Good Evening!
I discovered something about myself today, I discovered that I really really like JoAnn's. For those of you who aren't familiar with this wonderful place it is a fabric and craft store similar to Hobby Lobby or Ben Franklin Craft. I view it as a sort of Santa's Workshop. The ladies that work there have a sparkle in their eyes that just makes you want to smile. Then there are all the crafts that surround you as you walk in the door. There are items for baking wonderful treats, then there's the jewelry section, painting section, scrap-booking, stamping, oh and did I mention the wall of fabric? Just thinking about it makes me excited to go back. The only downside is that it all costs money. Humph.... Its still fun to look though. : ) The creative genius in me loves to come out the moment I step in a store like that, and I don't even have to buy anything. I also think that's why I love watching North Pole themed movies. (Did I mention that I get distracted easily...squirrel!) They spark within me creativity and ignite my imagination. Don't get me wrong though, they aren't the center of my universe, Christ is. However they do trigger something within the mind that God made, to think outside of the box and create things that are unique and special. What triggers your imagination? What do you suppose triggers God's imagination, after all we are created in His Image, so He has to have an imagination. : ) Take some time to enjoy the imagination that God gave you, it's special. I think I might go back to my Santa's Workshop...tomorrow.
Love,

Thanksgiving Aftershock
Good Morning!
We had quite the week last week. Handsome and I's House was bubbling with laughter, and conversation, the occasional cat napper was snoozing in the corner, books covered the coffee table, and shoes filled the area near the back door. I enjoyed every minute that we had with friends and family! The only downside was the realization Saturday night as I was about to fall asleep that I had several things on my to do list that didn't get done and should have been done. Poor Handsome, he had to listen to me for the next ten minutes go on and on about the things that I forgot to do. Its a very good thing that he loves me. : ) Its also a very good thing that we don't have a God like me. Its reassuring to know that when God gets "busy" He doesn't have moments afterward when He goes, "Shoot, I forgot to answer that prayer request. Oh, and the angels mentioned there was an issue with flooding in that area....oops." Thank You Lord for being aware of our every move and for not forgetting the little things! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and the harshness of reality setting back in hasn't thrown you too off kilter. Oh and Happy 1st day of December! (Wow!)
