t the same then he opened his arms and he called them by name and in that moment was joy that only heaven can bring those children all flew into the arms of their king and as they lingered in the warmth of his embrace one small girl turned and looked at jesus face and as if he could read all the questions she had he gently whispered to her i ll take care of mom and dad then he looked down on earth the world far below he saw all of the hurt the sorrow and woe then he closed his eyes and he outstretched his hand let my power and presence re enter this land may this country be delivered from the hands of fools i m taking back my nation i m taking back my schools then he and the children stood up without a sound come now my children let me show you around excitement filled the space some skipped and some ran all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can and i heard him proclaim as he walked out of sight in the midst of this darkness i am still the light written by cameo smith

there be to look forward to be thankful when you don t know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn be thankful for the difficult times during those times you grow be thankful for your limitations because they give you opportunities for improvement be thankful for each new challenge because it will build your strength and character be thankful for your mistakes they will teach you valuable lessons be thankful when you re tired and weary because it means you ve made a difference it is easy to be thankful for the good things a life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks gratitude can turn a negative into a positive find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings posted by jolene at 8 28 pm 3 comments wednesday october 10 2012 the old sampler the old sampler out of the way in a corner of our dear old attic room where bunches of herbs from the hillside shake ever a faint perfume an oaken chest is standing with hasp and padlock and key strong as the hands that made it on the other side of the sea when the winter days are dreary and we re out of heart with life of its crowding cares aweary and sick of its restless strife we take a lesson in patience from the attic corner dim where the chest still holds it treasures a warder faithful and grim robes of an antique fashion linen and lace and silk that time has tinted with saffron though once they were white as milk wonderful baby garments broidered with loving care by fingers that felt the pleasure as they wrought the rugglesfair a sword with the red rust on it that flashed in the battle tide when from lexington to yorktown sorely men s souls were tried a plumed chapeau and a buckle and many a relic fine and all by itself the sampler framed in with berry and vine faded the square of canvas and dim the silken thread but i think of white hands dimpled and a childish sunny head for here in cross and tent stitch in a wreath of berry and vine she worked it a hundred years ago elizabeth aged nine in and out in the sunshine the little needle flashed and in and out on the rainy day when the merry drops down plashed as close she sat by her mother the little puritan maid and did her piece on the sampler while the other children played you are safe in the beautiful heaven elizabeth aged nine but before you went you had troubles sharper than any of mine oh the gold hair turned with sorrow white as the drifted snow and your tears dropped here where i m standing on this very plumed chapeau when you put it away its wearer would need it never more by a sword thrust learning the secrets god keeps on yonder shore and you wore your grief like glory you could not yield supine who wrought in your patient childhood elizabeth aged nine out of the way in a corner with hasp and padlock and key stands the oaken chest of my fathers that came from over the sea and the hillside herbs above it shake odors fragrant and fine and here on the lid is a garland to elizabeth aged nine for love is of the immortal and patience is sublime and trouble a thing of every day and touching every time and childhood sweet and sunny and womanly truth and grace ever can light life s darkness and bless earth s lowliest place mrs m e sangster poems of home life american tract society n y c new york posted by jolene at 4 04 pm 4 comments tuesday september 25 2012 i started a cross stitch i started a cross stitch the other day i ve started at least a hundred and one and only a handful of those are done my problem is simple and plain and easy to see i m hooked on cross stitch it s not as bad as could be i don t drink or gamble i just sit and stitch this is my weakness my passion my itch each project i buy is exciting and new i can t wait to get started so that s what i do i stitch on the new piece forgetting the old that makes one more piece that i m putting on hold if i bought no more projects ever again i d still never finish if i live to one hundred and ten so i ll keep right on buying forever more i m a preferred customer at my local stitch store and when my time comes in stitchers heaven i ll be with enough unfinished projects to last through eternity i ll sit and i ll stitch all the day through and i may finish a project perhaps even two author unknown posted by jolene at 2 16 pm 19 comments sunday april 1 2012 shepherds bush retreat 2012 i have been patiently waiting for the bush gals to post their brochure for their retreat this fall visit their website at noon april 2nd for the unveiling www shepherdsbush net i wonder what fabulous designers will be there this year i can t wait to find out p s this is not an april fool s joke posted by jolene at 6 50 pm 1 comment monday january 16 2012 a visit from the green grinch himself summer s souvenir by blackbird designs 30 ct dye pot linen gast sunday my furry cuddle bug jibby and i snuggled most of the afternoon watching old black and white movies from the 50 s and i started a new project it was a great way to spend an afternoon after i washed sweaters and did some general cleaning this is yet another patriotic stitch that i have been wanting to do so i was happy to pull everything i needed for it from my overwhelming stash of to do s but like i said no pressure here i am going to enjoy the journey well i did until this little fellow showed up yup i know some of you have been unfortunate to receive a visit by mr frog himself too as you see that purple border well it was suppose to be separated into two lines not one big bulky one ugh i wish the tooth fairy or peter cottontail showed up instead but i guess it was my turn for the grinch of frogs to visit me at least i caught my mistake before it became a monsterous disaster and had most of it done i need to rip out the star too onto other things here is a not so perfect photo of an old quilt i happened along on a visit to one of my favorite thrift stores a steal of a deal for only 6 99 you can t even buy a yard of fabric for that today i love the red baskets and this was a treasure find for me it had never been washed by the looks of it not that it was dirty because it wasn t but it wasn t puckered as cotton tends to do once it is washed so as soon as i got it home i threw it into the washer and here it is love it pretty and simple here is my favorite son or young man brayden he is my near perfect boy he is awesome at everything he does he amazes me everyday he gets straight a s in all of his classes and they aren t easy classes which makes me glad he is getting some college credit for his hard work here are a few samples of his artwork he loves being crafty too just not with needle and thread maybe someday one never knows siberian tiger leopard not sure who this is but most likely an athlete he absolutely loves the game of basketball and he is a go getter at this sport too hope you are staying warm and healthy until next time smiles jolene posted by jolene at 12 10 pm 18 comments labels blackbird designs brayden quilts friday january 13 2012 2012 blackbird designs union forever designed by maggie bonanomi in 2012 i have decided to concentrate on this focus on the journey not the destination joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it so i am going to enjoy my stitching time and not make it a job but a hobby something that relaxes me and calms me from the daily stesses of everyday life i am not pushing the limits on how many projects i have to do and finish in 2012 i just want to enjoy the feel of the fibers threads and textures along with the beautiful flavors as i stitch with my needle simple and doable with no strings attached so with this in mind i started something new for the new year something that would sing to my heart when the skies are bleak and gray something simple yet subtle and delivers a punch so i turned to our nations colors the red white and blue i am focusing on patriotism this month and the brave hearts that give us these freedoms the freedoms that are not free but come with a high price sometimes that price is life may i introduce you to my first finish for 2012 smiles jolene posted by jolene at 2 14 pm 26
