Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Goals for the next two months

1. make clothing for the kids
I have several patterns for dresses cut out for Dove and Dash needs pants.
2. Have a nice Thanksgiving dinner
Plan nice meals and ready for them. I would like to invite friends and family. I feel little energy for it today. I am hoping to get excited bout it.
3. Catch up on the laundry
I have to tend to clothing. Dash needs his belongings sorted and out grown things discarded. Lots of wash to be done and children's rooms are a mess!
4. Decide if I am doing a craft show this year.
I love to create but I am not very enthusiastic about sales. I have what I am told is a gold mine. I like to give my work. It felt good to sell. It is just too awkward to do so. I wish I could overcome that. I do not sell myself as well as some.
5. If so get ready for it.
I love to create but I have so many things still from last year that I want to redo.
6. In November see my Sister off to England for what might be the last time I ever see Her.
I am sorta sad about this.
7. Attend the Sewing guild Meetings of November and December.
I have missed 6 meetings so far. Sewing has taken a very back seat this year.
8. Fix my jeweling desk and start creating
My racks were knocked over last week! I have spilled chains and works in process It is overwhelming to me.
9. Hit some nail shops up to see if they might like to sell my work.
This is an idea given to me. I would have to work out a display. Other details would have to be considered.
10. Decorate for the seasons ahead.
I want to bring joy to our home this time of year is very difficult for me. I feel down over the loss of joy. I have to work through the pain and loss wondering if it will ever end. I will celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas too. I just cant to this holiday.
11. Bring joy into the lives of my family and friends.
I want to entertain a little maybe do a party for friends.
12. loose weight
I have much hope to continue to reduce my mass. Gain my mobility and fly.
13. Let go of things that I can not change.
I care about people and several of them are on my heart right now.

That's a lot of great goals. Good luck with your crafts. I know what you mean about selling. I'm not very comfortable with it even though I sell cookware part-time.

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)

By Maya Angelou

'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."
