It seems like yesterday…

The birth of a child is a life changing experience.  For me, I have been blessed three times.  God states, “ before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;(Jeremiah 1:5). Even though many children born today are not “planned”, God knew exactly when you would arrive.  He has such a wonderful plan for your life “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and  a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you” declares the Lord “ and will bring you back from captivity”.  (Jeremiah 29:11-14a).  Take time to enjoy a quiet moment and ask the Lord how he can use you today.  Reflect on being a mom and the gift you have been given.

This outfit is for a longtime friend whose little boy is just 3 weeks younger than Chance.  His birthday will be July 14.  She saw my pictures and requested an outfit in the same material with just different lettering.  I hope it will be a cherished item in his closet, an item that will not make its way to a rummage sale in years to come. However, I hope it will be put away when it is outgrown and maybe one day, a grandchild will be able to put it upon his body.  The great circle of life.  If we are blessed to see our children have children of their own as they mature into adults.  I hope you enjoyed this blog, it was more of an awakening instead of just about sewing.  May your troubles be less, your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door!
