I Didn't Have Time To Pray - Poetry Break

I heard this poem many, many years ago and it has always stuck with me.


I Didn't Have Time

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day!
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask!"

I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"Why, child, you didn't knock!"

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on, gray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."

I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray!

Funny Friday - Take Your Vitamins!

Happy Birthday Beautiful Soul.

On this day in history - one of the most beautiful souls was created and sent to Earth to eventually be with me, I know some people don't think dogs have souls but those people are wrong.  God created them, Heaven would not be complete without dogs in it.  I know that one day I will be reunited with this beautiful soul.  I miss him every single day - my heart still aches for him but I know we will be together again.

Just Breathe

I've been listening to a lot of contemporary Christian music the past couple of weeks - there are so many great Christian songs and it is hard to pick a favorite so I won't, but this one has been stuck in my head for a few days so thought I would share.

WIP Wednesday

Happy Hump Day!!  Hump - DAAAYYY !!

Another week, another Wednesday and another Work In Progress

I haven't worked on my Trip Around the World crochet afghan.  Why?  Because I was invited to join a dishcloth swap on Ravelry.

Here is how it works:  You make 5 dishcloths, all the same pattern, but different colors (if you so desire). You mail in those 5 dishcloths by the deadline and then you get 5 different dishcloths made by 5 different people sent back to you.  How fun!!

So...since dishcloths are a quick project, I decided to join in.  I knew exactly which pattern I wanted to try.....The Almost Lost Dishcloth.   I had attempted this pattern before but kept messing it up - I got frustrated and gave up.

However, I saw this as a new opportunity to try it again and for some reason, I didn't have a single problem this time.  In fact, I can whip one of this out pretty quickly and I usually consider myself a slow knitter.  Aren't they pretty?

So far...I have finished 3 1/2 so I only need to finish the current one I am working on and 1 more! I'm looking forward to seeing the ones I get back.
