Half Full Or Half Empty


Wishing all of my blogging friends
A Very Happy 
First Day of Spring :) 


Is my box of hexies . . .
half full or half empty?

 And which is better?

Investing what you have in a better way
or
hoarding it until it is dusty and old?


As most of you know,
we are going through a troubled time.


Many of you have been praying for us,
and for this we are truly grateful.

Thank you and please 
keep us in your prayers. 


 If my heart is broken,
I'll find God right there;
if I'm kicked in the gut,
He'll help me catch my breath.

Psalm 34:18

That is where we are at . . .
Our faith is strong and we are 
trusting in His wonderful love.

Have a sweet day!

Connie :)

  2. Oh Connie! I don't even know what to say...I am so sorry that you are dealing with so much with your wonderful, handsome husband right now. It is just heartbreaking to me. You KNOW that I am keeping you in my prayers and please keep me in the loo because I care.
    I choose to think of things as half-full because otherwise I would just not have the strength to go on sometimes. MUCH love to you- xo Diana

  14. Hello Connie and Steve. Thinking of you- hoping things turn out for the better- my thoughts and best wishes to you Folks. We're having a little rain this Autumn- humid days and cool nights. Planning my OO Scale Model Railway brings me joy - in much the same way as your needle-craft does Connie. Best Wishes. KEV. (Bradbury, NSW, AUSTRALIA).

  24. Your hexie box looks very cheerful. Life is a glass half full and abundant as far as I'm concerned! :) Keeping you both in my prayers, and sending as much healing energy as I can muster!! xxx

  25. After you showcased your hexies last blog post, I went on a search as to how to make them, with or without paper piecing. They look so fun to make! Your bright colors are so cheerful and fun.. and I think I would just love looking at the piles of them and not make anything! Of course your cup is half full.... you always have room for more love from everyone! As always you are both in my prayers.. every single day. I think remaining positive is so beneficial... and think with good intent, as I'm sure you do. Hugs to you... and will be awaiting your finished hexie project. Marilyn

    You have a beautiful blog and I see we have a lot in common and taste. Keeping you in my prayers.

  30. These are beautiful! I can remember my grandmother having doilies and table runners that she had made out of what she called 'yo-yo's' back then. They were like the hexies and made out of scraps of leftover from flour sack dresses she had made for herself and her children. I wish I had some of those doilies now. Prayers and blessings over you and your family! <3
