A Few More Mittens on the Line!

May 13, 2018

I spent a few rainy afternoons last week knitting mittens and then just couldn’t resist hanging them out on a line once the sunshine broke through the clouds! I’ve been gravitating towards brighter colours lately and am literally finding new excitement as I create each mitten. The bright pinks, purples and yellows are so inspiring. Spring has finally arrived and we can all come out of hibernation! As we enjoy springs arrival, mitten production at CommuKNITy Cares is not ...

Humble steps back down

May 10, 2018

I continue to grow in my faith each time I follow what I like to call “nudges” that I receive from the Holy Spirit. I’ve been feeling another one of those nudges these past few months. He brought to my attention a bitterness that has been lingering deep within me. A ...

There’s HOPE in that box!

April 19, 2018

What if? I’ve often wondered what my life would have been like if I was born into different circumstances. Would it look like it does today? I have pondered that for many hours and have come to the realization that I was born into the exact circumstances that God chose for me to be born ...

March 28, 2018

Sunday April 15, 2001 was the first church service I ever attended and it just so happened to be an Easter Sunday service! I’ve often said there couldn’t be a better day to be introduced to the church. I sat amongst a joyous crowd that morning as we celebrated Christ’s ...

That one statement alone, “You can have it all” fills many of us with hope and anticipation of what may lie ahead. Think about it, it actually started the moment we were brought into this world. Our parents looked at our newborn selves and began to dream of what we might become one ...

I used to count sheep…

February 24, 2018

Can’t sleep? I’ve been there too! I guess that is one of the many joys of being in my fifties. All of a sudden I find myself wide awake in the middle of the night! I’ve tried many remedies like counting sheep, drinking a glass of warm milk or reading a book, but none of ...

I crochet… and I PRAY!

February 18, 2018

How do I pray? I don’t know what to say . Is there anyone out there that has felt the same hesitation towards their prayer time? My first introduction to prayer was the Lord’s Prayer. I’m thankful for my early school years where in our classrooms we began each day by singing ...

Fix Your Eyes Above

February 7, 2018

I have yet another learning experience to share with you today! A good sign that I’m tired and may have piled too much into my schedule is that I tend to get irritable and don’t understand why others don’t see things my way. I admit I can get inpatient, moody and quite ...
