Well, it's been a while since I've updated, so I have to tell ya what I have learned to do, and show you some pictures!! :)

I have taken up a new hobby...and I'm telling you, I AM LOVING IT!!! 

LOOM KNITTING!!  Here's what I've been doing.....




Most of my work has been done on a round loom; but I just started to learn to use a rectangular loom, as well.  The round loom, so far, is what I use to make stocking caps with; whereas the rectangular one I use to make scarves.  You can use a round loom to make scarves, but truthfully, the rectangular one is much nicer for scarves, or table runners, etc.

So here is some of my work.  Tell me what you think!!






This last one is a chemo cap that I have made for my Mom.  Since she has lost her hair because of Chemo / Radiation, her head gets cold during the night.  So this cap I made out of a very soft spun yarn that feels very warm and cozy to the touch!  She Loves It!!!    She said it feels so good against her skin!  I'm so glad she liked it. 

Anyway, that's what I've been doing with my down time!

As far as Mom is concerned, she is still hanging in there.  The Lord has really worked in our relationship; and continues to do so.  I can honestly say that we are on the road to reconciliation and recovery!  I'm so glad!  Nothing feels worse than to know your Mom is dying, and you are on the outs with each other!  So the Lord is blessing this time that we have left, and we are making the best of it.  Thank you Jesus!

The Cleaning Business has been very busy lately!! I've picked up 4 one-time cleaning jobs; and 2 regular customers, with the possibility of another one coming -- PLUS all my regular customers!!!!  My calendar for November is swamped!  Very good timing, too!  Now I just hope that it keeps up and helps us get through Xmas financially!

The weather has been PERFECT here lately!!! We've been seeing temps upwards of 60's and 70's!!!  It's been so BEAUTIFUL!!!  I love this time of year; especially when we have a full Harvest Moon!!  Oh man, that is just breathtaking!

Okay, so that's all that's happening with me.  So what's new with you????

Nite Everyone!

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21

Many times in life we are asked the question, “What’s most important to us?” For Christians, we normally hear things like: God, our relationship to our Savior, doing God’s will, my family, etc. This question also requires us to look at where we are spending our time. Many times in my own life, when I weighed what I thought was most important to where I spent my time and energy, they were not the same. This led me to believe that I knew what should be the most important thing, but, in reality, it was not. 

This scripture states that our treasure and heart will be in the same place. What we spend our time thinking about and our energy doing is what is most important in our lives. From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The things that we talk about are the things that are in our hearts. This is an indication of where our treasure is. Our lives are like a garden: we produce what has been planted. If the most important things in life are not where our treasure is, then we can change. We can refocus. If we have not made God’s will and direction in our life the treasure, then we can by turning our will and our way over to Him. If we begin to plant the things of God in our lives and in the lives of our families, this will bring us not only in focus with God’s plan, but will move our heart into a right relationship with God. Our heart and our treasure will then be put into the center of God’s will. By putting God first in our lives and seeking His will and direction, everything else will become a right priority: our relationship with our family, our relationship with God, and our relationship with the things of this world. In my life I must periodically examine where my time is spent so that I may know if I am keeping the number one thing the number one thing.
