A lot of them have passed on to glory and I miss them. I have many, many faults but I do want to be someone who imparts love and comfort and compassion onto others, especially those of my own house (which sometimes is the hardest to do).

We never know what influence we have on the world...good or bad. With that in mind, your gentle reminder to make a conscious decision to make it a positive influence is appreciated.<br />Love,<br />Tracey<br />x0x<br />P.S.

Yes the precious women I admired and influenced me so much had little too. Little as far as wordily things but riches as far as feminine touches and welcoming smiles. Rich in love for others. Their influence was immeasurable. I got to write and thank a few but wish I had taken the time to personally tell the others how much they truly meant to me. Just being around them...as you said, they may never have even realized little eyes were watching and learning. It does take on a different thought of how are we seen to the ones who around us? We are to be light even when we are not preaching...cause the way we live is because of our values we learned from Him. As it should be. good thoughts Brenda. I loved hearing the story about Dorcis again too.

Like the one about your aunt who combined "luxury with lack"...<br /><br />I would be so happy if someone who visited our home would feel it was warm and cozy with...little touches of culture. <br /><br />Yes, we DO influence others with our everyday actions.

I made a batch of your citrus tea cookies earlier today, a lemon version, and I am under strict orders not to tweak the recipe. They are THAT good! (Is the orange version as good? I love orange flavored treats). Thanks for another great recipe.<br /><br />How's your crocheting going? I can't seem to get started on my knitting projects. I need to paint and repair dog-damage to my garden, so the knitting is on the back burner. The newest dog is a digger and a chewer, unfortunately, and she has been a bad influence on the slightly older golden retriever.<br /><br />Are you watching Upstairs-Downstairs? I'm not sure I can get into this one. <br /><br />Take care! <br /><br />D/NY<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-34601792932254740522012-10-07T13:41:24.992-04:002012-10-07T13:41:24.992-04:00I think yours is your blog, though your home is su...I think yours is your blog, though your home is surely right up there and a part of the whole. Lovely post, Brenda. It has me thinking about those special women and how they made me feel when I was in their homes. Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
