The Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt - Week 5

Week Five kicked off on the 26th of October and we had only the two blocks to sew:

Block 41 - Granny

"Another Grandmother" spoke of the importance of prayer.  Sometimes we find ourselves feeling "useless" and it is often during these times of distress that we turn to Jehovah God in prayer.  Jehovah listens to us and He gives us the strength to endure.  

• 2 Corinthians 12:10  For when I am weak, then I am powerful.  
• Philippians 4:13 For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power. 
• Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the tired one And full might to those lacking strength.

Block 45 - Jenny

"I Learned to Play" - according to Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4: “For everything there is an appointed time, . . . a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to wail and a time to skip about.” 

A healthy dose of recreation is essential to reduce stress and to manage a well balanced life. If we don't, there can be physical and/or emotional health consequences.  You should aim to set aside time each day for an activity that you enjoy, such as walking, craft or listening to music. Or, allow yourself to unwind after a hectic day by reading, sewing/crafting or taking a nice hot bath.
