God Bless Our Troops

I have a funeral this morning, followed by several errands - chief among them is to find a pattern to make a very special first birthday gift for my youngest grandbaby!


I plan to do some cleaning, followed by a serious quilting session. I want to so some decluttering in the work dungeon and I have some oils to finish measuring. That should keep me out of trouble for a while.

Word of the day:
Saint Matthias, apostle - Feast
Today the Church celebrates : St Matthias, apostle, St Theodore Guerin, (1798-1856)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15:9-17.


As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another.
