Hi Everybody!

Well, summer is almost over...wow!! I just absolutely cannot believe it! School is back in most places and all the children are happy...aren't they??? At least some of them are for right now with their new backpacks, notebooks, pens and such! But that usually doesn't last very long....then comes the boring homework and the running them here and there and to bed early and on and on!! Ours are all grown now but doesn't seem all that long ago that I was in that routine and running around like a chicken with my head cut off!! I miss those days.....VERY MUCH!! Now I just run around like a chicken with my head cut off for other reasons....like---LIFE in general. Because there is, it seems, always something, as my Mother used to say, something in life to keep you busy! Now we have grandchildren and the children which are grown that are all living around us and....well life just keeps on happening and going and going and going.

I read something the other day on a Church billboard that really struck my heart and I have thought about it a lot ....it was: Life has a LOT of choices, Eternity has TWO! I know I have made soo many choices in life, some good, some bad. Haven't we all. But the one choice we all need to make is the one for Eternity with the Lord. This is the one that probably concerns every parent and grandparent also for their children , that they will make that decision. Psalms 127:3 says Children are an heritage of the Lord. Mark 10:14 says Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. I know how much the Lord loves our children and grandchildren. You are blessed if you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, cousin, brother, sister. Love them...cherish them.....have fun with them....enjoy them....tell them about Jesus. Treat them as Jesus would treat them.... you will be blessed also.

I have designed this little Sampler called: School Days....make it up as a sampler or pinkeep. I hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful day!

Blessings always, Nancy

Hi everyone.....

How is your summer going? Hope by now you have all been on your vacation and had a great time! Has it ever been hot around here! Probably in your neck of the woods too!

I have been listing new cross stitch charts and punchneedle patterns in the Ebay store today....there are just more and more beautiful designs coming all the time! It always amazes me! The Lord has given us all a talent and I hope you are using yours. Each of us is so special in His eyes. I have designed another free sampler for you. This one is called "Faith Comes By Hearing". It is taken from the Bible Scripture Romans 10:17 -faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. I do hope you will enjoy stitching it and meditate on the Word as you are stitching it as to what Faith means. Please change the color of floss to whatever color you prefer and if you want to use a different fabric.....linen or other size aida cloth, please do so. This is for you to enjoy!

God Bless You Always,

Nancy
