It's Getting Cold...Time for Warming Families

Hi Everyone! I just want to share a tiny bit of my work for charity.
I don't do as much as I would like to, but at least one or two boxes is sent
every year to warm needy people in the winter.
If you have never used your craft to help others, don't miss out on it! You don't know
the great satisfaction you have been missing.
























If you are interested in contributing to Warming Families, you can find them on the net.
The chapter I contribute to is in Oregon, manned by Linda Estill, who is a very sweet lady.
If you would like to contact her, here's her webside:

"The only condition in the matter of having God's guidance is that we let Him guide. He cannot lead us unless we follow. We must choose to let Him guide, or He cannot do it." Mrs. C. O. Hall.

Is Your Little Hut on Fire?

When Your Hut's On Fire. . ."

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him.
Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to fund his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up towards the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost.
He was stunned with disbelief, grief and anger.
He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he was awakened
by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him!"
How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal,! they replied.
Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground, it may just
be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.




I've been doing beading crochet lately and enjoying it more than in the past. Choose a size of bead that will be "comfortable" for your thread size, or the bead will droop downward and sort of dance in the thread, a good size bead for crochet ·10 is Size 6, also size "E" beads.
I have been using some of those and they are easier to thread than the tiny Delicas.
