I think that when we reach mid-life we tend to reflect back on our life and sometimes find we are a little too critical of our life. I believe you are a wonderful person whose character is reflected in the beautiful things you make, the words you<br />write and the example you are to those around you. As I read your blog and share emails I feel of your goodness and greatness. You are making a difference in many lives by sharing you thoughts and feelings. I hope all will be well with your family and that that new grand baby arrives shortly. Do take some time to just curl up with a good book or a crochet hook. Thanks again for a uplifting post.

So much going on in these times of ours, so many needs, and we sometimes forget that it really isn't all about what we do. We simply aren't that capable. It's all about Him. And if changes must be made, well then, let Him work them through as you lean on Him. Don't assume that there's a thing that needs doing without His telling you so.

I'm half-way or more through this physical life and I wonder about myself, too. I've tried to be the best I can be in all areas, but I know that I fail daily. We just have to pick ourselves back up and strive to daily do better than the day before. I pray that my kids can see the character in me that we've tried to teach them. I pray that they will be and do better than my husband and I have done. We pray and train them up in the ways of the Lord and hope that they can take up the daily walk themselves one day and be a light in their worlds.<br /><br />Cute little grandson you have there. He IS a sweet sticky mess! But I bet you get some good sugar from that sweet little face!<br /><br />That's a beautiful little sweet sweater that you made. You're so talented! It's absolutely perfect and looks so baby-soft!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480650597030131765.post-12742199066327937602011-02-22T13:13:13.954-07:002011-02-22T13:13:13.954-07:00"cloudy, drippy, soon to be snowy and windy&q..."cloudy, drippy, soon to be snowy and windy" Oh giggles, it is the L-O-N-G time of year, isn't it? Since the sun is shining today, I can't complain. But..... Cloudy and dripping with snow coming! And wind coming! Eeeeeek!!!<br /><br />So sorry that your children continue to have difficult times. -sigh- This hurts a parent.<br /><br />Oh Hon, please don't beat-yourself-up too much, over "character." 'Cause that's a catch word for.... "Got to be goood, gooood, goooood, all the time, time, time." We are human. How can we be goooood, goooood, gooood, alllll the time, time, time? <br /><br />Sure it's valuable to try to lose icky habits, by replacing them with non-icky habits. Because it feels better. <br /><br />But to worry over the process, and "beat our selves up," over the whole thing...... -sigh- I just don't see it. But I know. I am I and you are you. :-)<br /><br />What a cutie, you have pictured!<br /><br />Are you staying with that sooooooo grrrrrreat spiky hair style?

I know they have all been sick; but I haven't got through to them yet. I need an update. <br />You are so good an crocheting. Wow, I wish I could do something that beautiful. I always have flaws. I keep trying anyway. I will be remembered as the one who couldn't do it right. <br />Loved the recipe; it looks yummy. We are having the Elders' for dinner and I almost paniced because our electricity went out and it wasn't suppose to be back on until 2:30 pm. <br />I am saved it came back on; but now I am behind as usual. <br />Have an awesome day and I think you have a loving perfect heart.<br />Blessings to you!
