FINISHED APPLES, NOW FOR SOME QUILTS ; )

NOW FOR THE QUILTS!
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND SHOW THE LOVE PUT INTO THEM..
"GOD BLESS"

A couple of years back, I hand quilted five quilts
for my grandchildren.. I stuffed here and there to sort
of make them 3-D (if you will) and I sewed letter beads on
them here and there to say To: "child's name"
From: Grandma and Granddad with love!
Also on one, I put every one's name on it. (actually on butterflies).
Hope that someday the grand kids with think of them as being
"special" in some sort of way...
Three were done with angels, one with butterflies, and one with
Spider man (for my only grandson)
GOD BLESS!

WE FINISHED THE APPLES TODAY : )
THEN MOM SAID, WELL, I WILL MISS THEM,
I "NEED TO KEEP MY HANDS AND MIND BUSY"
SO THESE QUILTS ARE A BLESSING
FOR HER TO DO RIGHT NOW!
AND FOR US TO HELP WITH, WHILE SHARING
SPECIAL TIME WITH HER!
THANKS GOD, FOR THIS TIME WITH HER!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AND WE KNOW THE QUILTS ARE ALSO FOR
A VERY LOVING REASON! I HOPE THEY
WORK OUT BEAUTIFULLY, AND SHOW THE
LOVE PUT INTO THEM. GOD BLESS!
ALSO, I HOPE SHE HAS PLEASURE DOING THEM,
AND I KNOW SHE WILL!"

THE FAMILY BIBLE
I can see us sitting round the table
when from the family Bible 'Mom' would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages
rock of ages cleft for me
There's a family Bible on the table
each page is torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table will ever be my key to memory
At the end of day when work was over
and when the evening meal was done
'Mom' would read to us from the family Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one I can see us sitting'
This old world of ours is full of trouble
but this old world would also better be
If we'd find more Bibles on the tables
and mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
======================
poor Mom has had many days in a row now
where she has really been feeling BAD!
Today, she was supposed to have gone to Lewis Gale
for another test, to see if a procedure would be
possible.. But she was just to sick to go..
And, during the day decided to
NOT HAVE IT DONE AT ALL!
(she says she's been though enough)
But, still IF she is feeling much better on Monday,
she is supposed (and willing) to have the fluid
removed from her lung for the third time.
It makes her feel bad for a couple of days,
but then she can breathe a little easier..
PLEASE STILL KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS,
FOR COMFORT FROM PAIN, AND EASE
FROM HER BREATHING DIFFICULTIES..........
-----------------------------------------
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus, foremost and always.
And thank You for Your love, Your Word, Your grace, mercies,

Please be with Mom and Barbara's Mother, help both of them please.
Ease all their discomfort please and give them courage and grace.
Be with Betty Jo, Kristin and Timmy and Ashley, help them through
this extremely difficult time. Be with Buck, Breanna, Destiny, and Jeorge also
and help them with their loss. Wrap Your loving arm around all of
them and shower Your love upon them.
Draw us all closer to You Father and help us all to know that YOU are
GOD and still fully in control. We give You our love, thanks, praise,
honor and glory in Jesus Holy name, amen.
