Be Ye Kind to One Another

What a beautiful day it was today!  So pretty that we went to the park to walk for half an hour.  Well, this FAT body couldn't keep up the pace for half an hour!  But, I'm determined that by summer I will be able to!  Even though I told Tim he could continue to walk he didn't. 

Liz, the second picture is the ski mask I have done for Hannah.  I need you to measure her from the eyes down to her shoulders.  Take the measurement from the side, like the top of the ear since that is basically where the eye would begin.

I used my "Love, the Greatest of These" kit again for today's page.  I'm getting ALOT of mileage out of this kit, for sure!  :D

Wife of Thy Youth

Tim has been reading a lot of books on eating healthfully (healthily??) the last couple of weeks.  And it involves getting rid of as many of the preservatives and chemicals as possible from the foods you eat.  He has been buying fresh fruits, organic type cereal, green tea, etc.  So I asked him yesterday when we went to Walmart to pick up a few items what the deal was with all this stuff he was buying.  He basically said that since he is not eligible to receive Social Security since he opted out of it when he first started his ministry (not than anyone else will get it, either by the time he is ready) he is going to be preaching for a whole bunch more years.  And since that is the case, he needs to be getting healthier.  He said he wanted to take me with him through all of those years, but his concern is that if I keep gaining more and more weight every year that I won't be able to help him because of poor health or worse yet I won't even be around.  That wouldn't be worse for me, but you know what I mean!  Anyway, that's paraphrasing what he said and I know he understands neither of us may live that long, anyway, as that is in the LORD's hands, but I just thought that was the sweetest thing he could have said to me!  So, I had to accept his invitation!  The picture below is of the organic cereal I ate for lunch.  It was REALLY good!  My kind of cereal with whole grains and nuts!  And, let me tell you, it held me for most of the afternoon!  But, right now, I am wanting a salty snack REALLY bad!!!  I might have to go to bed early to keep from eating!  :D

I used my "Morning Has Broken" kit for this page.

Pride

I would tell you that I don't really have trouble with pride..........but I'm thinking that might be prideful!  What do you think?

No Need of the Sun

The page speaks for itself!  We had beautiful weather today!  Don't know the actual temp, but I'd say 60ish!  I'm soooooo ready for spring! 

Helmet of Salvation

Don't laugh too hard when you see this!

Jessica J. the "experiment" is in the mail!  Should be received at the "lab" Monday or Tuesday!  :D

OK, all "code" talk aside, I think I am ready to tackle the rest of the ski masks!  Elisabeth, after getting this one done, I KNOW for a fact that doing them in single crochet will keep the owner VERY warm!  I'm going to need some measurements to make sure I get the little ones the right size, however, but I'll get with you on that in a separate e-mail.

Can I "assume" that hunting season is over?  If so, I think I will use a color I have on hand for Brad and Ryan's "helmets!"  :D  Yours and Hannah's will still be the off white color, however.  I'm going to rip the one apart and start over with the single crochet stitch.

Jessica J.  I've still got your cowl scarf in mind.  I just haven't been able to find a black with red speck in it.  I might have to get creative on that one!  :D  And we all know that I CAN get VERY creative!  :D

I used my Winter Wonders kit on this page.

One more thing before I forget.........Happy Birthday to my dearly departed mother who would have been 77 earth years today!  I miss you, mom! 

From the Hand of God

Yes, God is so Good, even in the seemingly unimportant areas of our lives.  He loves us as a Father and wants to give us our desires!  Leaving even the smallest of areas in His hands will result in blessings!

I used my "Love, the Greatest of These" kit.

Our Warfare

Tim and I did something different than our usual thrift stores this week.  We went 2 hours south of us to the Special Ops Museum in Fayetteville, NC.  Very interesting!  I got lots of good pictures, but something about this figure's eyes caught my attention!  I imagined all kinds of thoughts that could possibly have been going through someone's mind in the midst of a war and watching for the enemy on every side.  I could ONLY imagine!  Thank God for brave men and women who fight for our freedom!

The second picture............I was caught off guard when I rounded the corner and saw this "guy" hiding behind the wall with the gun aimed right at me!  WHEW!  My heart skipped a few beats!

We actually did find a not-so-good Goodwill today while in Fayetteville!  Also stopped at a "thrift" store but after we got in there, it was mostly new or slightly used furniture and no-so-thrifty prices!
