April 24....It has been about a month since I last posted and I have been so busy. I passed a milestone at my birthday on the 30th which kind of blew me away; though I try to remind myself that age is only in my mind. I am a new creature in Christ and he restores me everyday. I had the pleasure of visiting with my eldest Son Michael and his family. I love spending time with my two granddaughters. They are both at great ages where they are becoming their own people and finding new interests, And what is important to me is that each one of them knows how very much they are loved by their Nana, as I also know how much they love and enjoy our visits. Our passion is crafting together and sharing stories. i only wish that we could be together more often. We spent Easter together as we usually do.. A celebration of the death and redemption of Jesus. A renewing of His love and passion for our lives with Him. Spring has come to CT and live has come back into our trees and the flowers are blooming. My own sping soul is slowly coming back to life after a long dark winter. I love the beauty of new beginning in this season.
I have worked hard over the last six months making stampin cards for the vendor event at church today. I love creating cards and I plan to continue along with my buddies Morning Glory Val and Stampin Lauri. We even made design paper with shaving cream. I believe God is going to use those gifts to minister to others in craft projects and bible versus. I recently put togther a project for 4 woman who are new to Christ. There lives have been struggles and most recently spent on the streets. God gave me the powerful scripture for them, "that He shall retore to them everything that has been stolen from them" (Joel 2).
I put the picture of the beach with the 2 lounge chairs right here ready for anyone to come and enjoy a seat on the warm sand, close your eyes and listen to the peaceful sound of the water washng back and forth over the beach. I wish us all peace and joy in the Lord for the coming weeks. God bless you all.
