Doing some thinking...

 This morning while sitting in Church, I was doing some thinking.  I know my last two posts may have seemed like I was complaining about everything that has happened lately and I know that everyone has their ups and downs, but I do have so much to be thankful for.  There are just too many things to make a list but I am thankful for so much.  Times can get hard from time to time but I know the Lord will not put any more on us than we can stand.  I know at times it may seem like we are at our limits but he knows what he is doing and everything happens for a reason.  We may not understand or know why things happen but he sure does.

I did a little sewing last night but not really enough to show.  I also worked on cleaning up the sewing room some.  The bad thing is, you can't even tell that I touched it.  This should be a busy week for me.  My thread order should be here tomorrow and after I get that, I need to get some of these done.  I have one loaded on the frame now, ready and waiting for the thread!  I'll post a few photos as I quilt them.

Hunter has a dentist appointment first thing in the morning.  Nothing major just a follow up.  Speaking of Hunter, look at this photo that I snapped the other night.  He asked if he could stay up late and then sleep in the living room.  I let him but look at him the next morning....He and Jazz look as if they had a late night snack!  LOL!  Jazz is guarding his pizza crust!  BOYS!!!  You gotta love them!  And yes, Hunter sleeps with his eyes half open.
A week or so ago, I won a giveaway on Janet's blog (Rogue Quilter), and I received it in the mail!  The photo does not do it justice.  The little pin cushion and ornament are pieced perfectly!  Even hubby commented on how well they were made!  A beautiful set of note cards that will be so hard to send and not keep for myself. :)  And last but not least and really nice stiletto.  I did not have one of those so I'm sure it will come in handy.  If you don't know Janet, you must go check out her blog!  She is a wonderfully nice person and a great quilter.  She has been so sweet to me since I have known her and I feel very Blessed to have found her blog.
I know this is a short post but we have Vacation Bible School going on all week, Richard and I didn't go tonight, just had too much to do.  I know that is not really an excuse but that is what happened.  He is working on the Gravely tractor trying to get it fixed and I was helping him.  Andrew is working but I did take Hunter up to Church for VBS and my brother is bringing him back home on his way.

Have a wonderful and Blessed evening.

Your musings about the Lord not giving us more than we can handle are spot-on. Though we face trails and hardships, they are nothing we can't handle with Him on our side. We just have a tendency to forget that, don't we?
You are too kind, Kristie. And it is a privilege knowing you!

That is the best outlook to have! I have to keep reminding myself that while work is a challenge to get through, i'm very lucky to have job. Sometimes, that is what gets me through the days! Lol
