"from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together
by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper
working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body
for the building up of itself in love."
Ephesians 4:16
With the passing of four generations of babies,
held and comforted in the chair's strong arms
and squishy cushions, it became shabby and sad
looking. Until, toward the twilight years of it's usefulness,
a Master Upholsterer saw the value and beauty in the
tired old chair and restored the fabric of its being,
timelessly hidden, but deeply etched within its frame.

great -grandchildren. Tender, true-life stories tell of a beloved old chair, exhilarating sailing adventures, whimsical garden friends, and her personal acquaintance with a butterfly named Alice. The loss of her husband and oldest daughter shook her faith in soul searching stories in her blog. She has written and taught women's Bible studies - illustrating them with imaginative art. Current residence is an expandable R.V. encircled by a dense pine forest in Washington state. Vim and vigor, and faith describe her,
"for the building up of itself in love." Ephesians 4:16
