Today’s Challenge – A Labour of Love

Today’s challenge has been to help my daughter sort her seed beads, as the lids came off when she dropped them. It took us about two hours to sort all of the different colours, but she is so happy that they are once again sorted. Methinks that I need to buy her some more containers with screw-top lids, so that we don’t have to do that again. We used tweezers to pick up the individual colours, and I guess that you could call it a labour of love.

At the moment, we have a very dear friend, Gwenda staying with us from Tumby Bay, and she is a real pearl in God’s kingdom. This afternoon while my daughter and I were sorting beads, Gwenda was making greeting cards, and she finishes them to perfection – they are absolutely beautiful.

During the next week, it will be pretty hit and miss as to whether I actually get my blog posts done, but I’ll be here when I can get the time to post. Gwenda usually looks after her aunty and goes to Jolly Days, where she helps out, and is a real asset to the district of Tumby Bay. We shall enjoy the time that we have together, ’cause we love her LOTS!

NOT Making the Bed

Brrr – it was soooo cold here this morning, but my cat, Jeremiah is not stupid. He had his head on my pillow and was snuggled up next to me, and when I tried to arise, he was not happy, so I placed the continental quilt gently over him, and he settled down to sleep once again.

This poses a problem, for my nanna always told me that I should have my bed made and dishes done first thing in the morning, and whatever doesn’t get done after that won’t matter, but the dishes need to be done and the beds made. Am I going to shift my cat – no way, and there aren’t any spoilt cats in this house, either. Mind you, I might make the bed around him – I’ve done that before today!

The Talking Centipede

I received this email from a friend today, and I thought that it was too good not to share – I hope that you enjoy it, too.
THE TALKING CENTIPEDE

A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.

So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house.

He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.

So he asked the centipede in the box,”Would you like to go to church with me today? We will have a good time.”

But there was no answer from his new pet..

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again,”How about going to church with me and receive blessings?”

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.

So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.

The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.

This time he put his face up against the centipede’s house and shouted,”HEY IN THERE! WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO CHURCH WITH ME TODAY AND LEARN ABOUT GOD?”

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS …

This time, a little voice came out of the box,”I heard you the first time! I’m putting on my shoes!”
