Makin' Presents

Okay -- I'm loving the gift I'm making for the DH (Steph's 2010 gift, an ABC crop on his qualities). And I'm hoping and praying that it was God who inspired it, and that it will touch him deep inside.


But WHY do I have to spend like 5 hours on each page?! Sure, I have done some LOs that I've worked on for days and others for several hours, but not each and every one in a series. Nuh-uh. Happily, PTL, I'm 1/3 done.

You know Philippians 4:8? -- that's one of those LOs which took days for me to do:

Well, I've adopted it as my verse for this season in our marriage (not a bad one for the whole thing either ;-> ). This gift project has been a great way for me to focus on the positive, so even if it doesn't do anything really for him, it's helping me a ton. And yet, those words which are not praiseworthy or admirable and fit the DH keep coming to mind. Glad I can remember to choose not to dwell on them. Instead I go back to my list of good things. And you know what? I keep finding more :)

P.S. I still wouldn't mind if these LOs took less time per page/letter! LOL
