Beauty in times of saddness











I am so thankful for the wonderful gift of flowers and spring. My dad has just recently been diagnosed with bone cancer and I am having a very difficult time dealing with it. He has always been such an outdoor guy and very active. I am not focusing well on my quilting work and I apologize for being delayed in finishing some of my sweet customers' quilts. Please be patient with me again. When a sad moment hits me, I take a walk around my yard and smell the flowers. Here are just some of what helps lift my spirits.

  2. O dear, dear Viki- there is no way to deal with this other than with difficulty and profound sorrow, I feel with you and just want you to remember that we will carry you, your father and your family before God in prayer. We can not carry your sorrow for you, but Jesus will carry you in and through it.We know, Stig's father died of cancer and my father was seriously ill before he recovered.Take heart!
