Colour Lovers 3KCBWDAY1

I enjoy so much reading about what others, at all levels of expertise, are making; their successes and their froggings. So when I read about this Knit and Crochet Blog Week from a link; blogging every day about an activity I never have as much time for as I would like, seemed like fun. But I have read others blogs and comparing mine that voice of doubt yelled very loudly.

I’m just gonna ‘ put my fingers in my ears, hold my nose and dive in’.
Just for the fun of it!

Colour is one of our greatest expressions of ourselves when we choose to knit or crochet, so how do you choose what colours you buy and crochet or knit with.

GOLDEN YELLOW !
Not the bright sunny shiny yellow, but the muted golden shades.
I am drawn to it.
I love knitting with golden yellow.

I love the golden yellow of sunflowers.

I don’t wear golden yellow.
I try to hide in dark shades,
blue, black brown with a little red.
My knitted shawls are white, cream, brown, and
a silky wool purple I love.

Is it time I jumped into the world of colour?

Today’s thought — By Their Fruits

Good Afternoon,

Sunday morning’s text was this scripture. The main thought being the underlined portion.

2Co 13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?  KJV

2Co 13:5  Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you–unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected? Amplified Bible

This poem by an unknown author helps me to examine myself.

We should do so much in the years to come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in a princely sum,
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and shall dry the tear,
We shall plant a hope in the place of hear,
We shall speak the words of love and cheer;
But what did we speak today?

We shall be so kind in the after while,
But what have we done today?
We shall bring to each lonely life a smile,
But what have we brought today?
We shall give the truth a far grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a much deeper worth,
We shall fee the hung’ring souls of earth;
But whom have we fed today?

We shall reap such joys in the by and by,
But what have we sown today?
We shall build us mansions up in the sky,
But what have we built today?
Oh, how sweet it is in fond dreams to bask,
But right here and now we must do our task,
Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask,
“Just what have we done today?”

Matthew 7:20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Trust God for your day. . .Today
With my prayers, desiring yours, Leslie
