Beaded 2 Bless

Many of you have been praying that my Mom would wake up and on July 9th at 11p.m. she woke up with the light of Jesus Christ shining on her. Praise God. She went peacefully with family and friends gathered around talking over her. We were all there. I am blessed with the ability to have been standing at her side when she drew her last life giving breath and to have known that she was saved many years ago and will be waiting in heaven. My mother was well respected in society and loved by all her co-workers and peers. She will be missed by a multitude of people that she has befriended over the years. My heart goes out to her husband of 20 some-odd years. He is a terrific man and loved her dearly. I pray that he knows that he did everything he could to make Momma happy. She loved him and directed his daily path, I pray that he doesn't loose his way. I am blessed to have been able to help him. I would have liked to been there a little while longer but I pray that he will find the Comf...

I have taken a trip to Mississippi to see my Mom. I was told before I left that she will be released from the hospital into hospice care. The day we arrived she was alert and took her meds orally, she hasn't been awake since. We arrived after she has fallen asleep, so we haven't gotten to really talk with her only at her.The Doc says she may not wake up. I found a scripture that says- Wake up sleeping one, arise from the dead and the light of Jesus Christ will shine on you. Please pray this for my Momma. She is asleep and she knows that I am there. When I read the bible to her she was quiet but after I have read a little she starts snoring . She turns her head a little and raises her arms a little but nothing coherent. My husband and I have agreed that I will come home and take care of some things and then go back to take care of my Mom. He will be keeping he kids so-- please pray for him everyday that all will be well with them and that God's peace will be over them. I a...

I have to say, I was inspired by three things presented to me by the gals at ATC Connection when the altered forks started appearing for the swap I am hosting. I instigated this whole altered art thing there and am very happy to be learning new tricks from others! One of the things I saw that I had to try that was different than what I was doing was to use the whole fork in one piece instead of cutting the handle off (which hubby was doing for me). Then I received a fork that had its tines curled differently than I was currently doing- that has sent me on a whole new tangent of fork making. The third thing was wings! I just bought a mold that has right and left wings to it and had made up a pair and I didn't know what to do with them. Well here it is. The face was from a mold and I had it laying around just waiting for the perfect project to come along. I think this fits the description. I have been blessed with inspiration from these ladies and for a husband that always helps me ...
