Thursday, January 5, 2012. Today and Everyday The Celebration Goes On. Today Elizabeth's blog challenged me to celebrate little things. I sure don't do that enough. I don't laugh enough either. I miss laughing. So this week I am going to celebrate:. My small group - they make me laugh! The faithfulness of my husband - sometimes he makes me laugh, too! Growing up as Ben's mom and learning new and hard lessons about letting go. My job - that it is THE ministry that God has provided for me to do. All of my ...

For a new year beginning this means looking ahead to December 31, 2012 and asking myself, "What would I like to see accomplished/changed and what are some specific ways of getting there? All of my goals and plans can be worked out in this way. Bite-sized. Because He lives, Janet. Janet @ Made For This. January 2, 201...

Friday, July 29, 2011. Loving to knit, of course, I had to make some beanies for Ben. I don't have a lot of pictures of them but here is one of his beanies. I am currently trying to convince his best friend that he needs one of my beanies, a red one perhaps. But it doesn't matter - I will always have Ben to knit beanies for! Janet @ Made For This.

Thursday, January 27, 2011. T shirt quilt and Sweater. Christmas 2008 - I knitted a sweater for Elizabeth - my first! And so far my last. And for Ben, I took some of his old tshirts, including one with Cookie Monster (that his Grandpa John had given him as a baby), and made him a quilt. I had more fun that Christmas! Janet @ Made For This. This piece was my FIRST EVER piece of embroidery. It was for my mother for Mother's Day and she kept it! Janet @ Made For This. Janet @ Made For This.

Made For This: Treasures in the Box
http://madeforthis7.blogspot.com/2011/09/treasures-in-box.html
Monday, September 12, 2011. Treasures in the Box. Eric and I have started going through the accumulated boxes of nearly 34 years of marriage and parts of the lives lived before that. Then there are boxes containing memories of and for Elizabeth and Benjamin. I was struck this morning how intermingled these memories are. How the question "what do I do with THIS? Always ends up being either "Goodwill" or put it in Elizabeth's box. (Being the firstborn comes with privileges AND curses.). High school pennant...

Made For This: Humility today
http://madeforthis7.blogspot.com/2011/12/humility-today.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. God is teaching me about humility. He has been for some time. And I have been so proud that He has been teaching me. Wow, Janet. Could it get any worse? Today I ask for forgiveness. Today probably won't begin a whole new relationship with this person. And I am not even sure there will be forgiveness. But today I ask. And today I find joy in this that God loves me enough to discipline me. The hard way. Janet @ Made For This. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
