and to be holy;
without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before Him endured the cross,
scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

THANK YOU, DORIS!!
There are 60 wonderful hats here that she has made and not two of them are alike!
Some are knitted, some are crocheted, some are worked on the loom and some of them she has done both, the loom and knitting or crochet!
They are so much appreciated!!
Doris and her family have entrusted the family Christmas cactus to me and just look!

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which You have set in place,
what is man that You are mindful of him,
the son of man that You care for him?

The cycle of life.
It looks like a cocoon full of praying mantis were lunch for this wasp.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare
before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Heb. 4:12

OTN: from the left, a blue cabled scarf. This is a 'first' for me! I am working it from a chart only. No written directions! I am LOVING it!!
Next, a green scarf. Another new-to-me technique/stitch pattern.
And last, another hat!
Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling,
fix your thoughts on Jesus,
the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

Do your best to present yourself to God
as one approved,
a workman who does not need to be ashamed
and who correctly handles the word of truth.

When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
He saved us,
not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of His mercy.

I received the most wonderful care/love package in the mail yesterday!
THANK YOU, JACKY!!! (((HUGS)))
She even included some of her own work. (frames included!!)
Isn't she just amazing!
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful friend who also happens to be a relative!
I am truly blessed.
...God, who saved us and called us to a holy life-
not because of anything we have done
but because of His own purpose and grace.
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

Logcabin Afghan.
This was a long term project that was started late last summer. I really enjoyed having it to just pick up and work on whenever I was in the mood. But now it was time to have it finished and move on!
I used all acrylic yarn so that it will hold up well for a child. The finished size is about 40X32. I used the applied I-cord edging. (hard to see since I worked it in black!) I love it. It took alot longer to finish off than I had expected, but well worth it!
It will probably find it's way to the local social services office next fall.
Command those who are rich in this present world
not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth,
which is so uncertain,
but to put their hope in God,
who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
