How To Make A Crocheted Snowflake Ornament...

 How to  make a Crochet Snowflake!

Here are a few of the snowflakes I have made!

I find it very relaxing and it is a small project that can be completed in a sitting!

I used a very lovely white with a bit of silvery thread in it!

It sparkles and looks very festive.

I made one for each of my grandchildren...

I downloaded this video link

 And I can pull it up if I have forgotten how to make them.

I made a few different ones and I liked this pattern best!

It has the nice points on it and I also did a chain link to be able to hang it!

You can make these on long winter evenings and have them ready for next year!

Tell me if you give this pattern a whirl!

The Famine Of Hearing God's Word...

Everyone is looking for truth and meaning to their lives!

Well, I will tell you this that you will not find the true answers
in this old world!
Yet God will use this creation and all our situations to bring us to the truth.
I believe He is always tenderly calling...
I told my Hubby this morning I am pretty sure we don't live forever
 in these old bodies.

I found this and I thought I would share it with some of you!

John the Baptist was such a powerful light that God chose to use!

We must learn to feed ourselves as the church is suffering

Reassuring Those We Love...

 

Greetings...

Sometimes, as the women, we need to reassure our husbands!

And as a woman you will have times you will need to reassure many;

You know when you go through a stretch of trials or tribulation,

We can become fearful or unsure!

And it is very good to quickly respond to our loved ones;

To say yes, we are going to be okay...

Even during a difficult time, we can get pressed!

Even when we do not think we are stressed our bodies can and will

Still respond in a fight or flight mode!

Fear when dwelt upon over a crisis has its own problems!

When worry creeps up over a bad report or situation;

I remind myself of this

Worry is sin...

No, it does not just stop it!

But it puts me in the overcoming defense!

In this life we need to have a plan of defense.

Learning to respond correctly quickly is a powerful antidote for many things!

Even when things happen slowly, there is still a response.

We are to be good stewards of our bodies

Our finances

Our relationships

Being a good steward requires action, 

Prayer

Exercise

Keeping Busy

Can be so powerful in times of unrest, or sickness.

I think of times past, someone is always in a crisis or coming out of one.

Taking and making the time to reassure ourselves and others,

Every time a crisis comes we learn to readjust and overcome

So if any of you or your loved ones have been struggling

With sickness or a bad report my heart goes out to you!

I have many friends going through trials!

I also have had high blood pressure out of no where...

I started exercising and changed my diet to less salt

And taking a few supplements;

But still landed in the ER

The doctor told me I was not dying...

That was a relief... I needed to be reassured!

I still feel really weird, I go to the doctors again tomorrow!

I DO NOT want to have to take medicine for it!

(What are your thoughts?)

P.S. Now that I think about it all, I started feeling terrible after I had a
Flu and pneumonia shot in the same day...
My arm got all red and swollen for a week!
Did my body have a reaction from them?
I think so...

Christmas Spirit Of A Child...

 

Christmas Spirit Of A Child...

The wonder and excitement and glee!

Simple is always the better choice!

We do not have to spend a ton of money!

We do not need a ton of Christmas decorations!

Just watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate,

Can bring comfort and warmth...

Exchanging Christmas ornaments is easy and affordable!

You can always give gift cards!

(coffee or burgers)

I am looking for fa la la la la...

I want to awake to the joy and excitement of what

Christmas is really about.

I heard that Christmas is about kindness;

And I thought, wait a minute, I think something has gone astray!

Christmas is about the birth of Jesus our Lord and Saviour...

So my JOY comes from this;

I will still hang a red bulb on the tree

I will still bake cookies for those I love

I will sing

JOY to the world the Lord has come...

Merry Christmas

Help Your Husband...

 

When you become self absorbed in things and self;

And forget to be the helpmate that is needed.

I have seen lately, many relationships that seem strained.

I can't help, but to look at some of these people that we know and love.

But I always really must go back to the basic of a healthy relationship!

Men were created to rule and protect!

But when the one they desire to love and protect, seem aloof or contentious.

This brings a weight that just kills their purpose.

Sometimes it is not the huge battles that break them.

Rather, it can be the accusing tone in your voice.

When they are tired we continue to push them with our words.

Sometimes it is just not meeting the simple needs of good meals,

And rest and a hug...

Men feel the weight, dear ones!

Helping is really very easy and when done with a word of encouragement!

If we really believe God is in control;

Why do we always try to rule and control things?

Spend quality time with your Husband!

Make the choice to truly help them...

(The benefits are huge)

Peace in your heart and home...

The best way to show love to your children of any age;

Is to love their Father!

Our Husbands are the treasure and gift to keep our homes

Safe And Together!

Do you always want to be right

Or

Keep the peace...

As in the picture above, even a sheet of ice can break a stalk;

But the frost can stifle growth and movement!

Be his greatest cheerleader and supporter!

Remember that his job can be so demanding as ours can be also.

But giving love and support is what gives us purpose.

Let This Be A season Of Giving...
