Aprons! I love Aprons.


Over at "are we there yet mom" she asked to see our aprons
These are the children's aprons

This was my mothers apron wrought at her own hand, The link is to a poem I wrote. This apron was a gift to me from my sister. Wow how bizzar, I just made chicken soup tonight with her apron on.

This is a work apron I made myself for canning,
it is double thickness for absorbency and I padded the neck. It has a hoop for a towel too, and a upper pocket of the phone. I am hearing impaired so I use my phone on speaker so both ears receive the sound it really helps me to be able to enjoy phone conversations hand free.

This is my Christmas dinner apron it was a gift from my sister
She did the embroidery on her machine.

This is an old family apron

There were once three spinster sisters, They were relatives of my husbands family. I helped them dissolve the estate when the last one passed on.

This came from them too

This is my WONDER MOM apron. It was a costume for a fair I assisted at for Dove when she was 6 years old. It is a worn work apron. If you can look close by clicking on it . It has all my different roles on it. It once said "Wonder Mom" in the middle.

This was a gift from the kids. They are working aprons for every day use. I have a few others in the wash right now.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
