A Noisy Gong

Do you ever need this reminder? Sometimes I feel like I'm just a clangling cymbal. I don't always have the patience or kindness I need.  This is from I Corinthians 13 and has been continually coming back to my mind this week. True love is a hard thing to live out, but I hope you are as challenged as I am by reading this.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
 
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 Love never ends.

Treasured: World Traveler

                

These photos are in honor of traveling in the summer. I think I may be slightly addicted to traveling.

There is so much in the world to truly enjoy and experience. My advice for the day: Don't EVER pass up an opportunity to visit a new place. Don't let fear of flying or fear of what may happen keep you from experiencing new cultures and meeting new people.

Have a happy Thursday!

A quilt?!

I have all these friends that are making adorable quilts. I used to think that quilting was really old-fashioned or something that you reserved for your 60s. But with all these cute quilts going around, I thought maybe I should try my hand at one. I found some awesome vintage fabric that was my grandmothers. My colors are all shades of blue. Currently, I'm working on cutting out about 128 4 inch squares. I threw a bunch of material in the washing machine to get it clean and ready to go. Here is little peak at my progress!  

These are some of my favorite materials in the quilt 

I can't wait to see how it turns out. My goal is to have it done by the end of June. Think I can do it?
