if we stand long enough during this walk, we can see how much our influence on others truly is
waiting for my husband to be out of surgery, I could have waited with my crochet hook and yarn quietly in the corner.........but rather chose to engage in a conversation with an elderly woman....we both had two things in common......crochet and our husbands in surgery
we with our lives ahead of us......theirs with much more wisdom and knowledge and experience....and gratitude
her telling me of a yarn shop nearby that I didn't even know was there....
peace + thankful blessings,
(pants on Daniel were made by me as well.....)
Thankful wishes that you met someone new - had peaceful moments during a stressful time - shared your creativity and are sharing it with us! Jennifer jennsthreegraces
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, your hat is gorgeous!! Those little pants are adorable on Daniel....wish I had someone teeny to wear a pair:). I am sure that you are one of those that truly bless people around you....just by being in the room! What a treasure to share friendship and calming words in a time of stress.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a joyous Thanksgiving!

I wish I knew how to knit lovely hats and I wish even more that I looked as lovely as you in them.
ReplyDeletePraying that your husband is okay and has a quick recovery and also peace for you during this time of caregiving.
Here's hoping and praying your husband recuperates quickly. The hat is so cute, and little Daniel even cuter. Oh my.
ReplyDeleteDear Anne Marie... ending Healing Prayers your way for your DH... I know how difficult it is having to wait for a Loved One to get out of Surgery... and then Heal... may you too have Peace and Strength during this difficult time. The little one is growing up so very fast!

ReplyDeletethese are the moments when God reaches out in unexpected ways...you both needed each other just at that moment...so happy you met a sweet new friend. xoxox HUGS
I've yet to walk away from an encounter with a stranger and not find myself somehow blessed.
ReplyDeleteDear Anne Marie,

Dear Anne Marie,
ReplyDeletewe all wish Jason a full and quick recovery. Problems with his back I think.
I really hope he will get well soon.
And what about you?How are you? I think you are having a very stressful time... I am always so admired by you..you do so many things (and I mean, you are raising 6 children "meanwhile" :-) and always have the right words and disposition at the right time.
I love thos pants Daniel is wearing in the pic!! I see he wants to walk, ah! Just like Giovanni....ah those 2 little ones!!
Hugs,
Fra
