New Year's blessings from our family to yours!
~
"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on
unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from
dead works, and of faith toward God."
~ Hebrews 6:1, KJV
"If you have reason to hope you are ready, I
advise you to make sure. Walk more closely with God,-get nearer to
Christ,-seek to exchange hope for assurance. Seek to feel the witness of the
Spirit more closely and distinctly every year. Lay aside every weight, and
the sin that so easily besets you. Press towards the mark more earnestly.
Fight a better fight, and war a better warfare every year you live. Pray
more,-read more,-mortify self more,-love the brethren more. Oh that you may
endeavour so to grow in grace every year, that your last things may be far
more than your first, and the end of your Christian course far better than
the beginning."
~ J.C. Ryle {1816-1900}

ReplyDeleteDear Miss Kelly-Anne,
ReplyDeleteGreetings and Happy New Year from the coast of Maine. I stumbled across your sweet blog while visiting one of my friends...and I have so enjoyed my visit! I, too, love to sew, and I always love to see what projects others are working on. Thank you for sharing with your readers.
