Proverbs 16:32   He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Proverbs 19:11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Your heart is breaking, you say, with your troubles.  It needs more breaking; for,  if it was broken,  the trouble would not break it.  Where our selfishness and our self-will come in,  there our sorrows begin.  What is wanted is not the removal of trouble,  but the conquest of self.  -  Charles Spurgeon

My Great-Grandmother made me this quilt. That would make it around 50 years old. I remember looking at the soft little bunnies. I also remember not liking the *patchwork* side of it. It was rough and the colors were not pretty. I'm pretty sure it was made out of  men's suit pants and jackets. I have been to a few quilt fairs in Houston. So you KNOW they were fantastic affairs! Hundreds and hundreds of quilts on display. They are works of art. The *quilters* win trophies, medals, honors. I know they put a lot of work into them. AND, lots of money.   The fabric is purchased brand new...... and if you have priced fabric for quilts, you know the  finished product is pricey. When I think of quilts, I think of the way they used to be made. From scraps...... That's the way I like to make quilts. from scraps.....fabric from my own sewing room If you have a thought on quilts....and scraps.....

Lydia has Fast Braces appointments in Sugarland, Texas 7-9 weeks apart.  I missed the last one, but took full advantage of this one!  We met with friends and the girls got to go skating....we ate pizza....then had the appointment. It felt SO good to be in the *rink* area, it was pleasantly COLD.  Did you skate as a child?  On the sidewalk? At a rink? In your frozen back yard?  I never learned how to skate....I'm amazed at anybunny that can......

If you have the delightful chance  to pick some fruit from a citrus tree  and you're not sure what it is... ...A lime tree is bushy,  a lemon is tall and tree like.   The leaves on a lime tree  smell like a lime when you crush them.   Lemon tree leaves have no smell.   I so wish we would have bought a couple of fruit trees when we first moved here over 20 years ago. They would be fully mature now.... and fruity.
