people want to treat others right, But do they follow Jesus when doing it? Maybe we should all take this challange, I will be! Take it with me, Let me know if you are joining my journey!

See you in Matthew tomorrow!

weekend project!

Almost done just have to back, bind,quilt!

Its been awhile!

Update on our family!

ME- Im doing good! I have been busy with many things, my lastest is my dear frind Demple! Shes awesome, I visit her 2 days a week sometimes 3, she is a 93 yr old, and a joy to watch her smile when I come thru the door. There are days that she may sit in her chair and sleep other days we may look at her photo albums, or we may take a walk to the curb. Dont know what each time will bring, but she has been a total blessing to my life~

Duane- Doing well, of course always good and bad days, Ive kept him pretty bus this summer and fall with 3 different trips! The first he went to Utah to a camp with guys like him, he enjoyed himself and also had to face some challenges, but I believe in his own mind he was able to do that! The 2ND, he went on a Dove Hunt that was with the wounded warrior! He had fun! But I will tell you I DON'T like Dove, to me it taste like liver! Last trip he traveled to Florida to go Gator hunting! He had a blast! He got 2 and we have the hide at the taxidermy, and the gator we had on my birthday, it was good!

The boys!- Keeps us busy with sports and Skylar and his social life! That kid can blow up some texting in month month! I'm so thankful for unlimited!

The good Lord is always blessing our family in many different ways in our new life, its been a quite one and thats what we wanted!

I think Him each day for it!

My granddaddy!

My new hobby has become quilting!

Its very good for me, Im able to put my mind into something else other than drs visit, is it a good day or a bad day!

So my very first quilt was for my very dear granddaddy, last month he went into the nursing home. So in preparing for that I started on a quilt for him.
