If they claim to be Christians, learn of him, they should emulate him, - improve themselves and ask forgiveness WHEN<i> (not if)</i> they fail.<br />
<br />
My picture<i> (and I'm sure other folks have</i> similar<i> view)</i> has always been turned around- because I knew my earthly father before I knew my Heavenly Father, I thought that He was altogether like him. How wrong was my thinking!<br />
<br />
Our Heavenly Father is Trustworthy. Kind. Honest.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMCLCdp4wA79dfG9mXhsKB7jHpuP-ycAKI1-1e01OPC2lzk0eRjMdaHtWHe0GAYRg04sSvZTlWvrcBK5SOtFvfv2XJSS12LCPvw693amonWZMyI5KNC6yeiH2vwyjbFx2A9MXNg/s1600/18+a.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1532" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMCLCdp4wA79dfG9mXhsKB7jHpuP-ycAKI1-1e01OPC2lzk0eRjMdaHtWHe0GAYRg04sSvZTlWvrcBK5SOtFvfv2XJSS12LCPvw693amonWZMyI5KNC6yeiH2vwyjbFx2A9MXNg/s400/18+a.jpg" width="382" /></a><p>An earthly father is supposed to be a little picture or likeness or if you will, of our Heavenly Father. Unforgettably, a lot of them fall short. So short they give all fathers a bad name.<br />
<br />
<br />
I NEVER wanted to "marry Daddy when I grow up" like other little girls. And when I grew up, I knew I did not want to marry a man like him, either.<br />
<br />
I'd like to marry a man more like God- Truthful, honest, caring for his family. <br />
<br />
<br />
"God <i>is</i> not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do <i>it</i>? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Numbers 23:19</p><p>

Pickles are fun, and they aid digestion. It's one thing that everyone misses, and no one donates, because it's not a "staple". Just be sure to bring enough they can actually be served.</p><p>~ Salsa, hot sauces, BBQ sauce! Just like in a home setting it jazzes up "boring" food...LOL!</p><p>~ Eggs, raw.... =)</p><p>~ Flavored Creamer, and Half & Half for coffee....comfort when you can't go home.</p><p>~ Home-baked treats. Lots of places get donations from local grocery stores, but everyone goes crazy for home-baked!</p><p>~ Vitamins like: Vit. C & Magnesium </p><p>~ Lotion! Especially NEUTRAL scents that men & women can both enjoy. What sizes? Large pumps for common areas as well as <u>non-pumps</u> in "smaller" more personal sizes.</p><p>~Lip balm <i>(for guys and girls),</i> small packs of Wipes, pocket Tissue packs.</p><p>~ Good or decent quality nail clippers, tweezers.</p><p>~ NAIL BRUSHES! And buffers/files.</p><p>~ Hair Brushes & Picks & good combs. <i>(you know not just the "10-for-a-dollar" kind)</i></p><p>~ Dental floss.</p><p>~ Body wash- I would say bar soap while most often donated is rarely used, because folks do not have a good place or way to keep bar soap. Again: especially NEUTRAL scents that men & women can both enjoy.</p><p>~ Under things. New/gently used, and in all sizes. Don't just bring piles of socks...ask the shelter what they need. Also, consider something like an "Angel Tree"/adopt a sister or brother kind of thing: ask if anyone there <i>(especially a female guest)</i> what they need, and what size--you can make someone's month or even year!</p><p>~ Depend type products. </p><p>~ Laundry soaps. Guests who wash off-site like Powder or Pods. <i>(stain removing products too)</i></p><p>~ Sewing kits. Safety pins- especially LARGE sturdy quilting size. <i>(to easily take up clothes)</i> </p><p>~ Cross-body bags & backpacks in a variety of sizes.</p><p>~ Note pads & post-its.</p><p>~ Card games. </p><p>~ Sometimes even a TV would be appreciated. <i>(but you should ask first...)</i></p><p>~ Colored pencils and grown-up friendly coloring books are enjoyed too... </p><p>Fall/Winter donations?</p><p>~ Warm coats for men and women...especially for the folks who walk to work. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgndzus0TLArIFfuXly0SGcbbLwxup3zOAAX7LOSC7ryExx-_YIg6UhePgqHC-zt8DWH6KpSKRhG1r_VqlYReGfo9WwkI7VBbwCzhNRg6jwgzjmPj-1du2cXrVSQgXWCldaw2l02w/s1600/heart.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgndzus0TLArIFfuXly0SGcbbLwxup3zOAAX7LOSC7ryExx-_YIg6UhePgqHC-zt8DWH6KpSKRhG1r_VqlYReGfo9WwkI7VBbwCzhNRg6jwgzjmPj-1du2cXrVSQgXWCldaw2l02w/w400-h266/heart.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These were just a few thoughts...I hope it helps. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #001320; text-align: justify;">"Giving thanks always for all things </span></span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #001320; text-align: justify;">unto God and the Father </span></span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #001320; text-align: justify;">in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.." </span></span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #001320;">Ephesians 5:20</span></span></b></i></div>McKee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04322089251373714467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28451394.post-46166381057669970672021-11-12T19:04:00.001-06:002021-11-12T19:04:34.302-06:00"God is my --" bannerI wrote these out on index cards, and colored the gold ones and Mom colored the white.

~The fabric is a calico- not quite sure where I bought it. I intended to sew a long sleeve pepulim blouse, BUT when I went to make the "sloper"/"Muslen", the pattern ran small, and the blouse was too small....I gave it up, and a few years later I happily sewed a new dress instead!<br />
<i>~No Zipper- I never had SO much trouble- I pulled it out 2 times, before I ended up with a simple key-hole! I felt cross-eyed!</i><br />
~I used my go-to
pattern, the retired Simplicity #8071 =)<br />

<br />
This dress fabric is from Aunt Laura <i>(who BTW, says she's no longer my Aunt- what do you make of that???)</i> - She wanted me to sew it with 1) elbow sleeves, 2) elastic waist, and she wanted 3) the sleeves to have a contrasting white cuff and the waist to be white as well....But the more I thought about it, the more my mind said "You'll look like you are dressed like a waitress or a maid"...not that that would be a problem, it's just that I wanted a nicer dress, not a costume this time around. So I left off the contrasting fabric...although, I'm thinking about designing a "belt" that could be buttoned on...<br />

<br />
~The fabric is <i>a
“Brother-Sister” from Hobby Lobby.</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
~I used my go-to
pattern, the retired Simplicity #8071 =) <br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">~POCKETS! I gave this dress 2 full-sized pockets...I LOVE them. I forgot how nice REAL packets are!<br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">~The sleeves on this pattern are on the slim side- always have been- even when I was young and thin, the sleeves were uncomfortable, so in making this dress, I added to the width and length for a better fit.<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia", "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">~The
zipper is a invisible zipper, set in the back. Afterthought: I wish I'd
placed it in the side, because of the fabric print...oh well. </span></span><br />
~And I
lengthened the bodice 2.5 inches, so I could have a waist. <br />
~I added 3 casings to the inside, and ran 1/2" elastic-
I was careful to not stitch the elastic into the zipper, so that if I
wished I could take it up, let it out, or redo it. <br />
~Because I made
this dress with sleeves, I added an extra inch of fabric to each
shoulder BACK, and pleated it to make it match the front bodice.
<i>(but I did not pinch out any pleats- just let the elastic take
care of that)</i><br />
