I Can Do All Things…

For about an hour to an hour and a half each day, my daughter has been working on her Peter Rabbit longstitch (with supervision, of course), but the best thing about this is that we have worked out how to longstitch together, and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. My daughter has learned a new skill, and I think that you’ll have to agree, Peter Rabbit’s looking pretty impressive!

All that remains is to put his whiskers on, his mouth and work the background. The results with longstitch are very quick, and my daughter and I have enjoyed the “special” time spent together learning this new craft.

Oh, how we limit our God when we doubt ourselves and our abilities! Our God is an awesome God, and we can do all things through Him.

   Hi Jo,
   Thank you – my daughter is VERY pleased with her ability to be able to tackle new crafts.

   I am so pleased that we were able to work out how to do it, and that God gave me the courage to be able to tackle it in the first place.

   Have a wonderful and blessed week,
   Love Jillian ♥
