Happy happy spring to everyone! I just love this time of year but then most of us
do! Our last PW meeting was chock-full of “spring” from the cheerful daffodils on
the tables to the yummy and clever brunch of chicken salad served in fresh melon
rings with homemade fruit tarts. Many thanks to Naomia and Marjorie for hostessing
this month.
This was our birthday offering meeting which was collected and dedicated, followed
by our business meeting and then we adjourned. Plans were made for the Spring Gathering
for Saturday, May 7th with ladies from all over the Kendall PW attending.
Noodle machines were discussed, padded chairs were discussed and subsequently purchased,
and the Honorary Life Membership recipient was selected.
We asked Cynthia to be a guest speaker at our meeting hoping she would show us some
of her quilts. All I can say is...WOW! Cynthia brought 20 quilts and mentioned that
she had several more at a shop in Arizona. Cynthia’s degree is in clothing and textiles
and art is very obvious in her work. Each quilt holds not only a story, but is a
beautiful treasure for the eyes to behold. She touched on several points of each
quilt from goofs she re-vamped to come up with a new design; to her very first quilt;
to one her daughter created.
In closing, my wish for everyone today would be to stop, take a very deep breath,
put on a smile, look upward, and boldly thank God for today, for the ability to
take that breath, to smile, and that you have another day to enjoy the endless gifts
God has given you. Please do you, your family and God a big favor, praise Him! Praise
Him today, He yearns to have you turn to Him in all times, not just times of need.
Or as the old cliche’ goes, Stop and smell the roses.
In His Service, Teri
