We won’t freeze a again..at least until Thursday..The skiers will love the snow once it clears..Would not want to be on the road in that.

[MEG33]

Time for lunch..I will see you in awhile.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

---

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duties.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Very beautiful, Meg. Picture and the scripture.

I love this, Billie.
Just because he is my President and I admire him so much.

[jaycee]

I love your buttons...wow. Especially the yellow bird. The florals are gorgeous too.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Conor, for your prayer for our
troops and Amazing Grace.

Thank you so much, jaycee. I loved working with that
beautiful scene..and scripture.
I'm glad you enjoyed the buttons, too..I found myself
exploring and enjoying looking at all different kinds
of buttons.

[jaycee]

Be back later. Meg, your thread is very nice today!

[jaycee]

I have always been fascinated by buttons. My mom sewed a lot and she had all kinds of buttons. I used to love to go into a sewing shop and they would have a wall of buttons and I could stand there all day and look at those buttons.

Thanks Meg!

[MEG33]

;o)
Are those Bakelite buttons? I did not get that far.
That is a whole collecting category on its own.

I have a lot of buttons to have never been a seamstress..some of them off of discarded blazers..some extras , some mother of pearl..and some of my mother’s.

If you like buttons..you’ll love this page..a lot of buttons!
I am getting sleepy..Time for a little nap...BBL

[jaycee]

I believe they are bakelite. There were a lot of those~~I liked the heart, the smiley and I think the one was a bow tie, if I’m not mistaken. I had another one to post but I will have to reduce it to post it.

[jaycee]

Gorgeous buttons on that site! So many! Bookmarked it!

[jaycee]

These are the rhinestone buttons. Not quite as pretty since I downsized but are nice.




Naptime here, too! I'm watching the Colts game....we are 3 ahead at the moment. Not bragging on that score.
