Gratituesday

Join us here

So Ladies and Gentlemen
I have been sewing today...yep
Just need to put a zipper and the binding for the arm holes
Feeling creative and still is a marvelous thing.

My husband has been pursuing my heart attentively the last couple of days and it is like being in a waterfall looking through the prisms and the light shines in the calm of the cave behind the falls. That safe cave where it is cooled by the silence in the midst of the roar.

Stones cool as those who have set foot to that path with me have helped lead the way. Bound no more to the doldrums that held me captive the other day.

Bravery exalts the weak and courage does not falter.
Having confidence in the tasks before me.
Today my heart does not waver and quake.
For this yes the fall on my face sorta
"thank you Lord for lovin' me"

I want to keep walking that path.
Just had to crawl through a few of those crevices

'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"
