“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6


“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

Give thanks

Yes, Natalia, as you remind us to be thankful,
 my mind goes to seeing my husband raise his hand to God
 in praise in Church yesterday morning.

I am thankful for a God that is teaching me generosity,
 and supplying me with the ability to give.

I am thankful for family near and far,
 for toothless smiles from grandchild and hubby
(and sometimes, self !).

I am thankful for Church family,
and health to walk and to hear and to speak
 and to EAT !

I am thankful for creativity, and, again,
supply to satisfy those creative urges. 

I am thankful for internet friends who I sometimes
 spend more time talking to than local ones.

May GOD bring to mind all of OUR blessings,
 and REMIND us
that they are enjoyed more as we share them
this season and always.
