"Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth."-Song of Solomon 1:2
    
    For several days we have been dwelling upon the Saviour's passion, and for some little time to come we shall linger there. In beginning a new month, let us seek the same desires after our Lord as those which glowed in the heart of the elect spouse. See how she leaps at once to Him; there are no prefatory words; she does not even mention His name; she is in the heart of her theme at once, for she speaks of Him who was the only Him in the world to her. How bold is her love! it was much condescension which permitted the weeping penitent to anoint His feet with spikenard-it was rich love which allowed the gentle Mary to sit at His feet and learn of Him-but here, love, strong, fervent love, aspires to higher tokens of regard, and closer signs of fellowship. Esther trembled in the presence of Ahasuerus, but the spouse in joyful liberty of perfect love knows no fear. If we have received the same free spirit, we also may ask the like. By kisses we suppose to be intended those varied manifestations of affection by which the believer is made to enjoy the love of Jesus. The kiss of reconciliation we enjoyed at our conversion, and it was sweet as honey dropping from the comb. The kiss of acceptance is still warm on our brow, as we know that He hath accepted our persons and our works through rich grace. The kiss of daily, present communion, is that which we pant after to be repeated day after day, till it is changed into the kiss of reception, which removes the soul from earth, and the kiss of consummation which fills it with the joy of heaven. Faith is our walk, but fellowship sensibly felt is our rest. Faith is the road, but communion with Jesus is the well from which the pilgrim drinks. O lover of our souls, be not strange to us; let the lips of Thy blessing meet the lips of our asking; let the lips of Thy fulness touch the lips of our need, and straightway the kiss will be effected.

Sew Excited

Handmade by Heidi

Last night was the Oct. FridayNight Sew-In with Heidi and Bobbie before I saw you what I got accomplished I thought I'd give you a sneak preview at my yummy goodies that I got for my daughter's senior quilt.  I am sew excited to see this come together.  Hopefully, I'll get started on it next week.  Before I show you the material I'll show you the pattern.....





It is called Just Flutterin'  and I don't remember what site I downloaded it from; it has been so long.  I'm going to revise it just a tish bit as I'm going to make the big butterflies (there are 6-two in each color) all the same color.  The pattern calls for a two-tone 1/2 solid 1/2 print.  You can kind of see it on the top page, but the bottom page of the pattern is little better picture of it.

And now for the fabric i chose...it is sew bright and cheery.....




There are about four different print type groups...








I'm sew in love with these fabrics.  I can't wait to see how this all comes out.   And now for a peak at what I accomplished last night in sew-in.  I got a few hours in.  I'm done with the "x's" we are working on the outlining so you can't see much of what was accomplished but here are the before and after pictures....
