"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.

Tinker finds a HOME



Today is my day for the Blog Hop YEAH!!!!  Tinker Bell and her Friends are so excited about this blog hop...


First I'd like to thank Madame Samm @ Sew we Quilt for providing us with these fun blog hops.  I'm so glad I found her site.   And so glad for our cheerleader for this blog hop who kept us all on task, Mary @ I Piece 2-Mary

So you ask how does Tinkerbell and her friends have any thing to do with birds and bird stuff..  Well, they fly is about all until I came across this cool tutorial video @ cool2craft and then I knew what I needed to make my daughter, who is a Tinker fan, for her fairy collection that was setting on her dresser. 

So I got together my supplies and went to work.

these I had to buy

rounded up some other supplies on hand
Are you ready for this? .... Finished Project


This is another way Tinker and Birds have something in common.  Well, at least in my daughter's world of fairies. 

Views from all sides of Tinker's garden...





as mentioned earlier in post I got this idea from a tutorial video you may visit here to view the video

New added this at 10AM
here is the lucky recipient of Tinker's Home....

my lil' girl...yep she graduated from homeschool this year.  She's a  die-hard Tinker fan.
