We have a local drop off for Conkerr Cancer pillowcases. I think I'll give it a try, I love to sew. Your grandkids really seem to be enjoying their new pillowcases. <br /><br />As for sheltering...I like to give through my digital art, sewing, blessings journals, each person is unique so whatever I can do that I know will perk up a friend, I try to do it.

Sleepness nights used to plague me also, but God has been faithful to teach me to let go of the worrisome thoughts and focus on verses that comfort and caress me. His promises never fail.<br />In my zzzzzzzzzzzzzsheltering, I find concentrating on a name for God that starts with each letter of the alphabet very helpful. I also, tuck my 'silly sock' around my neck or over my face. It's a sock filled with rice that I can heat up in the microwave. Ahhh...<br />I loved the first quote you used. :)<br />Blessings.Ruthhttp://randomlyruthful.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-19334073079002677872012-03-05T07:45:33.015-08:002012-03-05T07:45:33.015-08:00Pamela, Thank you for taking the time to visit my ...Pamela, Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and leave such kind comments.

The one from Psalms is one that I often quote - in the middle of those dark wee hours of the night.<br /><br />I used to get panicked when I couldn't sleep. Now, more often than not, I choose to be like Samuel - ie, the Lord must have me awake for some reason, so I say to Him, "Lord, here I am!"<br /><br />GOD BLESS!<br /><br />(p.s. Adorable pillowcases!)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-8747645773006321682012-03-04T09:32:36.732-08:002012-03-04T09:32:36.732-08:00Pamela, glad you received some much needed rest. ...Pamela, glad you received some much needed rest.

When I lie away, my mind wants to go to all the troubles of the day and how to fix them. But, when I consciously stop doing that and only think of what is good, and right and holy, my mind relaxes and I fall asleep! Thanks for the confirmation! Also, I've been seriously thinking about getting a sewing machine again. When my kids were little, I used to sew all the time. But, I haven't done that in years! Seeing your adorable pillow cases are just the push I needed to get out there and get a new machine!<br /><br />Blessings, Pamela!

Glad you guys had a nice time with your parents.<br /><br />I'll check out the websites that you have highlighted here today. I like the project for charity idea a lot.<br /><br />Want you to know that I have been thinking about you and "sheltering" in the aftermath of the death of our grandson's father. We are all building an even more protective circle around our boy, and sheltering him from all sides. I might not have thought of it in those terms before, but am so happy that we came across each other.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your visit today.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-22569116694796426702012-03-03T18:21:15.477-08:002012-03-03T18:21:15.477-08:00Pamela,

So happy you paid me a visit and was happy to come and check out your lovely blog. what a Special and wonderful thing that you, your daughter and grandaughter share a blog. I see that you have been thru some very deep waters, I am only too sorry to hear about your precious Sarah, but I am so happy to know you know the one and Only who has brought healing to your grieving soul. We have friends that are coming to visit next week, and they lost a 19 yr. old in a motorcycle accident many<br />many years ago, but they still grieve every year on the date. They are up in their 70's, and <br />a Pastor and wife, lovely folks,<br />with 2 other wonderful sons, and many grandchildren. They have stuck close to their Lord, and they have done very well, but they still grieve, and say that you are never quite the same, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Lord<br />has used them to help quite a number of people who have lost children.<br />Again I am so sorry for your loss,<br />and look forward to visiting with you again,<br />Blessings, NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.com
