I have quite a few more Mother’s Day Cards to make!

 

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

I thought I was done with Mother’s Day Cards…I’m Not!

I will probably have a few more to make…I am involved in 2 groups

of wonderful women, from my church!

My Women’s Bible Study Group, we meet every Tuesday Afternoon.

We meet, take prayer requests and pray, discuss our study, then watch

a video to get us going for the following week! Very uplifting!

 I also meet with a Group of Women from

a couple of churches in the area, we get together every Thursday Evening

to knit and crochet and socialize and they we take prayers requests,

and we pray for each others needs.

God has Blessed me with these Wonderful Women!

I am keeping myself busy…that’s a good thing.

 

Until the next Post…Blessings to you ALL!
