As I write ... Sunday evening
The weather.... Sunny and quite warm.
Right now I am... relaxing after a three day weekend celebrating my birthday, my father's birthday, and Mother's Day.
Thinking... I'm thinking about purchasing a set of size 0 knitting needles. I have a new friend, Colleen, who is going to teach me to make socks.

Lord God, three in one, I thank you that you personally know each one of my readers. You know each one's needs, fears, hopes, problems, pains, and illnesses. I ask you God to speak directly to each one, to meet each person's needs, and heal each physical problem. Bless each spiritually, physically, socially, and financially. I ask it all by the power of the Blood of Jesus, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Congratulations to your son! Hope all goes well for you this week and you feel better and better each day.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jean! Have a terrific week. God is so very good. I know I'll continue to heal.
DeletePlease share you sock journey. I learned to make socks from Winwick Mum's book Super Socks by Christine Perry. It is still a work in progress. I use a 2mm 9 inch circular needle except for toes and heel. I enjoy your blog. Diane in Tennessee
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, I'm hoping to get a phone with a better camera. If I do, I'll try to include photos and tell a bit more about my knitting including learning socks. I've made Christmas stockings and fuzzy feet. I've even made myself one pair of socks, but they are too large, so I sleep in them in the winter. I'm going to learn from someone who knows how to size them.
DeleteGod bless!
Laura
Laura, I hope you've been doing well. I've been a bit absent from my blog and blogs in general so I feel like I've missed so much.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great weekend, and I wish you a blessed wonderful week ahead. :)
I understand Sandra. I've been rather the same way for quite some time. Have a terrific week, and I appreciate your dropping in.
DeleteGod bless!
Laura
Well, Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteI continue to pray you will be blessed and healed and rested!
Oh, thank you. You've been so very kind and faithful to pray. I do appreciate your friendship so much. I'm having pain inside in the entire radiated area. God bless you!

Let me know how your going to knit your socks. On circular needles on the ones with double points. I might be able to share with you. I have a size 8 foot and use 2.5 needles. Hugs, Sandi
ReplyDeleteThe lady who is going to teach me said that I need size 0 circular needles. She also is going to teach me how to measure and make the socks fit.
DeleteYou are so kind!
God bless you,
Laura
Will be sending positive vibes for your health. I have learned to knit socks too... still learning but getting there. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Luludou, I need all the positive I can get. God has been so very good to me. I think there are levels to learning anything.
DeleteGod bless!
Laura
Thank you for that prayer at the end, Laura, and also the Billy Graham quote about the bible!
ReplyDeleteDid you watch the Jerusalem embassy opening ceremony? It was amazing.
You're welcome, Sandi. I was able to watch part of the ceremony before my husband needed me. It was one of the most momentous moments in history. Hmmm...that's rather redundant, isn't it?
DeleteBe blessed,
Laura
Have fun learning to make the socks! I enjoyed making the few pairs I have done in the past, I may have to work on some more! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Jodi!
DeleteI forgot to order my needles, so I have to wait another week. I'm working with a super bulky yarn to make a hat right now. Sock yarn will feel tiny!
I need to start taking photos of what I've been working on and share them on the blog. I'm going to pop over to your blog in just a bit and poke around a bit. I hope you have a lovely week and get lots done!

ReplyDeleteYou too Penny! Hope something wonderful happens!
DeleteHappy Belated Mother's Day and your Birthday!!! You have been busy my friend. Don't worry, that gorgeous hair will return. Continued prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, thank you. You've been so very kind and faithful to pray. I'm having some pain inside in the entire radiated area. God bless you!
DeleteLaura
I pray for your recovery each day. I am thrilled to see that you are doing what you can each day and that you won't give up.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol,
DeleteI am glad to read from you! I am finally learning to pace myself instead of flat wear myself out at every opportunity! Thank you so very much for continuing to pray for me. Just four more chemo treatments! I cannot wait to be done. I am trusting God I'll never have to go through chemo or radiation again. For that matter, I'll never hear another cancer diagnosis again!
God bless you!
Laura
I love your encouraging post today. It blessed me.
ReplyDeleteI read the link to the old fashioned housekeeping post that you put up. I was amazed to see they same system that I grew up on. My mother did that entire system for years and years, and I have the whole thing (set up for another house) somewhere in my boxes. She even took me to see the "Sidetracked ladies" when I was a teen. Through the years, I have done it off and on. Maybe this will encourage me to find it! I do know that my mother's house was always super clean and organized, and it was especially helpful during us 3 girls' teen-age years, she said, because she could just lay out some cards (chores) for us to do, and not get into a battle over it:)
That's really neat Becky. I think I remember FlyLady mentioning that system.
DeleteI am falling behind in visiting, friend, please forgive me. A very Happy Belated Birthday to you, smiles. Keeping you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteNo troubles. I've fallen behind, too. Be blessed! Emily and Michael finished finals this week. Hope all goes well for you.

gDonna'S newest post will surely speak to where you are right now. I love her wisdom. Congratulations on graduating your son! My husband was approved for Social Security disability this week after only 9 months of working on it! This is a real game changer for us. PTL we are so blessed.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrific news Lana! I'm so happy for you! I'll go see what gDonna's written.
DeleteHi Laura! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day and that this week has been blessing you so far. Continuing to send prayers for health and healing. Stay strong you wonderful faith-filled daughter of our wonderful Lord God above! ;)
