Saturday's Song

Here's the lyrics.  

LORD,
Tonight, my heart continues to be heavy for my own family and other families that are hurting. I pray that hurting families drop their shame, their pain, their hurt and come together to support each other in all manner of trials. 

I pray You bring Isaiah 61:1- 3 to pass for myself, my  loved ones and especially for @veecrow and her family.  

1The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,

because the Lord has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,^a

2to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

3and provide for those who grieve in Zion—

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of joy

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,

a planting of the Lord

for the display of his splendor.

Amen, my sweet Savior, Amen.

Christmas Tree Skirt

I started this sweet Christmas Tree Skirt and it was done before I knew it!

The pattern was from Debbie at Msdebbie2u.  It was so easy to follow and memorize!  Thank you, Ms. Debbie, for making my tree look so pretty!  

I used one my most precious, hoarded yarns from many years ago!  It was Red Heart's Holiday in Aran/Gold and Wine/Gold.  I finally found the perfect project for this sparkly yarn.  

Of course, I must also highlight the Christmas Star my granddaughter made me during her art class with Vicky!

This precious ornament is traditionally the first one on our tree.  As a retired military family, we spent more years than I care to count away from each other/our families.  As we place this ornament on our tree, we remember and pray for our military families.
