Fingerprint Friday

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of god
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of god
And I know its true
Youre a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of god
So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them? Here's how to join in.

1. Blog with your interpretation of God's fingerprints.
2. After you've posted your blog, sign the Mr. Linky. Have fun exploring the other links as well! Please only sign in if you're participating. Hopefully this will make us look at things through fresh eyes throughout the week!



This is my first spinning attempt. See an earlier post about this wool I received recently.
I'm so excited that I could turn something so raw into something like this. And what does this have to do with God? He was the lamb afterall. :-)

Happy Dance



I seriously can't remember the last time I was this excited about something. Seriously!

Thanks to Facebook, I am back in touch with several friends from my past. One by the name of Nancy. Now, Nancy and I didn't run in the same circles during our high school years. In fact, if you had asked me then I would have told you that Nancy and I probably didn't have anything in common except for the fact we were in the same grade. She likely would have said the same.

Fast forward to 20+ years later, and we are friends via friends on Facebook. Through this I discovered that Nancy and her husband Ken own/run a farm for Icelandic sheep. Interesting to me as a knitter as I've always wondered about spinning my own yarn. This is the part where I realize that there are no accidents in life. :-)



Today, a box arrived from Nancy. A glorious box of goodies that have me full of glee. I haven't got a clue where to start, or what I am doing, but for now I am a child on Christmas morning.



And can I just say how huge this bag of fleece is? I guess I didn't realize exactly how much I was getting. Nancy told me, but in my mind it was A LOT smaller. Don't get me wrong....I'm thrilled it's more than I assumed it would be! And, might I add, that I'm finding that Nancy and I have more in common than I ever would have expected. I rather like her, and probably would have in high school also. Just goes to show that sometimes we need to give others a chance...let them into our lives without letting assumptions get in the way.

Thank you, Nancy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
