Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'
God has shown himself strong to me in the past few weeks through my children. It seemed after Little E was born that Big T and Sweet E couldn't sit still through church for anything without fussing/squirming. It was really getting frustrating. It seemed like no matter what we did they would not calm down. Well....it's like a light went on all of a sudden. For 2 weeks in church they have been sitting relatively quiet and even at our Bible study last week they sat by Hubby and I and were content. Now...I know this doesn't mean that they are going to be perfect angels from now on. They will have their set backs, but I just love how God works. As long as we are consistent in training our children it will one day "sink in." (On Sunday a Brother said, "With child training there are days that you want to pull your hair out! And then it's like...they all of a sudden "get" what you were trying to teach them.") God can do the same thing with us. We may think...maybe God wants me to take more initiative in "A". But maybe you dismiss it and move on. Then the next week you may have a Brother or Sister in Christ ask you about "A". You may even dismiss it after that. But it's amazing can God can bring things up in our Bible Studies, our prayers, our children, family, friends, work, etc. If God wants you to do something he isn't going to let you "get away." Hopefully, if we are smart enough to open our eyes and see what God is trying to show us....it can be a huge blessing! Is God talking to you? Are you listening or do you have your fingers in your ears? Open up to what God is trying to show you...it'll be amazing. =)
