My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness

 

 

1Peter-1:3-9

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,

 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

The Sound of Abortion

 Last week my youngest sister Abby and I were at a training class on how to speak to abortion-minded mothers.

This video was played

 

 

 

 

Afterword the question was asked what we were thinking while we listened. My mind said, "No, no, stop!"

 

Sometimes it's hard to fight a battle we can't see. My sisters and I, praise God, didn't grow up facing that battle. No one that I was close to had had an abortion. As a teen our parents encouraged us to involved in our local pregnancy resource center, CareNet. But it was so hard for me to understand what the problem really was. Even when I started working for CareNet as a young adult it was hard to wrap my head around.

Then I met this group..... Save the Storks.

And this group..... Voices for the Voiceless.

 

 

There is a unseen war going on. We do not war against flesh and blood. Our enemy hates life. He hates it because of the One who's images life bares.

Remember to pray for those who are on the front lines. Look into some of these ministries and find out how you can help fight this war against abortion!

Outside Studio

I love being outside ....and I love sewing..... sometimes the two things most be joined together.

Come walk back with me.

 
                                      

 

 I'm trying out a few kinds of dies. Making my own hasn't turned out yet but I do like these powdered dies someone gave me.

 Drafting a pattern from my favorite dress.... that hasn't worked either....but we're working on it.

These are my mom's squash plants they grew so big you can take a nap under one.

 

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Where is Hope Found?

When trials happen that test our faith and we find ourselves faltering and coming to the brink of giving up, where is there hope? Is there hope? What does that word even mean, hope?

"So the poor have hope and injustice shuts her mouth." ~ Job-5:16

The Hebrew word for hope in this passage literally means cord (as an attachment). A cord that binds or a line. Then who are the poor? This word means dangling, weak, or thin.

 

Even when His children look up at the sky and cry and complain because they have forgotten where hope is found..... 

He will draw them to Himself. Through gifts, reminders of His great caricature, and even through their own sin.

 

Weeping may last for the night but joy will come in the morning.



 

I ask You, "How many times will You pick me up when I keep on letting You down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory how far will forgiveness abound?"...



 

Then You answer, "My child I love you and as long as you're seeking my face.....



you'll rest in the power of my daily sufficient grace."

Sayings

 

 

 

Melody on Monday

 

 

 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
