Sonia Parham 2017</h6>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This holiday we celebrate those who have gone on before us. As I thought on the day, as scripture came to my attention.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<b>John 15:13</b> — Jesus said to His disciples, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (ESV).</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
I think we can all agree, there is someone in our family who has given their life, made sacrifices for our freedom.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
But we also need to remember the One who gave His life for mankind as a whole. Jesus Christ. He gave His life so that we may be spiritually free.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span class="bible-item-title-wrap"><strong>Romans 5:8 -</strong> </span>but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.</div>

My friend Rita and I spent last Friday on the Spring Fling Shop Hop here in Arkansas. We left Paris at 8:30 a.m and arrived back in Paris around 9:30 p.m. The day was filled with beautiful quilts, laughter, and blessings from God during the travel. Seriously, there were openings in traffic that could only be a God thing, especially when we got turned around.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Each shop displayed a quilt they made using and Exclusive Arkansas Focus fabric and a special background print by Quilting Treasures Fabrics exclusively for the shop hop. The quilts are shown in each set of pictures for each shop. I've included a link to each shop's website as well.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "Noto Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Our first stop was in Huntington, AR at Momma's Log House.

We left Fort Smith and drove northwest to Siloam Springs, AR; where Sager Creek Quilts & Yarnworks is located. Again, a great quilt shop to visit. I would have loved to spend more time here and to explore the town. <a data-mce-href="http://www.sagercreekquilts.com" href="http://www.sagercreekquilts.com/" style="color: #00aadc;" target="_blank">www.sagercreekquilts.com</a></div>

It was time for lunch and when we asked for places to eat, we were told about Hawg City Grill. We found it and had a delicious lunch. The prices were good and you get a lot of food.</div>

Working our way up to Sulphur Springs, AR, we found the Quilt Corner situated across from the Sulphur Springs city park. This shop has a great assortment of fabrics to choose from.

From Sulphur Springs, we dropped down south, a little, to Pea Ridge, AR. There were two shops for us to visit in this town. I'll start with Country House Quilting. You can find them on Facebook. <a data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/CountryHouseQuilting/" href="https://www.facebook.com/CountryHouseQuilting/" style="color: #00aadc;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/CountryHouseQuilting/</a> This shop had a lot going on from voting on quilts made in a class to quilt giveaways coming up in the near future.</div>

We are getting close to the end of the shops to visit and got caught in "after work" traffic, as we got close to our next stop. Sew In Heaven in Fayetteville, AR. I hate to say it, but we rushed in and out of this shop, as it was after 5:00 p.m. and we had until 6:00 p.m to get to the last shop, several miles away. From what I could see though, this shop has a lot to offer. You can check it out at <a data-mce-href="http://www.sewinheaven.com" href="http://www.sewinheaven.com/" style="color: #00aadc;" target="_blank">www.sewinheaven.com</a></div>

Last but definitely not least was the Lonesome Pine Quilts shops. This charming shop is located outside of city limits near Elkins, AR. I have to brag on this stop. The ladies who run this shop were gracious enough to stay open after 6:00 p.m for us and they have a lot to offer! One of the first things you notice as you walk in is a beautiful vintage Ford pickup filled with batting and quilts. If you're ever in the Elkins, AR area, check this shop out. You will not be disappointed. <a data-mce-href="http://www.lonesomepinequilts.com" href="http://www.lonesomepinequilts.com/" style="color: #00aadc;" target="_blank">www.lonesomepinequilts.com</a></div>

Hi, almost seven years and 764 blogs ago I started my blog on blogger. I've met a lot of great people here, and read just as many awesome blogs. I started a blog on WordPress where I have two pages, one for poetry and one for everything else.<br />
<br />
I want to thank you all for following my blog here and I hope you continue to follow my blog on WordPress. <br />
<br />
You can find me at <a href="https://sonia67bones.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">https://sonia67bones.wordpress.com/</a><br />

Hope to see you there!<br />

My husband was outside, so I went out to check on him. It was a good morning to be out. He was weeding the two raised beds we use for the vegetable garden. It is in the early stage and not a lot is growing yet but I was able to get a picture of new tomatoes, Swiss chard and green onions that have come up.<br />

I can't afford to pull the carpet up and put down tile at this time but I'm tired of the battle between carpet and threads, pins, etc. So I bought two packs of the foam tiles and laid them down on top of the carpet. This will make clean up easier and will be more comfy for my morning exercise routine.<br />

<br />
There were several edge pieces left over.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx10-QssZKfh3qK3a6hsESnSRhySKp-fqmrBcLj-WBrZpPWq6C2U0cWX7TQO6wTL5g0tfuyox54PXJ0E8LReVde6Ia_3e9x09kcWrCU1re9lCZdiqpH63sRlBUVYiTNRf6-atE0kOcVNzN/s1600/P4280021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx10-QssZKfh3qK3a6hsESnSRhySKp-fqmrBcLj-WBrZpPWq6C2U0cWX7TQO6wTL5g0tfuyox54PXJ0E8LReVde6Ia_3e9x09kcWrCU1re9lCZdiqpH63sRlBUVYiTNRf6-atE0kOcVNzN/s400/P4280021.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So I set them out in a pattern, flipped them over and duck taped the backside, then took an X-Acto knife and very carefully trimmed the edges to the best of my ability... <br />

It measures 12.25" x 22".<br />

Have you ever been laughed at?<br />
<br />
How did it make you feel?<br />
<br />
How did you react?<br />
<br />
My heart went out to a friend of mine, who recently experienced this situation. They were being told of another person's ill health. The person is suffering from cancer and is terminal. My friend responded that they would pray for that suffering individual. As they walked away, they heard laughter and someone saying "they are going to pray for him", laughing out loud as if it was a ludicrous thing, praying for the sick,<br />
<br />
After hearing this, I was compelled to write what I have learned in my walk with the Lord about scoffers. I believe every believer will face being scoffed or laughed at, at one time or another, if they are truly trusting and trying to live their life for God.<br />
<br />
My first thought went to Job. Remember how he suffered and was mocked?<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Job 21:14-15 (NIV) Yet they say to God, 'Leave us alone! We have no desire to know Your ways. Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? What would we gain by praying to Him?'</li>
</ul>
Or perhaps a scripture in the book of Psalms fits it better.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Psalm 73:11 (NIV) They say, "How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?"</li>
</ul>
I can only imagine what my friend felt at the moment upon hearing the laughter. I'm sure questions started going through their mind. Questions like "Are they laughing at me, questioning my faith?", "Are they really that insensitive?", or maybe "Are they that angry at God?". <br />
<br />
My friend continued on their way after hearing that scoffing statement. <br />
<br />
It's a natural instinct, for a lot of people, to turn around and tell the person laughing exactly what they think about their rude behavior. Then there are others who wouldn't waste their breath on them again if they had too. Needless to say a scoffer does not make very many "brownie points" with people.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, how should we respond to scoffers?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Psalm 1:1-4 (NIV) Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither - whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.</li>
</ul>
In 1 Peter it tells us to live good lives among the unbelievers.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 Peter 2:15 (NIV) For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.</li>
<li>1 Peter 2:21-23 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps. "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth." When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, he entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.</li>
</ul>
These verses tell me that we should "turn the other cheek" so to speak. <br />
<br />
Give it to God and carry on. <br />
<br />
Keep on living for God to the best of your ability, and last but not least, pray for the offender so that they might learn to walk in the light.<br />
<br />

Boy, the day has just flown by. I was busy with homework this morning, then after lunch I did a little more organizing in my sewing room. <br />
<br />
I took things that were on my cutting table and made a place for them up on the wall for storage when not in use.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA5QBpSJHRSuuuXBMdtdiBSqXn8tS-Z-GNEJh1bTkBVHHxL2BlQTGU9Zi9sY1ZPakRpqZBMnjnC6mBLUjdXUtInJMefCvcmLBnpSxVRegKOs2wvAXZGFNFX3s8NmR4tj6bA_m126X955_Q/s1600/P4260001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA5QBpSJHRSuuuXBMdtdiBSqXn8tS-Z-GNEJh1bTkBVHHxL2BlQTGU9Zi9sY1ZPakRpqZBMnjnC6mBLUjdXUtInJMefCvcmLBnpSxVRegKOs2wvAXZGFNFX3s8NmR4tj6bA_m126X955_Q/s640/P4260001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I organized my fabric cabinet, mostly the bottom section next to the batting.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg1u7nlbfHjvWWyNs1ErJLu7raDVwzCnnV2mvJX6TI2LTxg48NKmqKXTftVYiMeGt4L_hMwvZSnqsNfbW5ysiVog3VGiYGKO_COlEVHj1_7LHSWeaPJ1Pulhgu21cPIejIeLJYJBIH_l7s/s1600/P4260004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg1u7nlbfHjvWWyNs1ErJLu7raDVwzCnnV2mvJX6TI2LTxg48NKmqKXTftVYiMeGt4L_hMwvZSnqsNfbW5ysiVog3VGiYGKO_COlEVHj1_7LHSWeaPJ1Pulhgu21cPIejIeLJYJBIH_l7s/s640/P4260004.JPG" width="480" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I worked on my crochet/yarn area. I was able to organize the top of this yard dresser by moving items to the window sill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I took a break and did my Bible study. I finished Romans and am now studying Acts. I got to tell you, the Apostle Peter sure could preach, not backing down from those who opposed what he was teaching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="372" src="http://newlife.id.au/wp-content/uploads/peter-preaching.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">from http://newlife.id.au/bible-study-notes/the-apostle-peter/</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, then I sat at my sewing machine. I finished the last "Gift Box" I needed for the quilt guild. Then I started chain piecing some charm squares I found in my organizing endeavor earlier.</div>

I finally went through my fabric stash and started picking out colors for the quilt I'm making for my and David's bed. This is a start. <br />
<br />

I've decided to use the monthly block patterns from my quilt guild meetings. I have two others I need to catch up on, a Rail Fence and a Card Trick block, but here is the first one.The blue one is for my quilt and the brown block will go into a kit to be sold at our annual quilt show this Fall. This block is called Gift Boxes.<br />

I've seen all types of reminders that today is earth day, everything from Snoopy reminding us, promotions to care for land surrounding us and even new blooms in my garden.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's even a scripture that points to caring for the earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Genesis 2:15 ~ And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My dwarf blue spruce is showing new growth and more of my irises bloomed today. I even zoomed in on our first rose buds, on one of the climbing rose bushes.</div>

There was also a reminder to re-purpose an existing item. </div>

I needed a cushion for a chair in my sewing room and yesterday I found a flour sack. So I took a foam piece, about 18" square, and cut it down for the seat and the back piece. Then with the feed sack, wrong side showing, I marked where to sew to tuck the seat cushion in, and stitched it in from the sides, enough to cinch in but allow the seat cushion to be put in or out. Then turned it right side out and stuffed the foam pieces to form the cushion.</div>

I want to be able to wash it when needed, so I just used two large safety pins on the back to snug it up around the back piece and close it up at the top. That way I can take the foam pieces out when it needs cleaning.</div>

As I drove home tonight,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What did I see? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The big bright moon, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Staring down at me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peeking between the clouds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And shining so bright, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if to say,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will be alright.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You see me through the clouds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now trust and believe,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That all, is as it should be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember the One,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who put me in the sky, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He always has you in His sight.</div>

Hi, hope your day went well.<br />
<br />
I started my day with planting another ivy that was rooted over the winter. I found the pink square pot at Savers in Fort Smith and thought it would do well in this wooden basket.<br />

<span id="goog_778610229"></span><span id="goog_778610230"></span>I try to stay organized most of the time but I think I must be a clutter bug at heart. My desk in my sewing room has been like this for a week or so and I've been doing my bible study at my sewing table. <br />

Have a great day!<br />

<br />
Got a little stressed today and thought about using the anti-stress kit as shown above, but I didn't want to add a headache to it.<br />
<br />
I knew that if I didn't do something, the stress would do me in and make the rest of my day a bummer.<br />
<br />
So I went to my sewing room and opened my Bible.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNX9bJ4qyfREkZLk_sLoc0umOXOnMcfKwC7SxwcMDs8GODlSavdklca3nOV0fgbo2vrwv5dbdvAEo8Np6iTytpp7VCQSRC69jRc3wfsSOxjHKwUHyMTx6L3ya5Ku3EZgn9Kha6PA8upDj/s1600/Look+Up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNX9bJ4qyfREkZLk_sLoc0umOXOnMcfKwC7SxwcMDs8GODlSavdklca3nOV0fgbo2vrwv5dbdvAEo8Np6iTytpp7VCQSRC69jRc3wfsSOxjHKwUHyMTx6L3ya5Ku3EZgn9Kha6PA8upDj/s200/Look+Up.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
God gave me hands for work. So, I went through my books and jewelry and got rid of old, wore out or broken items and then organized the rest. <br />
<br />
Then I took one of my favorite sweaters that had a hole at the elbow on one sleeve and patched it up. I had some flannel fabric that matched the buttons. I will use it here at home when I get chilly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was then feeling less stressed and remembered my husband had brought home donuts and that something sweet or chocolaty is always a tasty bonus when I'm stressed. Yes I'm having one now with a cappuccino.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiWEM0SWe3cMPI0BUu1ExSRjnGjeYkOPYjVkGn13vNxec_DFdqMgZTUewsD-bluozDCyqPgHezjC7phom6zZBTf0Cjbbkp4y5nWePnc8iyu5viOyG479H2Dogpa6TzzUxyzMHGiBz4RDP0/s1600/P4130005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiWEM0SWe3cMPI0BUu1ExSRjnGjeYkOPYjVkGn13vNxec_DFdqMgZTUewsD-bluozDCyqPgHezjC7phom6zZBTf0Cjbbkp4y5nWePnc8iyu5viOyG479H2Dogpa6TzzUxyzMHGiBz4RDP0/s320/P4130005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And when I taste something so yummy and think about the blessings I have, I realize shouldn't be stressed and that maybe I'm making a mountain out of molehill, subconsciously. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwYnCQlcmfGFhPQQHJkJiBzRKEY9Ww0WZkpyKtwWvQOvwwkd0QBiOdE0BeXtQcprg1NmUzJVjD_Erj5zI8CVstdlAqITv5S1FR5B3yhRn6W2JmABd6FuGrtU1LoKDVdpVT5ejbqBW05Nha/s1600/humid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwYnCQlcmfGFhPQQHJkJiBzRKEY9Ww0WZkpyKtwWvQOvwwkd0QBiOdE0BeXtQcprg1NmUzJVjD_Erj5zI8CVstdlAqITv5S1FR5B3yhRn6W2JmABd6FuGrtU1LoKDVdpVT5ejbqBW05Nha/s200/humid.jpg" width="200" /></a>However, in the future I need to skip this last yummy step to dealing with stress, as I am having to ride my exercise bike and do a full body stretch workout each day to try to get rid of few pounds(or more) I've put on.<br />
<br />
So, if you're feeling a little stressed, take to it God, get busy and if you feel the need for chocolate, go ahead and have chocolate too and remember, you're too blessed to be stressed.<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

Hi, while driving to Fort Smith this afternoon I thought of a few pictures I've taken in the last week. The rains have brought on new growth and animal activity.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Black birds enjoying a springtime bath.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Thinking of the pictures, made me think of how life can be when you trust God to lead your life and follow His will. Each day is a new beginning. I was also inspired by a Bible verse I read yesterday.<br />
<br />
<i>Psalm 16:11 (KJV) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.</i><br />
<br />

These pictures depict one of the simple pleasures of life ~ enjoying God's beautiful creation.<br />
