“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

A short post and a link to a yummy giveaway !

Today, I decided to walk to the middle of town to pay the electric bill.  I have become way too sedentary since I started driving again, so usually I go overboard trying to make up for it all at one shot !  True this time too !   I started out well and pretty brisk, but by the time I walked up the steps to my front deck, I was taking those steps    ONE     AT     A     TIME    .
But, you know what.......I'm rested now, and so glad that I did it !   Now I can be lazy for another week or so, don't you think?

Another one of my great nieces turned 2 yesterday and I got to go and spend a couple of hours at her backyard, circus-themed birthday party.   So fun to get together with family like that !  And how beautiful Brooklyn and her sister, Maddox, are !  I wish I had taken my camera......Brooklyn's hair now hangs down her neck in ringlets, and Maddox is so beautiful.

Scrolling through my favorite blogs today, I found that "a Stitch & a Prayer" is celebrating her 200th post........this made me check my own number and I'm only on 79 or so since starting over..........and she's giving away 2 charm packs ! 

  My latest little quilt was so fun to do with the charm pack that I had, so I wanted to be sure and qualify for 3 chances at winning.   Therefore, I am fulfilling one of the qualifications right now........by giving you all the opportunity at beating me to the prize !  Click on the second link, check out the goodies, and sign up for your chance !   If you have some extra time, check out some of her earlier posts........her faith is encouraging and uplifting........and the LORD has blessed her with some craftin' capability !
I'm headin' back there right now !

    Time with family. What a blessing. Never enough of it, and sometimes too much of it! hee hee

    On walking, I'm thankful for your spirit that lets you laugh at needing to rest. I'm thankful for your heart so large that it reaches out to strangers.
