For many years, I have had an interest in pen paling. It began with a magazine, that had a add for those that wanted a pen pal. I think one of my earlier ones was a woman from Coos Bay, Oregon. From there, one was a young lady from Montana. It was a special time. At another time while working with native American youth, I was drawn to an organization, where one could donate or become a sponsor to those that lived on a reservation. I really enjoyed that time too. I came up with an idea to list questions about the person. Things such as favorite colors, foods, interests, etc. It gave me ideas and told me a little about them. So, as you view these simple crafts, it will tell you something about me. This year has been wacky and weird, and becoming more so. I must say that for me, it has been a year of learning and more growth, in many ways. I have definitely been quieter. Not hard for me as I tend to be on the quiet side anyway, but this has been a different kind of quiet. I have also become familiar with areas of my life, or let me say, my attitude, that has needed adjusting. I am thankful for the help I receive from on high. I am much more aware of the words that come from my mouth, and then I am quickly reminded that those words were not necessary. That’s conviction. There are many angry voices. My heart tells me to not be moved by what I hear, but to heed the voice of wisdom.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. James 3:17
