"It is time to seek the Lord."-Hosea 10:12
    
    This month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which signifies to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery year. Reader, if you are yet unsaved, may your heart, in accord with the universal awakening of nature, be opened to receive the Lord. Every blossoming flower warns you that it is time to seek the Lord; be not out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desires. Do you tell me that the warm blood of youth leaps in your veins? then, I entreat you, give your vigour to the Lord. It was my unspeakable happiness to be called in early youth, and I could fain praise the Lord every day for it. Salvation is priceless, let it come when it may, but oh! an early salvation has a double value in it. Young men and maidens, since you may perish ere you reach your prime, "It is time to seek the Lord." Ye who feel the first signs of decay, quicken your pace: that hollow cough, that hectic flush, are warnings which you must not trifle with; with you it is indeed time to seek the Lord. Did I observe a little grey mingled with your once luxurious tresses? Years are stealing on apace, and death is drawing nearer by hasty marches, let each return of spring arouse you to set your house in order. Dear reader, if you are now advanced in life, let me entreat and implore you to delay no longer. There is a day of grace for you now-be thankful for that, but it is a limited season and grows shorter every time that clock ticks. Here in this silent chamber, on this first night of another month, I speak to you as best I can by paper and ink, and from my inmost soul, as God's servant, I lay before you this warning, "It is time to seek the Lord." Slight not that work, it may be your last call from destruction, the final syllable from the lip of grace.

Let the FUN times Roll!



Tomorrow night is the night!!!!! YES!! My daughter and I have been waiting patiently for this night to come.  She even asked me this week when it was.  Can't believe it has been only a month since the last sew-in seems like it's been longer than that.  I know, I know we can sew any time, but just seems life takes over.  If I had a dream sewing room I probably would sew more. About 17 years ago I did have a nice little nook corner set aside and loved it and used it often.  I didn't have to worry about setting up and taking it down again.  Now I don't have that little area in this house.  Hubby tired to give me that in this house but it was in the dark musty basement.  I used it for awhile, but it got to where my sewing area kept loosing it's space to his work shop and now my sewing counter has been taken over by a computer and a TV, so much for my work space.  I don't like the dark musty basement anyway so if I sew I have to lug the stuff up stairs when I want to use it.  Motivation doesn't come easy for that chore most of the time.  I love to sew and wish it was more convenient.  All that to say we are looking forward to the Sew-in and thank Heidi and Bobbi for such a time as this every month to get motivated.  Since my daughter is so motivated we may even start early in the afternoon just because.  Stay in jammies all day, OH, YEAH that would be great!  She'd love that I'm sure.  Make a sew-in day.  I like it the more I think about it.  Guess we'll have to see how all goes.  school?  who wants to do school when you can sew.  Just have home ec all afternoon.  OK, OK this teacher has something to think about.  So what is a sew-in?  Well, head over to Heidi's @ Handmade by Heidi and check it out and join us in the fun Tomorrow night.  click here to go to the sew-in sign up page
