I haven’t been on here in a while

 I miss this space where I can come and share my love for creating things, cooking and of course, my family. God has blessed. One big thing that happened is that our son finally retired from the military!  We’re so thankful for his safety for 26 years 

The dogs are good! Buster, the pitie mix loves to go and see my mom.  They’re such a pair and she spoils him rotten.  The girls, Trudy and Olive are 3 yrs old now and also spoiled  :) They behave when they must but the backyard is their domain.  

I’ve been sewing some too.  The bear rag quilt was a monster when all was done  He was 4 feet tall!  Also, I repurposed a denim jacket that was my husband’s when we met 40 yrs ago! I added a quilt block and boom it’s a girly jacket  

Our precious granddaughter is in college! Our grandson is working as an RN in an ICU!  We’ve had lots of changes that goes along with time passing.  In all this I look back and see God’s faithfulness and blessings  I am finding that the longer I live the more I understand that He doesn’t want me to worry about things, it does no good.  Just do today and let tomorrow worry about itself.  Blessings, as always, from the holler….

The Girls are growing so fast...

Trudy

Olive

They really do everything together 

Blessings from the holler...

Did I say puppies?!........

These first pictures are from early October when we got them.  The first picture is Olive and the second is Trudy.  Our neighbor came over and took these wonderful pictures. 

 

I’m excited for Christmas! Going to be a simple thing here, how about where you are?

This blessed me so much that I had to share..

"The unsearchable riches of Christ."
Ephesians 3:8

My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. When you put the crown on his head, you will only crown him with silver when he deserves gold. My Master has riches of happiness to bestow upon you now. He can make you to lie down in green pastures, and lead you beside still waters. There is no music like the music of his pipe, when he is the Shepherd and you are the sheep, and you lie down at his feet. There is no love like his, neither earth nor heaven can match it. To know Christ and to be found in him—oh! this is life, this is joy, this is marrow and fatness, wine on the lees well refined. My Master does not treat his servants churlishly; he gives to them as a king giveth to a king; he gives them two heavens—a heaven below in serving him here, and a heaven above in delighting in him forever. His unsearchable riches will be best known in eternity. He will give you on the way to heaven all you need; your place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks, your bread shall be given you, and your waters shall be sure; but it is there, there, where you shall hear the song of them that triumph, the shout of them that feast, and shall have a face-to-face view of the glorious and beloved One. The unsearchable riches of Christ! This is the tune for the minstrels of earth, and the song for the harpers of heaven. Lord, teach us more and more of Jesus, and we will tell out the good news to others.
