Restful Sunday

So, I'm afraid this will be another photo-less blog. I wanted to get a couple this morning, but we needed to get going.
A gift of Tin: The "vases" holding the flower arrangements at the front of our church.
A gift of glass: Some new beads that came in the mail this week!
A gift of wood: The pulpit, from which we hear the truth of the Gospel each week.

A gift nearly worn out: Beading needles! I am down to my last decent one! They have all gone missing or broken. So much creating!
A gift new: the rose at the front of the church today, standing for the new little life that has joined our church family this week.
A gift made-do: my phone, still not working well, poor coverage. But really, I have what I need.

3 gifts seen as reflections: 
~ My cozy living room seen through our large mirror.
~ Feminine accessories on my dresser: hair "things" and bracelets made by my fingers.
~ Looking at how long my hair is getting, I didn't really realize that!

Found it!

I found the January Joy dare~ Woot!
So, I'll be sprinkling those gifts in the coming days as well.
Also, todays gifts are tomorrows on the dare, but that's what I get for waiting to look at the dare list until after lunch on a lazy day off.

3 gifts white: My tumbler! It was lost and now is found. Months later. I left it at church!

                                                    Milk for my coffee Pu’erh tea

 

My Vanilla Noel Candle. Sweet and soothing.

 3 things about yourself you are grateful for:
~My creativity.
~ My passion. Once I'm sold on something, I'm passionate about it.
~ My femininity.

Really feeling the spiritual battle right now. Some days I fight through and worship and give thanks and He gets the glory. Other days not so much.
Really wanting thankfulness to be the focus of my life. I want to focus on that instead of constantly complaining, which is where I naturally go.
His Grace is huge.
