We Have Good Minds (and we know what to read)

 In 2 Peter chapter 2 verse 1-3 says,
"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies; even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them - bringing swift destruction on themselves.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping."

We have God's Word.  We must hold the TRUTH in our minds and in our hearts.  We trust in the Creator of the universe.  We must be aware of false teachers.
And we rest.  At home.  Bill and I have been running small errands together.  We've been walking in the neighborhood after dinner.  I've been staying at my sewing machine as long as I can, but it makes my back sore (just a little bit).
It's good to be in the "now" because nobody can predict the future, the duration of the changes to everyday life.  Whoa.  That sounds very serious.  

 Whatever this plant is, I like it.  I bought it because previous lookalikes have lasted a long time.  I'll move it around so it can drink in some sunbeams.

 A few chocolate eggs are nice with coffee.  A few, Pom Pom.  A few.  (sweet tooth)

 I have two dresses finished for the mad tea party in Alice in Wonderland.  Three more are cut out and ready to sew.  Inch by inch.

 It's way too early for seed planting, but seed gathering is in motion.  I can't believe I am planting cucumbers again since they were a lot of work in the past, but Jeff wants to return to pickle processing and needs my cucs.

 Here is a slimmer photo of Tim.  He's not quite as rotund as some of my photos suggest. 

Do you like the next fabric I'll be working with?

 At Whole Foods they sell little bouquets of flowers (tiny, really) and when I bought napkins (yay!) I bought myself a posy.  I had it placed in front of my Rosamunde Pilcher books and it looked lovely there, but Tim knocked it over and I had to move it. 

 I do like my simple sewing machine.  I even oiled it!  I've never oiled a sewing machine before (blush).

 Whole Foods also had these lovely seed packages. 

 I've been looking through old collage journals.

 I'm not sure why I drew this little angel.  I like her wings.  We can't see the angels but we know that they are about.

 

James and Noah are coming over to ride bikes today.  The weather has been typical of March.  It's not very warm but it's okay to be outside wearing a warm sweater. 

I thought we might wish to visit more with our blog friends because we are out and about so much less.  Do you think so?

I pray you are all feeling peace, indescribable peace, and if you aren't feeling it just now, I'll keep praying you do very soon.

I'm going to go take a bath.  Every time I take a bath (almost every time) I remember the book The Hiding Place.  When Corrie ten Boom was released from prison, she found her way to a hospital and was nurtured and cared for.  She had a hot bath after living in the filthy gloom of a concentration camp for so long.  She REALLY felt and treasured that lovely pleasure of getting clean and then she slept between clean, sweet smelling sheets, a delight she had not enjoyed for months and months.  Oh, that I could be so grateful for all the simple joys in life on earth.  You, too.

I have one friend who is waiting for another grandchild to be born right now, at this moment, and I have another friend who has battled cancer for eight years and has just moved into hospice. One new soul coming into the world and one dear soul leaving. 

Thank you for stopping by and saying hello.  You are good and faithful.
