This blog stitches together the things that make me happy – my love for God, music, quilting, hobbies, memories, and words. And friends. And coffee. And chocolate. And good clean fun. I love learning new things and making new friends. There is always joy to be had in this life!
This blog is also my journey through bad times. I learned a lot of things I never knew I would need to know. My only goal is to share what I have learned with others who are going through bad times. To let God speak His truth through me and encourage others that they can not only survive, but thrive and grow. Also important to me, I need for this journey to have been worth something. If just one person can find some comfort, it was worth learning the lesson.
I pray that you find something here of value to take with you when you leave. Ya’ll come back now!
Giving
It is the heart that gives; the fingers just let go. -Proverb
Stand Strong
Discouraged not by difficulties without, or the anguish of ages within, the heart listens to a secret voice that whispers: "Be not dismayed; in the future lies the Promised Land."
- Helen Keller
Love
All we can do is love people with a whole heart while we have a chance. -from the Hallmark movie "The Valley of Light"
"...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10
Life can get pretty tough, but every day brings me new blessings from God. This Christmas season I celebrate the precious gift of abundant life in my present and in my future.
