Missing My Daughters!

I LOVE my daughters! Now that I live in another state, not the same one they live in, I really miss them SO much! We have wonderful memories and I plan on having more, but today I am missing them a lot! I am listening to a tune that reminds me of our kitchen on Chukar, drinking wine and maybe a tear or two for me. I love you two!!! Soon I will see you but today it is not soon enough!

Here's to Life, Here's to Love, Here's to YOU!!

Why a Green Thread?

Some 40 years ago, or more, there arose a dispute between my sister and my brother-in-law over a certain piece of fabric. Was it gray, or was it green? I don't remember who argued which way, but in the end, my peacemaking sister pointed to the cloth and explained, "Look--it has a green thread in it!"

From then on, we were finding "a green thread" in every piece of fabric we saw. It had become a family joke.

As time went on, and the concept of going green came along, it occurred to me that our family had been green all along, recycling, repurposing, reusing all we could, more out of necessity than social conscience. So today I see that there is a metaphorical green thread running through our family.

It goes beyond using what you have, which we do. It's more than just finding pleasure in making old things new. It's making sure everything in your home has a purpose. You see, holding on to something you no longer need is wastefulness. So it's really about respecting God's provision. And look for a green thread in everything.
