On sale at a museum near you . . .

Guess what? I have some of my knitted/felted things (pictured below in a previous post) on sale at a museum near you, if you live in Newton or North Newton! How cool is that? I also have some of my wishing jars that I blogged about last summer there too. They almost sold out so I made more last night! Wow. I don't think any of my knitted things have sold yet, but I did sell two of my knitted/felted projects to friends on my own. Pretty exciting!

Also, in the time since my last post, school has ended for the holidays (woooohoooo), we hit a deer and totaled our van, we've mostly completed the process to have a new(er) van, and we've gone to lots of concerts, programs, basketball games, etc. Life is full and I am thankful for all the blessings in my life, although some days do feel like trials.

The words that have stuck with me in recent weeks were uttered during a worship service recently. They weren't the main topic or anything, but they were the ones that resonated for me and I try to repeat them, to myself and those I love . . .

Let us rejoice in the blessings we have received.

Someday at Christmas

Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
with no hungry children, no empty hands
One happy morning people will share
a world where people care

Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no man has fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not fail
hate would be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime
