Today Americans are exercising their constitutional right to vote.  It is a privilege to vote, and I hope those of you who can vote do vote.  Yet we should all remember one important thing, and that is the Lord will still rule on Wednesday morning.

The Patience of Job

Image
My husband has the patience of Job; and  when it comes to me,  I think I require a lot of patience.  Yesterday, when I went to work on my quilt, I discovered the sewing machine did not work. When I plugged in the foot pedal cord to my Bernina, it just would not move the machine.  I had some trouble with this in the past, but if I jiggled the cord, it would usually go.  I worked at for about five minutes, and then I got my husband.  He can fix anything!  He came into the room, and he tried, and nothing happened, so he said, "Let's just take it the Bernina store and get it fixed."   So, off we went with foot pedal and book about my particular Bernina machine in tow.  We live in the country and everything is at least 30 or more minutes away from us.  We arrive at the store and the gal plugs my foot pedal into one of the machines there, and it worked perfectly.  I felt pretty silly, but my husband thought that meant the machine its...

An Addendum to Yesterday's Post

Image
                                      Dear Reader, There is one book that I forgot to add yesterday.  If you enjoy history, then you will enjoy Silent Night by Stanley Weintraub.  It is the true account of one Christmas Eve during World War I when the soldiers on both sides took a holiday.  They stopped fighting and had a truce. It began when German soldiers had Christmas trees and put small candles on them, and the British, French, and Belgian troops serenaded each other, and even the German troops joined in.  As the solemness of Christmas broke out among them, they broke bread, exchanged small gifts and stopped the awful war for one brief moment in time.  When the angry superiors ordered them to shoot each other, they shot their guns in the air instead.  The soldiers had...
