new calling

ok, the last post should be labeled cruise. This is about my new calling. I've been called as Relief Society President in my ward. I got the call the day after we got home from our cruise. I'm sure glad it wasn't before. After the first couple weeks things settled down a bit, but now I've got lots of new assignments so anticipate being a lot busier. I wondered why me. My feeling is that I have experienced a lot of trials in the last 30 years and that I may have something to offer the sisters in these trying times we are heading into. I did a food order for a family that was blending two families and was able to sympathize because I've been there. It helped them to know I understood the challenges of ex-spouse problems, etc. So I'm still quilting and that was a concern of th sisters in my ward that are in our little church group. But we are going strong and they are making cute christmas table runners. I have decided that I would have to cut down some on my quilting, so have narrowed my quilting down to my absolute responsibilities. Then if I have time for something else, I'll be happy.

Well that kind of brings me up to date. I appreciate all my quilting friends who have been so supportive of me and have confidence that I can do this. Thanks you guys are great.
