Some may think this may not be a creative project, but I beg to differ with you. Ironing clothes that need to be ironed from doing laundry is a creative project. How many of you out there actually still iron your clothes? I do because there is just something about wearing clothes that do not look crumpled up with wrinkles. Take some care in yourself to present yourself as if you were standing before royalty. If you were would you not take the time and effort to present yourself in a presentable image. Well, hello, if you are a born-again believer you stand before Jesus all the time, think about that. Not just in words or deeds or actions but you yourself choose to stand right before Him. No need to discuss that anymore today.
That particular day not only did I do ironing, but I also discovered there is a certain brand which is made in the USA of decorative style scatter rugs that can be machine washed. I tested it out with a few and they turned out really nice, so I then adventured out to do another set of rugs washing. Only thing is even if you follow the dryer instructions may I suggest you still need to let them air dry a bit also. I also baked Lemon Cheesecake Crinkle cookies. I tested them a couple of times and decided I needed to portion them out in decorative bags and place them in the freezer so as to not be tempted by them. I brought some of them with me to a church in Huntsville, AL yesterday to bless the pastor's family along with a few special treats from a local chocolatier in my area. I have never been to this shop before, but it smelled simply wonderful when you walked into it. I selected their homemade popped popcorn drizzled in milk chocolate and spicy pork rinds also drizzled in milk chocolate. From what I understand both are good sellers for them. Oh, I also enclosed a brief note card handwritten thanking them for their continued kindness and a copy of the recipe also. Holy Spirit in advance of me attending this service also spoke to my heart to bring them 7.50 for them to apply towards their Honduras trip from what I understand it only costs 7.50 to feed a family for 1 week there.
It started off raining yesterday morning but by the end of the day it was sunny where I lived. So, when I go home, I prepped some fresh brussels sprouts and broccoli to make in the air fryer drizzled with seasonings and lime infused avocado oil. I also planted another tomato plant I was growing with the Aero Garden inside. It was time to transplant outdoor. Planted a few more petunias in another hanging basket and left room in the center to plant an ice plant when that arrives in the mail.
At church I sat with one of the pastor's parents, they are such a lovely couple and if they are there when I venture out to this church I try to sit with them. I asked if it was okay to use my little percussion shaker instruments and they assured me there is freedom to worship @ this church. Worship started and I must tell you this young man and young woman and 1 guitar ushers in the presence of God in a thick and strong way. See, you don't need some big band/orchestra behind you when you love Jesus and live a pure life. Worship just seems to exude from you. The pastor's mom looked at me and motioned for me to go to the altar during worship and I did just that but not before offering them to select one of the instruments for them to use during worship. God is so good and so faithful in my life, is He in yours?
After the service I was able to shop @ 2 local stores before heading back home, The Fresh Market & Whole Foods. Oh, the music I listened to on the creative project day was once again, "Never Alone" created by James W. Goll. James Goll you really need to work on another creative music/vocal project, Pretty Please with sugar on top, is that how the old saying goes. At least how I remember the saying growing up as a child.
