a DOILY... as Unique as a SNOWFLAKE

     .~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Aren't handcrafted doilies so lovely to look at, appreciate and collect? They are indeed as unique as snowflakes are.

To hold an old antique needle crafted piece from long ago

is an honor. It is a link to a person from the past who spent time

creating, anticipating, and producing a piece that

has passed through time to our hands.

Some what like an Author,

an Artist or an Illustrator,

or a Composer....

Some one who has left a part of themselves behind

Next time you hold a doily in your hand

try to remember or imagine the hands that made it...

Next time you look at a Snowflake

try to remember or imagine the Hands that formed it...

Before the mountains were brought  forth,

or ever thou hadst formed the earth

and the world, even from everlasting

to everlasting, thou art GOD 

                                         Psalm 90:2

..~.~.~.~..

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise

to the small rain,and to the great rain of his strength.

                                                     Job 37:6

..~.~.~.~..

For the rain cometh down,

and the snow from heaven, and returneth

not hither, but watereth the earth,

and maketh it bring forth and bud,

that it may give seed to the sower,

and bread to the eater

                      Isaiah 55:10

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2
