Hebrews 12:1-3, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. My son-in-law surprised us Saturday morning with a big, delicious breakfast—eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, green chile with meat, fresh fruit salad, and coffee. Yum! We spent the morning listening to the grandbabies share about their lives, and my eldest grandson even gave a presentation on the three-castle kingdom he created in Minecraft. It was wonderful.  

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,
"Make memories; it's later than you think."

HERE'S A WORD

Faith...broken faith...faltering faith.  Here, I will ...

Isaiah 40:11, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

  

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by!  I've decided to conclude our study of verses for those with faltering faith this week and begin our study of Darien Cooper's devotional written for Hind's Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard's next week.  The intorduction and especially the preface alone were so encouraging!
As we've been traveling, many of my fiber and reading goals have been set aside.  Mama is doing as well as can be expected.  We are all supporting each other through this difficult time.  Thank God, we are a unified family filled with ...

Psalm 34:19, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



  

Hello There,
Welcome!  I'm so glad you're here today!    As I shared last week, my precious Daddy has passed away.  He is greatly missed - it feels so unreal.  I continue to draw comfort from Psalm 23.  
Thankfully, I can distract my mind as my subconscious continues to process this tremendous loss with machine sewingwhich requires all my concentration.    
Your comments and emails have been of great comfort.  Though I'm behind in responding, I've read each of your emails and comments.  Thank you so much.  My family and friends have been sharing their memories of my ...

Revelation 7:17; John 11:35, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 

Hello There,
As you know, my daddy has been ill for some time. Sadly, my precious Daddy passed away earlier this month. People have called to share their memories of him. Now the stories he used to tell me about  his life they bring me comfort and joy.   As soon as my husband is feeling better, we will be going to San Diego.

Thank you all for your prayers for him and our family during his illness.  
Take care and hug the ones you love more than ever before.  
Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,

Psalm 23:5b, Literary Life, Fiber Fun, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



 

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week.  This week was the last day of time with my grandkids until their next long break.  I’ve enjoyed having them this summer and am eager for our next “Ama Day”.  They call me “Ama” and the days we spend together are “Ama Days”.  

Daddy is declining quickly.  His body is tired.  God willing, we are planning a trip to San Diego after my husband is feeling better and can safely travel.  Meanwhile, I am working on fiber arts projects behind-the-scenes, diving into God's ...

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping in today. I'm so glad you're here. This week has been tough, but God has given me strength to study His Word, sew (which has been so helpful), read a bit and even find a bit of joy. I hope your week was nice and that you have a great week!

Psalm 23:5, Literary Life, Fiber Fun, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by! It’s been a great week with grandkids, friends, fiber arts, and reading. My husband’s still under the weather, so I’ve been taking on errands and tasks he usually does. I’m grateful for his help since his retirement.

We’ve had a lot of rain, and for the first time, our Organ Mountains look vibrant and green!

Take good care, and, as Daddy says,

"Make memories; it's later than you think."

July 27: intro, Psalm 23:4 Part Two, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

  

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in!  Well, I broke one of my main blogging rules: I always save my posts on a backup post just in case.  Guess what happened?  Yup.  I didn't, and it's gone!  Well, the second time around might be better!  

Life continues to be active with grandkids, swimming, learning to shop for the Mediterranean Diet, and a bit of time with friends.  We made happy memories and tried new foods at our potluck.  

You'll find the second part of last week's devotional on Psalm 23:4, I achieved most of my ...

July 20: Psalm 23:4, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



Hello there!
Thank you for visiting today!  I missed posting last week as we were in San Diego visiting Mama and Daddy.  Daddy is now in hospice, but I'm aware that many people live for years at this stage, so I'm still praying for a miracle. Thankfully, except for the expected decline, they are stable.   I'll take stable any day of the week!  

In this week's post, I'm returning to lessons learned from the classic, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller, who was a shepherd himself, thus enriching this study.  Chapter ...

June 29: Psalm 22; Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,
This summer is a roller coaster:  fun with grandsons, quick after summer school visits from my teen-age grandkids, ever more frequent trips to San Diego, fiber hobbies, reading - life is full.  My older grandkids are attending summer school to advance their graduation date.  They come in hungry, happy, full of news and hugs.  I love the chaos!  

We are now on our last treatment option for Dad.  But he is responding well and full of life, though much weaker.  A dear friend of mine takes in our fur babies whenever we go to San Diego.  She wrote, "Anything ...

June 22: Psalm 22, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy, from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There, 

Thank you for visiting! We were in San Diego for Father’s Day. Life changes quickly! Daddy had a setback but is recovering. We’re home, recovering, and rebuilding routines. I hope to return to spend time with my “San Diego” family for a “normal” visit. 

  Daddy’s status is uncertain. We live day to day with suitcases packed, ready to go at any moment.  

Though we were only gone a week, my grandkids seem to have grown so much!  I do believe they go through growth spurts when we’re gone!  LOL!  I appreciate the time we ...

June 8: Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 9:18, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in!  This week was wonderfully filled visits from my grandkids, a merging of redo of mine and Daddy's non-fiction libraries with brand new wall-to-wall bookshelves!  And, yes, these book are organized using the Dewey Decimal system.  Last summer my granddaughter labeled all of Daddy's 400+ books and I did my own some time ago.  Both Daddy and I had different books, but now the "holes" of information are mostly filled in.  I'm happy when I see them as it has become a beautiful collaboration between father and daughter.  

My husband and ...

June 1: Psalm 8, Fiber Fun, Literary Life and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

I hope you all had a fabulous week and are looking forward to the coming week.  Our Memorial Day was a quiet affair.  Many of the veterans we know, both family and friends, have passed away.  As we remember those who fought and died for our freedom, I can’t help but reflect on what members of my Cancer Support Group said to me after I shared I had survivor's guilt. 

Those with little to no hope of surviving their disease enthusiastically, with a unified voice said, "NO!  Enjoy your life guilt-free!  If you must, think of ...

May 25: Proverbs 3:5-8, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer


  
Hello There,
Thank you for dropping in!  This week was very much a "stay at home" period, thus I was able to get more accomplished.  I enjoyed sewing, reading and resting.  This post is filled with encouraging words (I hope), updates on various projects as well as the many books added to my collection - albeit the library books are visitors.  I hope you enjoy your time spent here!  

HERE'S A WORD - Faith...broken faith...faltering faith.  Here I will share a Scripture about these topics.  No judgement, only love.  For several weeks, I’ve been dealing with unusually intense ...

May 18: Psalm 17:8-9, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

  


Hello There,

This week started off with a road trip:  a one-day round trip to Albuquerque in which I finished an embroidery project.  Then it got even better with a full day with my grandson, a day trip to two El Paso Museums, a sit and sew with friends, and a weekend full of basketball championship games and a sewing class!  It's been fun!

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Mother’s Day! My husband and I celebrated Mexican Mother’s Day yesterday and had a lazy morning on the patio.  This afternoon my grandbabies and daughter came to visit.  We transplanted Aloe Vera cactus into various pots for friends and family. 


This week was busy with errands, visits, and my granddaughter’s basketball championship games. Next week will be even more active with a day trip to Albuquerque, two days with my oldest grandson, a day trip to El Paso museums, a sit and sew, and more basketball championship games and ...

Hello There,
Thank you so much for stopping in!  As I write this we are in the middle of a thunderstorm!  It's been so long since we've had rain!  I'm loving it!  This week was filled with at least 2 obligations a day - most of them fun!  
I had a fun sit and sew with a friend, a day in El Paso to see the doctor and spend time with my husband, and today was another sit and sew!
I hope you enjoy this weekly post and continue to visit!

Hello There, 

Thank you for stopping in!  I was able to stay home for much of the week, which I love.  Yesterday was an my youngest grandson played in an exciting basketball game and then, we had an amazing trip to one of "my libraries", about 25 minutes away.  I'm so excited to show you a "squirrel" that has pleasantly invaded my mind.

So, please, enjoy your favorite beverage as you read on!

Hello There,

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!  The LORD is risen!  

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit!  Let me tell you, the last two weeks have been so active!  We prepared for and enjoyed a trip to San Diego to see my parents.  Halfway through the trip, our son joined us.  Mama is doing well and enjoyed joking around with him.  Daddy is in a good place right now, thank God.  

The blog has been sorely neglected.  This week I'll be catching up on comments and link ups.  I keep trying to write posts ...

April 6: Psalms 139:23, Fiber Fun, Literary Live and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

  

Hello There,
I hope you all are doing well!   Thank you for stopping by!  This week has been hectic, yet in the end, it all has worked out.
My Daddy ended up in the hospital, but was released yesterday.  Just in case we had to go to San Diego, we packed two weeks of activities into five days.  
This included two birthday celebrations, errands, doctor appointments and such.  Happily, he was well enough to release to him home vs. a rehab center. I'm so eager to visit him and Mama!
Hence, not too much stitching was accomplished, but joy ...
