Grandchildren

When we have our children, God allows us to have a glimpse of Heaven & the wonders of it all. Sadly as our children grow & the hecticness of life interferes we tend to forget those wonders & the simplicity of life. Then... along come Grandchildren... and once again God sends us a reminder of the joys & wonders of the little things in life... Thank you Lord for children & the reminder of how much beauty there is in the world that I seem to have forgotten!

It's been how long??? Wow!!

I happened upon a blog post tonight, of course I had to log in to comment - just one word - "Wow"... It is a must read, trust me on that one! My question to you & to myself...
What memories as a mom will you leave....
Click and read one man's story - you will not regret taking the time to do that!

I once quilted....

Such a sad statement :( Breaks my heart actually! I love viewing the online world of quilting and seeing everyone's progress and projects! But, alas.... I have 5 in "full" progress & about 4 in "wanna be progress" and have had them in "progress" for over a year, and no time to work on them!

I miss the days of matching colors, laying out rows, pinning.... okay, I don't miss pinning sorry! LOL Today I am dreaming of a day when I can find some time to fit in some quilting - never hurts to dream!!

changes....

Changes are happening constantly in our lives! Some of them we barely notice, some we fight for everything we are worth! Change in some instances is good, whether we are aware of it at the time or not lol Change is something that we NEED in our lives - I am not talking about clothing, well, yes, that needs to be changed often! lol I am talking about changes in our surroundings OR in our reaction to our surrounds...Change WITHIN ourselves! Change of the way we look at things or people! Those types of changes ARE needed! Partially it is a part of growing up, maturing, getting older. Part of it is to keep up with the times - like cell phones, email, blogging, etc... Once we accept that change is needed, and accept that change should be a welcome thing, then we have to figure out how we will handle the change that comes our way. Some changes are not for the better, some are. Some would harm our future, some would benefit our future. Do not fight change unless it is harmful to yourself or others. Embrace change as long as it appears to be beneficial and does not harm others. Go into your search about a change with an open heart and an open mind and lots of prayers! :)
