Hello again my friends, I wanted to say thanks for stopping by. Nice to see you again Amanda and read your words which touched me back. It's God's grace that heals us even from the pains of guilt and condemnation, which people sometimes assist us in being buried under. I came out of that kind of condemnation, not feeling that I was free of any wrong or weakness, but with a compassion for people who fall in life, even if by divorce, and need lifting up rather than being hammered further into the despair. God may not like divorce or separation, but he doesn't like the logs of self righteousness we get in our eye either; "all" our works are filthy rags right, so who is really Righteous among us expect who finds any righteousness they have in God's own grace? God made a way for me and you as he is the way maker for anyone at all who looks to him, right? I like to see you more Amanda.
Jo, What a very pretty "Kim"...I loved it! Very pretty, thanks.
Pat, You'll never need a new picture, because yours radiates with warmth and kindness! You are a sweety and that's that.
Happy sewing! I still havn't gotten to my quilts! Too much reading to do for school! Maybe I'll get to it in my Rockin chair days?
Nicky, Your pictures are known to speak! This one speaks of younger, more peaceful and innocent days, in my favorite place...the country! "rose" is on the mailbox; my mother's maiden name, my daughter's middle name, and part of user names I use just because it's a pretty word. I noticed it.
Branka, You're a sincere heart and a heart! And people of heart are A O K to me!
Thomas, What a nice thing you do here; I'm sure everyone finds themself blessed to be thought of in your Sunday Showcase; I like the "idea" of giving people a stage of special focus. You know how little it takes to spark encouragement or life in someone? To simply outwardly notice something in someone that means something to them has a way of stiring that thing in them or bringing life to it. You do know don't you. In days of ministry I always feel such a desire to reach out and stir up the gifts in people, and you do that for me!
Always good to see you and read your words. Thanks, Kim
