"Don't wish me happiness I don't expect to be happy all the time....It's gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all." Anne Morrow Lindbergh

My help!




I wove this very small tapestry which measures 8 inches wide by 7 inches high from embroidery floss and thread while living on the west coast. When I walked the beaches I saw mountains and when they were snow covered in a sunrise they were spectacular. They reminded me to look -up to Him and that encouraged me. No matter what was overwhelming me - He was bigger. There are no mountains here but I am blessed with their memory and I have this tapestry to remind me of this Psalm.

    Beautiful. I find comfort in having words like that surround me to remind me, as well. I just wish I were as creative as you.

    Kim - I don’t know that I’m that creative. Your creative to in a different way and I enjoy reading your blog to see how you express it. I’ve been weaving tapestry for many years and this tapestry reflects where I was about a year ago and as I continue to work and improve I know that what I will be weaving in the future will be improved upon. There is always room for learning and growth for me. The weaving like God is a central part of my life and I like to share that here in the hopes that someone like minded finds hope and interest in what I share.

    Thank-you. It is the dark days and the flawed tapestries that have taught me so much. I am grateful to them for that.

      Hi Marilyn At times it is hard for us to understand His love isn’t it? The more time I spend in scripture and in nature the more clearly I see it.

    Linda I will pray for you and your husband. I have a lot of issue’s here that could be overwhelming- I haven’t written about them yet but in time I will. I am so happy you found this Psalm meaningful enough to write down. I have them all over my cottage and I change them up at times to. God is good - He has given us so many promises.
