Sunday Morning

"...make it your ambition to lead a quiet life:

You should mind your own business & work with your hands...."

1 Thessalonians 4:11

I really like these words that Paul spoke to the Thessalonians.  I think the world would be a better place if people would follow them.  I know when he says to "work with your hands" that he is referring to working to provide for your needs so you do not have to depend on others, but I kind of like to think of it in a crafting sort of way.  Such goes the train of thought for a crafter ... lol!

I will certainly be working with my hands today.  I have laundry to do & I'll be making a turkey for dinner.  A turkey breast actually ... neither John nor I like dark meat.  When we lived in Florida we were friends with a couple who only liked the dark meat.  It worked well when we would get together to celebrate Thanksgiving   : )   I'll also be packing up the food processor I recently purchased so I can return it to the store.  It not only doesn't do a very good job as far as shredding goes (it totally pulverizes things into a fairy dust consistency instead), it is very flimsy.  When I bought it I had wrapped up my old hand grater & put it in the yard sale box.  I got it back out yesterday after trying to shred some parmesan cheese & had John shred it for me.  Turned out beautifully.  He will be my food processor from now on   : )

I'll also be working more with my "doll pattern from hell" project.  I'm almost to the point where I can grunge her up & put her in the oven.  I will fantasize that I am putting the pattern designer in there ... lol!  Oh, wait a minute ... that's not a very Christian thought for a Sunday morning, is it?  Okay, I won't engage in that fantasy   : )

Heaven knows there's no lack of things I can do here to keep my hands busy.  It's going to be another too-hot day so going outside is not an option.  I'll take a break now & then to check the blog postings.  Maybe I'll even look up cities on Weather.com to see where it's cooler today & fantasize about living there ... a much better fantasy than visualizing that pattern designer closed up in my oven   : )
