So I am now 5 months behind, but I shall continue. With moving, I have had no time or patience for my stitching which I love. However, this past weekend being, the second weekend in May is my embroiderers' guild's Friendship Day, but as I am on a limited budget, I was not too hopeful of finding the $20 needed to attend.<br /><br />Then I realised it was also Mother's Day and my birthday the next day, so I decided I would do nothing but stitch for 3 days. I loved it, and everything is now calm & peaceful again. I completed a pincushion, and began another small for a thread tag as well as hand sewing a repair for my sister. Next weekend I am getting the machine out. <br /><br />Now I have found my Peace and everything is back to gentle and even within myself, and although content to be back on my own, I'm more at Peace with it than I was in December.<br /><br />Thank you for your guidance so far this year. When my blog is tidied up and underway again, I shall post the link here.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />MarianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-82637784171375093272015-05-09T00:23:52.921+10:002015-05-09T00:23:52.921+10:00Hello, I really love what you do I wonder how I co...Hello, I really love what you do I wonder how I could have missed your blogvoyance gratuitehttp://www.voyance-gratuite-mail.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-64901256575827755962015-05-05T23:16:32.927+10:002015-05-05T23:16:32.927+10:00HI Jennny

About a month ago I took the old Bible from my shelf that I used in my 20's and used it for about a fortnight - it was such fun flicking through it pages seeing my notes and prayers from that time. Peace like a river flows.<br />KarenBaa. xxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992879898811807074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-6566122023825447402015-05-04T06:59:13.465+10:002015-05-04T06:59:13.465+10:00I love that God leads us gently (when we willingly...I love that God leads us gently (when we willingly follow) through the discoveries of His all-encompassing love for us. Just think of all you learned on the journey to be reunited with your beloved Bible!! I find God's peace in nature and when I am quilting. As I stand and move my longarm around a quilt, I talk with God...praying for anyone who comes to my mind. Knowing that God hears my prayers brings me peace. I am consciously working to always let go and let God take care of the hard stuff. I finally decided that when I worry over anything, it is my way of telling God He doesn't know what He is doing and that I don't trust Him...so I am replacing worry with thanksgiving that God does know what He is doing and He will do the right thing in every situation. His peace replaces my fretting!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-40846624904017071612015-05-04T03:43:51.993+10:002015-05-04T03:43:51.993+10:00Thank you for sharing that.

It's been an interesting time, a joyful time, a fearful time, and I've had a growing love for this ancient days prophet who saw so much of us. I can't imagine how he held so much in his head about his times, the times of Christ and the last days, without going a little crazy, but then, he lived close to the Lord! I'm almost at a loss about where to go next for study, so I'm reading old treasured scriptures while I wait for the Lord to nudge me. <br /><br />We had stake conference today, and the stake president's challenge to all of us was to read the scriptures with our families every day, and to study and ponder what we read. I think that's where I find my peace, as well as my joy. He promised we would feel three things: A rise in compassion; A rise in spirituality; A rise in the desire and ability and opportunity to spread the gospel. Can't ask for more than that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-19016450130150905992015-05-03T23:12:59.965+10:002015-05-03T23:12:59.965+10:00I love all your postings, Jenny because there is a...I love all your postings, Jenny because there is a beautiful spirit behind them (yes, of course I adore your work as well! It's why I started visiting your site.) Jesus might have used your story of the lost Bible as a parable, eh? An amazing picture of God's attitude toward those who are not yet part of His kingdom. So touching. PS I wept tears of joy when you found your precious Bible. Thank you for sharing such an uplifting message.

We haved moved house and of course took all our worldly possessions - trip after trip we made with box load and box load of "stuff" I was overjoyed with the thought of my very own accessible "open all hours" space but it soon became the home for the overflowing boxes. I needed, we needed to downsize and so we have and boot load by boot load to the local Savers store. Then I came to my collection over twenty years of craft magazines - this one was hard - as a lot of my hopes and dreams were tied up in these - of a life I wanted so much to have... But I knew in my heart of heart I just couldn't keep them all - it was time that someone out there had a chance to enjoy them. A girlfriend put her hand up - she would take them only if she could hand them on. We agreed. I must admit I have gone through them and I have found some 'diamonds' among the piles - these I have (for the moment) kept. The rest I have 'released' and with it I have an overwhelming sense of peace. We hold onto stuff, because it makes us safe, gives us a sense of identity - but rarely a sense of peace.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354998238182080069noreply@blogger.com
