Finger Print Friday - I am Blessed

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
..."I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God"...

So look around and see where you can find God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do YOU see them?Here's how to join in: Write your own interpretation of where you see God’ fingerprints, then join “The Rusted Chain’s” blog and follow her directions for sharing with others!Visit her Etsy Shop too!

I AM BLESSED-

As I was having breakfast this moring I was trying to think of something to contribute to todays Fingerprint Friday Post. "Hmmmm....as I sat eating eggs, biscuits, meal gravy, buttered biscuits and syrup, and having my coffee....not to mention still in my pj's, all warm and cozy, just sitting, staring and thinking...where do I see God's fingerprints?" And then it hit me. Do I really have to think about it? I am blessed! Look at the choices I have already made just in one morning! Am I too comfortable? God please have mercy on us all and help us have compassion for those in need!

Last night I watched a horrible story about Jaycee Dugard, and then again another about a young 16 year old girl who was found alive after 15 days buried among the rubble, in Haiti. And I would have to ponder about today's post?

My friend Beki is donating 10.00 for every one of these necklaces she sells to a Haiti relief program. I received mine yesterday. Won't you please help?

And for those who watched last night's program about Jaycee Dugard and her horrible 18 years in captivity, here is a link to donate to her trust fund.

"But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" I John 3:17

I have a new PA (Personal Assistant)

This is "Manni", she is the newest addition to my company and now has the title of PA (Personal Assistant). I saw her on Ebay and knew the moment I laid eyes on her she was destined to work for me! She is well trained, very photogenic, and never disrespects me. I can pose her the way I want in any outfit and she never moves or complains when she models the clothing I sew. After battling with grandchildren, neighbors, and applicants, I decided live models were just a little too inconvenient for me. And frustrating. Not to mention some people don't like the idea of their newly purchased garments having been previously worn. So Manni and I get along quite well. She even assists in the sewing room if needed. She doesn't mind standing there for countless hours while I make important corporate decisions about where a hem should fall, pocket or applique placement, lace or no lace,...etc. Once I stuck her with a pin and she never uttered a sound! She is great. And the real kicker is, she works for free! I think I'll keep her. I really enjoy the solitude of working along side of such a perfect employee. Why didn't I hire her years ago?
If you would like to see Manni in her new modeling debut, feel free to click here on my Etsy Shop link and see her!

Fingerprint Friday- "Refreshing Snow"

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:

...I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know its true

You're a masterpiece

That all creation quietly applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of God...

So look around and see where you can find God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do YOU see them?

This is my 22 year old son, Clint, and Bindi, my dachsund, watching it snow. Something that doesn’t happen very often in Sweet Home Alabama!
I love snow. I think everyone loves snow. Maybe because snow is so white and bright and clean and refreshing. It’s peppermint to the soul! Snow gives me that same feeling of when I was a little girl running through clean white sheets blowing in the breeze hanging from a clothesline in springtime. There’s a refreshing burst of energy and excitement just being among such a vast palette of clean and white, don’t you think? Doesn't God need to remind us occasionally to stop, regroup, renew, and start afresh? I believe He does.

*******************************************************************************

“Purge me with *hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” -Psalms 51:7 -KJV

*hyssop- (hiss’-up) 1. a fragrant bushy plant used for medicine and flavoring, belonging to the mint family. 2. a plant whose twigs were used for sprinkling water in certain religious ceremonies -Worldbook Dictionary
