Seeking to be kind and find peace.
Excerp from "The Imitation of Christ" Author Thomas A Kempis
page 21
Chapter 4-On being prudent in what we accept and do
1. It is not good to be taken in by every word or impulse that comes our way, but consider the thing prudently and thoughtfully in order not to offend God. Because we are frail we are always ready to believe the worst of people. Those who seek perfection realize that human nature is weak and prone to spread the evil work.
2. It is wise, therefore, to act slowly, not to trust intirely our own opinions, or to accept every tale and quickly pass it along to the next one. Seek advice from a wise person of good conscience and be instructed by that person rather than follow your own way. A good life will make you wise in the ways of God and will broaden your experience. If you are humble and submissive to GOD'S will, you will have peace in all you do.
I know that I am guilty of this, and now working to improve!! By God's Grace.

How quilting represents the Trinity in my heart
As I take the three layers of a quilt, the quilt top, the batting, and the backing, I am reminded that it is not a quilt without these three layers. And as I freemotion quilt these layers together they become one. They are not "one quilt" on there own, but together, the three are one. Just as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three separate "beings" yet one. Always together and never apart. Blessed are we.

Epoxy Resin candle jars or Prayer candle holders and Rosary holders
I made these candle jars during the last few days. The largers ones I am going to use as Rosary holders but they are technically candle jars with lids. I have been wanting to create some containers for my Rosaries and I am hoping that others would enjoy the same!!!
The little candle holders are too small for the Rosaries but fit a tea candle perfectly. I am calling this series "Gifts of the Magi" as they brought to baby Jesus, Gold-Frankencense and Myrrh. The little candles fragrance are Frankencense and Myrrh and all of the containers have gold glitter. I am super happy with them. I made them in Yellow and Green for our favorite college team, The Oregon Ducks!!!
Hope you like them.
