hot outside. now tired but happy. met some new people and have an apron order. I bought yellow/ pink rose/green leaves fabric and some pale yellow fabric for the lining of apron. And cream lace to trim it.


Might have a few photo portrait sessions this summer also! Two people were interested. One a senior  and the other a family.
Praise the Lord for His blessings toward me! :-)


Have a great day in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Those pesky forward emails... this one isn't pesky!

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.    The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.     Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.    As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw    a hole in the wall and repaired it.     When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,    "Things aren't always what they seem"     The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very       hospitable farmer and his wife..     After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels      sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.      When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the      farmer and his wife in tears.    Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.     The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could       you have let this happen?    The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.     The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die..    "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied..     "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.   Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed   the wall so he wouldn't find it."    "Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife I gave him the cow instead.     Things a ren't always what they seem."    Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things  don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...                                    Oooo     Some people           (    )    come into our lives   )  /    and quickly go..      (_ /              oooO               (    )       Some people             &nb sp; \  (        become friends                \_ )    and stay awhile...     leaving beautiful          Oooo     footprints on our         (    )       hearts...                       )  /                                          ( _/                     oooO                     (    )      and we are                      \  (          never                       \_ )      quite the same                                   because we have                                  made a good                                   friend!!    Yesterday is history.    Tomorrow a mystery.     Today is a gift.    That's why it's called the   present!      I think this is special...live and savor every    moment... This is not a dress rehearsal!         Right Now -     -somebody is thinking of you.     -somebody is caring about you.    -somebody misses you    -somebody wants to talk to you.    -somebody wants to be with you.     -somebody hopes you aren't in trouble.    -somebody is thankful for the support you have provided.    -somebody wants to hold your hand.    -somebody hopes everything turns out all right.    -somebody wants you to be happy.    -somebody wants you to find him/her.     -somebody is celebrating your successes.     -somebody wants to give you a gift.    -somebody thinks that you ARE a gift.    -somebody loves you.     -somebody admires your strength.     -somebody is thinking of you and smiling.    -somebody wants to be your shoulder to cry on.      SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU TO SEND THIS TO THEM        Never take away anyone's hope.  That may be all they have.

Smiles and Courtesy are contagious
Happiness and Kindness are the wealth of living

great song

More photos from my travels~

This was a wall made from glass with huge letters saying "departures" (at the airport)

    photographing Lossy Mouth (the sea) in Elgin, Scotland

   
     At the train station- he was enjoying his 'cuppa in the morning.
  I edited this one quite a bit as you can tell, I like the dramatic feel.

"A Chosen Generation"

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;"

Have a great day!

Keeping our eyes on HIM :-)

 

shortbread I made for the F.M. (Farmer's Mkt.) 

I was just thinking this week of how we get wrapped up in our day to day lives, school, work, swimming lessons, photography, music practice, that sometimes we forget to think about our Savior, Jesus Christ.

If we took a few moments each day to stop and reflect on His saving grace towards us and the great, terrible price he paid for our salvation from sin.... it would cause us to fall to our knees in humble gratitude.

May we praise the Savior, ye who know Him! 

~Elizabeth

 If you don't recognize this hymn, please go here:

 www.hymnal.net/hymn.php/h/161 

1. Praise the Savior, ye who know Him!
   Who can tell how much we owe Him?
   Gladly let us render to Him
     All we are and have.
2. Jesus is the name that charms us;
   He for conflicts fits and arms us;
   Nothing moves and nothing harms us
     When we trust in Him.
3. Trust in Him, ye saints, forever;
   He is faithful, changing never;
   Neither force nor guile can sever
     Those He loves from Him.
4. Keep us, Lord, oh, keep us cleaving
   To Thyself and still believing,
   Till the hour of Thy receiving
     The victorious Bride.
5. Then we shall be where we would be;
   Then we shall be what we should be;
   Things which are not now, nor could be,
     Then shall be our own.

A photographer I met at the Farmer's Market took this photo below.

He sells "ugly tomatoes" and "ugly cucumbers" because he can't grow a pretty tomato, he said.   :-)

     Jonathan's 16th Birthday

If the thief be found let him pay double           Exodus 27:7

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold    Proverbs 6:31

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.                                    Matthew 18:22

Then I restored that which I took away.         Psalms 69:4

Under the law, the minimum amount a thief was required to restore was double what he had stolen. Solomon, the king decided seven-fold would be appropriate. Our Lord Jesus, on the other hand, would not only forgive an offence seven times, but seventy times seven. Beyond even that, He restored that which He had not stolen away, the thing of greatest value, that is, eternal life. 

-Tom Steere

Down to the depths of woe Christ came to set me free:

He bared His breast, received the blow, which justice aimed at me! -Anon.
