It is a wonder what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.~Samuel Chadwick
"It is tolerably safe to say that those who wear loose, easy-fitting shoes and boots will never be troubled with corns. Some people are more liable to corns than others, and some will persist in the use of tightly-fitting shoes in spite of corns." ~Our Deportment~Or-The Manners, Conduct & Dress of the Most Refined Society, 1880
Mother robins sing softly to the babies in their eggs. I know this for a fact. We watched a nest on the ledge of our eye-lash windows one year. We heard the mother singing to her eggs as she looked down at them...

Things I have learned from animals...
- Ring-necked doves hoot in their sleep
- Geese like lullabyes
- Dogs like to smell lilacs and lily of the valley
- A dog can say "I love you"
- A goose can snore
- An abused animal can learn to trust again-be patient
- They know when you need comforting
- Having a goose on your lap is wonderful
- Being gentle is always right
- They don't care what you look like

- I'm in love with the beauty God made, and His Word. I have to make things and paint pictures, and paint mostly on old barn boards. I love vintage textiles, old lace and antique roses. I like looking at the sky in all kinds of weather.

Beautiful words of wisdom. Happy Thanksgiving.
Have a blessed and beautiful Thanksgiving, Debra! Be sure to check out my new blog, I would like to know what you think. I am still tweaking it! Lori
Debra,
Thank you for your comments!! No, you didn't embarass me with your comments. Just because you may not feel as "godly" as you want to be doesn't mean that you still aren't an inspiration!! The words you write on your blog are always such an inspiration to me. We all aren't always as godly as we want to be. You still seem like a godly woman to me by the words you wrote in your comment. You may not think so,but you are trusting in God and you love Him, that is what matters most. Thank you for sharing and you are such a nice friend...thank you for being there for me!!!
Britt-
I was thinking about what I wrote, and praying it was ok....also thinking that if we are all honest with ourselves and each other-we will say we are NOT THERE yet. That's there's lots of stuff we have to work on with God's help.
I only know that He doesn't seem to give up on me-I can scratch my head in wonder over His faithfulness-ohh words fail me....I guess it boils down to wanting Him, and feeling I need Him more than my breath.
Hope that doesn't sound corny.
I love our friendship, Britt-we have a lot in common. I still sleep with a stuffed animal-a pelican. And I'm 57! (I'll never grow up!)
Thank you for being my friend!
Debra
Debra,
Thanks so much for your comments!! Oh, never be worried about something you wrote :) I'm glad that you told what you were feeling and didn't write something not true about yourself- that was very nice of you to be open about what you are feeling!! I often feel as though I am not as godly as I want to be. I see others much more godlier than me and I feel upset inside. I wish I had that drive to do what they do. But sometimes we have our own way of being close to God. God loves us for who we are and like you said He doesn't give up on us when we give up on ourselves. I often question God and sometimes get upset with why things have to happen and it seems so hard...but I have to remind myself that God does have a reason for why everything is happening. Oh no, nothing you wrote sounds corny!! :) Thats cool that you still sleep with stuffed animals- I think I will be sleeping with them even when I grow older :) That sounds like a cute animal- a pelican!! Thanks for being my friend too!! You are so special to me!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
How wonderful to have come by to visit today! I love the whole post but the photos are outstanding!
