Catherine & The Cottage... Home Sweet Home...

The Quilt Maker

Loving it here in the country, busy with needle and thread, stitching away on my sewing machine or by hand with a thimble instead.

Be sure the quilt I am making is created with utmost care, and that every stitch is wrapped in love and blessed with a heartfelt prayer.

A Life Pleasing to God...

"A life pleasing to God: '...we urge you, brothers to... aspire to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.' " (1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 ESV

Mother Theresa...

People are often unreasonable and self-centred. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” ― Mother Teresa
