We made a couple of trips to Bill's while on holiday in Sussex, once in Lewis and once in Brighton

Holiday in Devon with our Granddaughters

We had a great day out on Andy & Amy's wedding anniversary... beginning at Avon Mill near Kingsbridge, Primrose & Maggie paddled in puddles and the bird bath with Grandpa and played with the water features.

We then went swimming at Kingsbridge pool

Followed by paddling and tea on the beach at Bigbury on Sea

Project waiting

Some time back my daughter brought some African panels back for me to use to make her a quilt, thankfully I didn't start it as last time they were home she brought these embroidered squares to add into the quilt. They have been made by local people to raise awareness of HIV/Aids. I still haven't started my son's wedding quilt ..and it won't be done in time for the wedding (5th Sept) as we are moving house 3 weeks later and are in the process of sorting and packing.The good news is that the new house which is about 60 miles from here has enough space for a sewing room!!!

'The woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary - both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.' Exodus 35:19

Moses asked people with various abilities to help with the tabernacle. Every one of God's people has been given special gifts and abilities and we are responsible to develop these and to use them for Gods glory

Compassion

I have been reading a book called Understanding Compassion by Renita Boyle & Kate Smith, this is a quote from it

'Convicted of injustice and ingratitude towards God, Israel asks,'what offering should I bring when I bow down to worship the Lord God Most High?' Micah replies, 'The Lord God has told (shown) us what is right and what He demands: "See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey you God"' (Micah 6:6, 8). We are never closer to God, never closer to keeping His commands, never closer to pure worship, never closer to our true humanity than when we are meeting the needs of the most vulnerable.'
