Blogging

I have been reading quite a few different blogs lately and I have been so blessed by the ministry that these women have in reaching out to others through this medium.  I have the opportunity to meet those of like minds and kindred spirits a little more each time I visit their blogs.  I have quite a few I follow and can't keep up with all on a daily basis but I try to visit each one each week.  It is so wonderful to know that God is using women to build one another up to meet the challenges of the places He has called them to.  May we continue to be faithful in encouraging and helping each other on the path.

I am off to my part time job, sometimes only 1 day a week but I don't mind as I can spend the other days working in and around my home.  
Praying you all have a blessed day!

Just wanted to let you all know about a wonderful giveaway going on over at
Faithfulness Farm .   I just started reading her blog and I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I am.
So pop on over and see what it is all about!
God bless.

Wedding anniversary

J and I just celebrated our anniversary the 8th of May.  He was thinking about what we could do to commemorate the occasion and thought it would be nice to get a quilt done in the wedding ring pattern.
So we took a day trip to Lancaster to an Amish place we have frequented in the past.  The fellow had made us a Hoosier cabinet some years back.   We looked at the quilts in this pattern that she had available but we didn't really care for the colors.  She brought out one that she had been working on but wasn't quite finished and J loved it!  It has the perfect colors for the room.  So.......

She finished it up and sent it to us and we received it on our anniversary day!
Hope you all have a wonderful day enjoying God's goodness and His many blessings.

Gratefulness

 God is so good!    I am learning how to be grateful and how to trust fully in God.  I am not sure whether we ever learn to trust him fully before we leave this earth.  We (I ) always like to have a hand in what is going to happen and it is hard for me to let go and give things totally over to him.  But he loves me, yes even me, and I desire to give all to him. Whether or not that happens depends on if I am willing to get out of his way and let him do the work. 
I have made some changes recently and they will only continue to be changes if I don't take them back and do it my way.  It is a daily struggle but Lord willing, I will be changed.

Blessings to each of you today.

Woefully Lacking

I can't believe how long I have  neglected my blog. 
The new year has been so busy. January was full of sadness as two friends passed away.
February has been busy with birthdays, we have 5 in our family in this month, and an upcoming wedding this weekend.  J took me out to dinner on Valentine's day.  It was wonderful to spend some special time together.

I am hoping to get some hand stitching done this week.

Hope this finds you all enjoying a wonderful week.
God bless.
