Hillside Laughter

I’ve decided to start a business–be it a very little business.  I’ve wanted to have my own business for a long time–maybe a bit of an unrealistic dream, but true.  I’ve been doing more and more sewing since I’ve been here in Canada.  I want to do something that still enables us to travel.  So I’m planning to start selling things on Etsy.com and I’m thinking doll clothes to start.  Doll clothes take only a small amount of fabric so my overhead is low, and if I’m lucky I can make a piece in a day.  Still not at all cost effective, but ya gotta start somewhere!  My business name is Hillside Laughter.

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
Precious Jesus, teach me to delight in you! To so fully rest in your love that fear is cast out and is replaced with the joy of your Presence. Holy Spirit, I invite you to walk with me in this day—go before me, walk behind me, hold my hand. Fill up the hollow places in my self that I may beautifully reflect your love to a broken world. Be Love in me; be Beauty; be Joy.

This morning at church, we sang a couple of verses of Charles Wesley’s “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” to the Blaenwern tune.  We finished off with two verses using the Beecher tune.  I first heard the Blaenwern tune used at a church in Garstang, England thirty plus years ago and still remember how I thought it fit the words so well. So magnificently.  So grand.
