Oh My SOUL....

Sometimes we feel like we have been STOMPED on.... Last week I managed to stab myself in the finger with a shard of glass...mind you not just any finger but my right index ! It swelled up overnight and started to travel down to my hand. Now i know what the saying...sore as a bears paw means ! THROB THROB THROB... SO off to the Doctors i went... After 3 hours in the waiting room with 30 hacking coughing sick people and 3 X- rays , a tetanus shot and a antibiotics shot... prescription in hand i left feeling i had been in a war zone. Needless to say 24 hours later I was hacking coughing and miserable.... My finger is getting better slowly... With all my to do lists GOD has a way of showing you to slow down and rest in him. I have ,this week The Scarlet Thread a book by Francine Rivers has been my rest. Thank Him in all THINGS..... HOPE and RESTORATION....PRAISE HIM...

Key to my HEART....

My friend Nancy just came in to share the little PRECIOUS PURSE she made..... LOVE the lace she stitched on ! I LOVE that we each bring out each others creativity.... INSPIRATION !

Precious Purses.....
