"How good is God to me Though he denies me wealth He gives me still a greater gift The precious gift of health My health I would devote To spread his praise abroad And would my youthful powers employ To love and serve my God". Sarah stitched this piece when she was 12 years old.
If you have not noticed I love stitching borders. What is better than one done with holly. Christmas is about giving.. this would be a great gift!
Merry Christmas

"Teach me to feel another's woe To hide the fault I see That mercy I to others show That mercy show to me."
