Mothering, knitting and the love of God



 
I've been pondering on motherhood...
the almost indescribable beauty of it.
All of it...the overwhelming joy,
the miracle of life itself...
this carrying of a gift from God right inside our very being.
 
 
Right from the beginning....
the planning,
the thoughts,
and the forming.
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body,
you knit me together in my mother's womb"
(psalms 139:13)
 
 
 
You adore us,
You hold us tight,
You took such care in creating us.
You knit us,
you knit us...you knit us together
 in our mother's womb.
 

You hold us together,
and then you allow us,
as mother's
to hold our own in our own womb's,
and then ,
f o r e v e r
hold our children in our hearts.
Thank you Father for such a gift.
 
 
 

Mother's Day Blessings
to each of you!
I thank God for the wonderful, dear mother he gave me.
I love her so!!!


 

I am  l o v i n g  knitting
and think of Him while I do.
I knit before the face of God.
 
 
 
In knitter's language...
I finally know and have a "stash"
Lol
This is my stash....
(my collection of yarns)
I knit mostly in the round but don't mind straight needles too.
It's relaxing,
it's soothing,
it's simple,
and it's a way of getting quiet,
and joining God
in the "knitting together".
 
 
I've made quite a few treasures already..
this is my latest finished work.
A summer tank top
 
 
Love, love, love
how the edges roll
;)
 
Knitting together
a summer top for my daughter...
;)
Her favourite colour is purple
(just like me when I was a little girl)
 
 
I'm my Father's daughter..
I so love to knit.
His knitting brings life.
I pray mine brings joy.
 
And I love being a "mother".
It's all I've ever dreamed of.

More projects on the go...
but
shhhh...
they're for Christmas.
 
Love you all!
Have a lovely day
and thanks so much for your visits with me here.
 
All my heart,
