It's A Wonderful Life When Bundled in Prayer!

Picture this: 

We are watching a colorized DVD of It's a Wonderful Life and all of the children are snuggled up in their brand new Bundled in Prayer afghans!  I promise I will  post pictures later! 

Kaitlyn's is a field of dark turquoise dotted with purple, pink and  yellow flowers with light turquoise leaves.  It is bordered with a pink and yellow ruffle. It matches her garden themed bedroom!

Jordan's matches his "map room" colors:  cream, sage green and blue.

Ian's is sort of camoflauge to match his jungle themed room:  cream and sage stripe (variegated shades of sage to forest green).

Noah has a castle room done up in black, burgandy and blue.  His afghan is a black background with a large, burgandy letter "N" and is bordered with burgandy and denim blue.

Hannah shares the garden room with Kaitlyn.  Her afghan is large squares of plum and pink bordered with a ruffle!

I even made one for the dog.  It was actually an experiment. It is a dark turquoise diamond in the center of  a light turquoise square...  just a small, doll-sized one. 

I sent afghans to some relatives this year too: 

My Dad and his wife, Russ' dad and his wife , and my good friends Ryan and Tanya each got one.  There are pictures of all of them on Bundled in Prayer.

I had an afghan that I made and sent go missing.  Actually, I have been tracking it on stamps.com and it has been bouncing back and forth from Georgia to Washington for over two months now.  I do have a mail recovery track going on for it, but I am working on a replacement for my very patient customer.  Pray that the originaly afghan finally shows up! 

Don't forget the contest on my afghan site.  I have the replacement afghan and one more and then I have nothing on the schedule...  you or a loved one could be the recipient of a FREE afghan!!! 

 I do greatly love to crochet & pray!  I believe deeply in the power of prayer...  not as a magic charm, not as a greed fulfillment hotline, not as a mantra of sorts, but as a communication with our best friend, Creator of the Universe, Savior and KING! 

How amazing to understand that we are personally invited to make our requests known to the KING! 

Can you imagine if the President gave you his personal number and told you that you are not just invited, but encouraged and even COMMANDED to call him all day long...  and to talk with him WITHOUT ceasing!  How much more should we be thrilled by PRAYER!!!!

Well, I am off to crochet and pray until the movie ends! 

Blessings to all!

Prayers for that to show up soon. The Ladybugs finally fit in those cute outfits you gave them (& they still have room LOL!). They've been wearing them today & I got a pic too; it's up on my blog. Hope all is well; thanks again!

Aww.. that sounds like a lovely time. I bet the afghans are beautiful!!
Thank you very much for your comment. I so appreciate your wisdom and love.
I know too well the influence I have on these younger children because I see myself in them. Unfortunately, its the bad horrible part of myself. It always upsets me when I do something and see it emulated in the younger children.
Thank you for sharing your heart!!
Have a great day!!
Love, Prayers and Blessings,
Amanda

Hey, thanks for visiting my blog! When I wrote the song down, switching words and all, my sis and I were just having fun.
Now, for my thoughts on the song, I would have to say girls in general give their hearts away easily. A few books that I would recommend and have found helpful on that topic are Raising Maidens of Virtue, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, and And the Bride Wore White. The maidens of virtue is more for a younger audience and the other two are for a bit of and older audience. All great books on that topic!

It's a wonderful life is a fun movie! I never had a chance to watch it this year, I'll probably watch it next year though.

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
