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
Hunter looks adorable! my grand niece sleeps with her eyes 1/2 open too and she has a mini weiner dog that sleeps with her. cute cute cute! (mauh) Liz
