By Hand Boutique

I am super excited about the By Hand Boutique! Its a way to support local artists (some of which are my very talented, personal friends) and give some one-of-a-kind gifts. I even found an inspiration for decorating my living room from one painting. Love it!

Here's the details:
By Hand Boutique- A Market of Homespun Goods

Place: Community Presbyterian Church

Time: Friday, Nov. 12 7-9pm
Saturday, Nov. 13 9am-4pm

The blog features different artists and samples of what they create, so check it out!

Come out and bring some friends!

"Remember this: you have the privilege of passing on to young hearts a knowledge of the very character of God, and that, ladies, is worth getting totally exhausted for." -Jani Ortlund.

I took this quote from a friend's facebook status to post here, because I cannot stop thinking about it. Sometimes I think about it too late, once I've already condemned my child or was easily frustrated. But it moves me to apologize.
I have been meditating on it the last couple of days. This thought motivates me when its just easier to say "No' because I don't want to play that game or I'm tempted to let that bad behavior slide.
Praise the Lord that He gently guides us and teaches us, without condemnation. May I be able to show this example.
