THANKFUL AND KNITTING

Our cellist and the rest of the symphony gave a performance the morning we left to see my MIL. #2 and #3 liked their matching jammies and being at Grandma's house. The trip was long but the visit was good. We have much to be thankful for.
The packaged hats/booties were mailed that Wednesday morning. The other five and whatever else I can knit or sew up will make it on Dec. 9. The Knit Unto Others KAL is officially over, but I'll be knitting for others for as long as God allows.
This year has just flown by. Tomorrow is December 1! The little tree is up on the table this year. The boys have donned their Santa hats and are making their lists of wants. We got a late start getting back home so got to enjoy the Christmas lights along the way. It only rained on and off.
Home is a very good place to be. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost homes and/or loved ones. May we all pray that we do that which is most pleasing to God Almighty in these very trying times.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and effectual and more piercing than any two edged sword and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow: and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

PSALM 37
1 A psalm for David. For a remembrance of the sabbath.
2 Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation: nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3 For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
4 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
5 For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
6 My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
7 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
8 For my loins are filled with illusions: and there is no health in my flesh.
9 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
10 Lord, all my desire is before thee: and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
11 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me: and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
12 My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off.
13 And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
14 But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
15 And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
16 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
17 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me, and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
18 For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
19 For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin.
20 But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
21 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
22 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
23 Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
