Sewing with Grandma

I do all my sewing on my Grandma's Singer sewing machine. From time to time it needs some TLC. This process can't be rushed. I have to s l o w down and try to diagnose why it is acting up. It might be dust, a caught piece of thread or something as silly as an aversion to the type of thread I've chosen. This machine is very picky. I'm just not ready to turn it in for a newer model. I prefer to be patient, kind and longsuffering. Hmm...sounds like great advice doesn't it?

Lent

Many people give something "up" for Lent. I'm suggesting that we truly GIVE something to "fill up". Christ gave us so much. We can give back in so many ways. I challenge you to fill this basket up for Him. Go ahead, deny yourself in just one little way and fill up this basket. Give love or forgiveness to someone. Send that note to a loved one. Visit that friend that needs your touch. Cut a lawn, babysit a child, make a meal, fill a gas tank, pay a bill...

Fill Up!
