Friday's Fact . . . or Fiction

When i learned how to KNIT

   

I Forgot how to Cook! 

       

(author unknown . . for obvious reasons!)

it's funny how some people seem to think that knitters are obsessed . . clearly they just don't understand - - and even more sadly, it's obvious that "they" are not knitters themselves!  But i will graciously conceded that this new 'high fiber diet' of mine has often hindered my culinary skills . . .

just one more row and then i'll go stir the rice

(which has long since boiled over & burnt,

and is now stuck forEVER to the bottom of the pan) . . .

when i get all of this ripped out i'll go grab something to eat . . ..

i'm not really hungry right now, i'm reading the new

Vogue Knitting/Interweave Knit/Knitting Daily website/Ravelry, etc., etc., etc. . . . .

i'd prefer something in a liquid form . .

it's easier to keep knitting

and not loose my place when i can

sip my dinner through a straw

okay, i guess i will concede that my domesticity has suffered a bit of a set back with all my knitting endeavors . . but i've never considered myself a gourmet cook, so in some ways i'm saving the world from some really unsavory dishes.  i don't ever want the to be remembered as Aunt Bee with her kerosene cucumbers! 

But despite the intense 'connection' i have may now with my knitting -  this relocation from kitchen to cashmere - there are some things i can NEVER forget:

*Be Joyful ALWAYS

*Pray continually

*Give thanks in all circumstances (for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus)

*Worrying is pointless . . .

 . . . "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 

                    you cannot do this very little thing,

                                   why do you worry about the rest?"

Do you see that?  God seems to think that adding an hour to my day is a little thing . . and yet it's something that i have NEVER been able to do!  How many times have i wished i could have 'redone' a certain situation . . or perhaps NOT said a certain something . . . or maybe remembered to share one last kind word or hug with a certain someone . . . but in all these 50 years i have not been able to REWIND or FAST FORWARD . . .   therefore, i will learn to simply rest in His unfailing love . . to allow Him to continue knitting me together in a pattern that reflects all that He has designed for me . . He NEVER forgets!
