"Bluestone Inspiration" Necklace




This cute little authentic blue with white speckles Leland Bluestone has been found in Lake Michigan and now dangles as an inspirational beaded necklace. I have drilled a 2.1 mm hole into the stone and dangled it from a Faith, Hope, Love, silver word charm onto a 24 inch stainless steel petite ball chain complete with tiny clam clasp.

Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #11

by Angie Ouellette-Tower for http://www.godsgrowinggarden.com/ photo WeeklyTitle_zps5l1xvjx6.jpg


#11 - Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report

If you were following this blog in 2015 then you will be familiar with my "365 Days of Being Thankful" challenge.  I have missed reporting on my thankfulness since I finished my challenge back in November so I decided to at least give a weekly Thankfulness Report & include a Growth Report also.  Growth in our Christian walk, growth in the garden & growth on this blog.  Finally, I am also including a "Posts From the Past" feature - ENJOY!


by Angie Ouellette-Tower for http://www.godsgrowinggarden.com/ photo WeeklyT_zpstrtwftz3.jpg
This week I have been thankful for God's comfort.  I have also been thankful for a fantastic trip to the Art Museum with my dear cousin & for rainy days.

"Do not be deceived:  God cannot be mocked.  A man reaps what he sows.  The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction;  the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."  Galatians 6:7 & 8
What are you sowing in your own life?
Read: Reap What You Sow

Our new potato patch is half planted and the other seed potatoes still need a few more days of sprouting.  It is also time to plant parsnips, carrots, kale & other cool weather loving greens.
