Gifts of the day

I watched the sun rise this new dawn over the new life ahead of me.
Born in her 47th year
waxed a bit of John Denver...
Coming Home to a place she'd never been before.
Left yesterday behind her...
I watched the stars fade as I rocked my sweet Dove in the cool night air.
Thanking good for this child of my heart.
She was longed for for so many years.
It was a sweet way to start my birthday.
My sweet daughter and I got to be together today.
I took a nap early morning and was a woke by the door bell. A Package from my sister came , garden stakes sun catchers.

We watched movies and played Barbies. It was a peaceful day.
Mr U called about lunch and I opted to have him bring Chinese home for supper (instead of our date for lunch) so Dash Hawk would be included in our celebration. Beloved was very thoughtful to gift me with the option not to cook. I went to Wal-Mart and got three pair of paints and the findings I am beading with. It was a splurge that brought him joy too. He loves to see me get things that I want.We all ate and watched 3 Walton's episodes of the last season.
I got e-mails from so many of you.
Thank you :)

My sister Midge 18 yrs my senior called as did my sister 2 yrs older.
A very sweet e-card from the in-laws(loves) and Denise and Trisha and Michelle too...
Thank you all it was a warm embrace to treasure each one
Many comments and well wishes too.
You are all "the" gift.

Have a load of lemons to juice from a neighbor I just met.
I'll post a lemon aide how too...

The fruit is large and heavy great for juicing.


I made these sets yesterday for myself.

This one is bone.

This is rose quartz and jade. I have earrings set up to finish that match it.

I won a drawing and got a much needed apron from "Carolyn's Kitchen Retro Aprons".
All my other ones were packed up.
Dove took my picture insisting that I pose.
Story time is going on right now.
I think I'll close for now.
Thank you all for a loving Embrace of kindness and friendship.

Happy Birthday! What a wonderful day. I love the garden stakes -- all those bright colors. Nice jewelry, too. I have a friend that makes some as well.

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."
