They Say Things Happen in 3's

We received another RSVP in an email last night.  After the shock.  I made a Prayer Flag.


I have been in contact with this friend, frequently; and I knew she was in physical therapy for a back problem--that the doctor was attributing to a pulled hamstring.  She had become discourage because the PT was not working.  She made appointment with a second doctor, went for an MRI.  It is not her hamstring, but some serious back problems--that probably was caused from a fall she had over a year ago.  They think she broke her back---She will know more details on Wednesday.  I hope the doctors can relieve some of this pain she is having and give her a path to improvement.  The third Prayer Flag will be in the mail today.  If it is true that "things happen in 3's"  this should be the end and all other family and friends will be in good health.  Have a wonderful Monday.  Happy Quilting!

Monday---Two Prayer Flags in the Mail

On July 9, hubby and I are going to have a party.  It's to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Hard for me to believe--I don't feel much older than that day in 1966 when we took our vows.  Our party will be at a local wine garden, with a little music and a small group of family and friends.  Since we need a head count it's RSVP.  It has been nice hearing voices we have not heard in many years.  But with those RSVP's has come some very sad news.  Friday night we received a call from my husband's youngest cousin.  This cousin has always lived a state away and we have not seen him for years.  Communication has been via email.  He has cancer and given six months to live.  After the shock, I made a Prayer Flag.

 

 I wanted the flag to be uplifting and happy---so decided on these colorful tropical fish.  Beads that look like bubbles and a vintage fabric that contains the words courage, strength, healing and peace.  I do hope this little flag brings him peace in the days ahead. 

This morning I received a call from one of my quilting friends.  She and her husband will not be attending because she has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's.  After the shock.  I made a Prayer Flag.


  These two little  flags will be in the mail on Monday with Blessings and Prayers.  In my prayers tonight I will thank the Lord for the good health I have been given.  It is a blessing we all sometimes take for granted.  Not this gal.  Happy Quilting!!

Sunday---Precious Promises

Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.  Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good.

Sunday---Precious Promises


Be wise in the way you act toward those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have.  Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.  
Colossians 4:5-6, Good News Bible

Sunday---Just a Thought

Thoughts--I read somewhere, so this morning I'm sharing.  
Special Promises will be back next Sunday.


There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.  You surround yourself with people who make you laugh.  Forget the bad and focus on the good.  Love the people who treat you right.  Life is too short to be anything but happy.  Falling down is a part of life, getting ac up is living.
