The...Sorry I'm late getting to this post Betsy! The smoke and the haze here was just terrible, and it hurt to just be outside! So thankful that the rains we have been getting have put a stop to that! I imagine you are on your way to NE to visit with your precious family. So much tragedy around us, at times almost unbearable to hear any more. Thank you for mentioning the verse that has stood by me so many times. How blessed we are that in the midst of such suffering we can lean on the Lord for our strength. I know what you mean by praying and working away, I do that too. All your projects are lovely, the sweet little tablecoth adds a darling element of charm to your home! Oh, that Sweet Piper, so precious! Have a blessed visit, dear friend, and will look forward to hearing about your trip when you get home!

SO sorry you are still having so much haze from the fires. It seems like this is being forgotten or overshadowed by so many other disasters...our world is in utter chaos. The verse Marilyn and you shared is one of my favorites...well, that whole chapter is a favorite. SO many promises made to us if we dwell in the secret place of the Most High.

I love the verse you shared. That psalm has special meaning for me in my youth. I've also heard it called the Christians insurance policy. :-D<br />Very sad re lives lost, for no gain, I'm glad we've stronger gun laws than the US. It's never happened in a school here to my knowledge that someone is shot and killed. Admittedly we are a smaller country but still none is a blessing indeed.<br />Praying for journey mercies. I'm so glad you can travel. Yes, I take all of my medication, toothbrush, clean undies and socks are my standby. I've had luggage go astray. Teaches a lesson.<br />Sending hugs and prayers, for God's ongoing mercies with you and those you love ... <br />Shaz in Oz.x <br />ps amazed at your productivity making a dress in about 24hours!!<br />ShazInOzCardsCalligraphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246279405851387500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-34846234977006792752017-09-15T09:55:10.384-05:002017-09-15T09:55:10.384-05:00Oh Betsy.

May people turn to God for comfort and to help get through these times. That verse you shared is a good one! I really like that "I love Cotton" yarn also but have not had a chance to try the knit pic one yet. I love your bouquets of flowers and think putting them in a canning jar makes them even more lovelier.

But this afternoon at work I could see something like smoke but one customer said there were alot of farmers working in their fields lately. On my way home I could tell there was smoke from west to east in the sky. Not clouds. I-84 has been opened partially, in one direction. Sorry to hear of the incidents with teen boys dying. Never understood that and it happened here in town to a couple of our firefighters' sons! Sigh! Never saw it coming. Fun knitting projects. I'm hoping to stop in town where memorial will be and visit a knitting store since I won't be going to Flock and Fiber fest. Sigh! Oh well. Thanks so much for your kind words and prayers. I am working through the loss! Have a good trip to NE and enjoy your sweet granddaughter!

My dear friend, we are hearing about your fires way over here in Florida. They are just as tragic as what has happened here. So much destruction, so many people affected by the weather, mother nature and very stupid young men that would take that incident back in a second if they could. You have been on my mind as has Teresa and other blogging friends out there near the fires. I pray for rain, and I pray for that young man who caused such destruction without understanding the big picture of his actions. I love your knitting dear Betsy.Mereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.com
