Philippians
Overview Thus Far, Friends, Blogging
I love the progression of
Paul’s letter thus far!
Second, he lovingly greets
the recipients. (v.1)
He blesses them.
Finally he shares the
great hope he has for them. (v. 3-8)
This is a great way to
begin a letter!
Then he begins to
encourage the Philippians – though he is
the one in chains. (v. 12-14)
This powerful message has
truly blessed me this morning. To see an
example of such love and strength does my heart good.
Paul definitely had some extremely difficult moments in his life.
And so have I.
And so have you.
And we experience our sadness, grief and depression for a season.
And then, when the time is right,
we pick
ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and go on
to be the best we can be,
to encourage others,
to love others,
to see the good in life.
And, yes, life is good!

Today’s sharing comes from
the realization that I have some growing to do.
But then, isn't that what life is -
a continual growing process?
Blogging
I love how God works
through
doctors,
friends – both online and
in person,
family and others
to show me a new growth opportunity almost weekly.
Oh, yes, my dear friends, life is indeed
good! My cup overflows with love and
gratitude for you all! Your comments of
encouragement, your views and your emails are so wonderful!
You’re changing me. You’re making me a “commenting follower” of
blogs. Even if I just have a few quick thoughts
to share, I’m beginning to comment on many of the blogs I follow.
Because that’s encouraging.
And don’t we all need encouragement?
My dear friends, visitors, family and
friends, I’m grateful for you and I pray peace, love, joy and a seam ripper
free day for you today!
A New Experience in Slow Stitching
I finally took the plunge into hand quilting the first row of my Quilty 365 quilt! What in the world was I afraid of? It's fun!
A good friend, Victoria, is helping me along. I layered the top and batting and took off stitching. Then she made a great point: Add the backing fabric so that my stitches will show on the back as well. That would be perfect as I want to journal the reasons I chose that particular fabric on the back. The quilted circle would be the perfect place to do so!
But, then we have the sticky problem of the first row of quilting is already done.....
We discussed some solutions, but I'm not worried, something will come up and it will be fine! This is so much fun!
Dear Friends, this is my truth!
Lovely start to your hand quilted circle blocks, the little Spooky embroidery is starting out nice.
