“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. “.

"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

Who is like our LORD?

My morning-coffee view.
He is just so wonderful to me !

I went back to the 4th grade class this evening,
 and was on my knees helping a
table full of boys put foam picture frames together. 

When I knelt there,
Andrew
(from "what are YOU doing in here, anyway?" fame)
recognized me and kind of sneered. 

 I said,
 "yep, I'm back Andrew and I love you."

  It was kindof loud around us and he said,
"what?" 

I said,
" I love you"
.......he said,
"what did you say?"
a little louder.

I quietly mouthed
"I------love-----you !"

He heard me that time,
 and I thought
"uh-oh, here comes the smart remark !"

Instead, he just gives me this little twitch of a smile
around the corner of his mouth,
 and goes back to working on his frame.

The rest of the evening was a piece of cake !  

Ah, this has been a wonderful week,
and I got my fix of 'missing grandkids' ! 

Now, back to quilting !
I've gotten to spend a few hours 
working on the baby quilt this week
 ....... here's what I've gotten done so far.

  2. Our God is good to us. VBS is a great way to get kids in to hear God's word, and it is neat that you could find the time to give.
    We just watched today the movie "A River Runs Through It", and the yelling/whispering trick was used in that movie, too. (I bet you knew that, huh?)
    *smiles* pokey
