So I've been staying close to home.
I did take my mother to the Salvation Army this morning, and I didn't feel my usual resentment at being there.
Thinking of the seriousness of the situation at hand, I guess. Praying, for real. Feeling very emotional. I found myself being ok with being there. It was somehow soothing, even to a skeptic like me.
I hemmed these 8 dish towels that I took off the loom the other day, and rethreaded the loom for more.
I wove one towel, and then took Roy boy for a walk.
Walking and weaving, they both make me feel better.
I count on it.
Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. ~Frederick Buechner

Your new towels are very different that your usual bright colors. I like them, very rich looking.
Glad you were able to find comfort in church today, that is nice.

I love the closing line. So true and for some strange reason, quite comforting. I'm glad you can turn to God when you need to. Hugs, Deb
I love the closing line. Yes, walking with Roy had to be comforting. I hope for peace for your family member, and for those of you who are waiting.
Just letting you know that I'll keep your Family in my thoughts today.
Take care.

If only saying not to be afraid really worked. This is a difficult thing to do.
What Kate the Country Girl said. tenfold.
The three words most often said in the Bible - Be not afraid!
Obviously, people need to be reminded ALOT - in every generation!
Praying for you and yours.
Hope everything turns out ok.
Love the new towels you are weaving!
