Christmas Cards

Who makes their own Christmas cards? This year I decided to use my hobby and make my own Christmas cards. Little did I know that it would be this detailed and take this long. It has been a labor of love and I had no idea each one would need to be so involved. Now, before you think they are good or even close let me say they are a hobby and I just enjoy the heck out of drawing. That’s reason enough to be ok with what they look like.

I’ll just leave you with a Christmas song.

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.
