Showers Of Blessing

We have to regularly check our stock of provisions in rainy season. Due to heavy moisture in he air, they get spoiled easily. so we clean them and keep it in the sun. My mother placed some Jowar (Sorghum)which I use for making rotis (bread) as well as for feeding birds. But she forgot to bring it inside in the evening. It rained heavily during next two days. None of us remembered the Jowar. On the third day I saw the container full of water. So I drained them and threw it in a corner in my garden thinking that birds may eat it. But next day I was happy to see this:

They started germinating. And then the next day:

Most of the seeds have germinated.

See the seeds are still clinging to the leaves. You can also see the rain drops glistening ... How such a big plant is stored inside such a small seed....Isn't God great? If this is not a miracle then what is?

I remember the popular hymn. I love this hymn a lot.

There shall be showers of blessing 

This is a promise of love 

There shall be seasons refreshing 

Sent from the Saviour above. 

Showers of blessing 

Showers of blessing we need 

Mercy drops round us are falling 

But for the showers we plead. 

There shall be showers of blessing 

Precious reviving again 

Over the hills and the valleys 

Sound of abandons of rain. 

Showers of blessing 

Showers of blessing we need 

Mercy drops round us are falling 

But for the showers we plead. 

There shall be showers of blessing 

Oh, but today they might fall 

Now as to God reconfesing 

Now as on Jesus we call. 

Showers of blessing 

Showers of blessing we need 

Mercy drops round us are falling 

But for the showers we plead...

Well have a good day.....

Red Crystal Necklaces

Here are two pieces I made from Red Crystals. For that you need:

Red Crystals

Gold plated discs

Gold plated nuts( small thin discs)

Clasps (I have used chain and hook type)

Pendant

String or wire

These crystals are sold string wise either 60 or 100 per string and cost depends on this. This is smallest size and known as cut crystals as the surface has many facets. The light falling on these facets is reflected and gives it a shine. The difference between these crystals and ordinary (uncut ones) is that these look more like made of some precious stones due to their shiny surfaces. There also bigger ones and also transparent and opaque. These are available in rainbow colours. So choose according to your taste and colour preference.

The first one is very simple and does not have any pendant.

I have first stringed a gold disc then red crystal again gold disc so on till I finished with the crystals. Then I have finished off by adding the clasp.

You can add the discs one for every two or three or five beads or more than one gold disc between the beads depending on your taste and choice. it is better to string in a few crystals and gold discs in different combinations to see which one you like and then finally go for the design. You can also use gold beads, stone studded discs or beads according to your choice. 

The second one I have added a simple pendant. Also I have used gold plated nuts between the beads. Near the pendant and in between I used five discs to give it a bit of rich look. Then I finished it off with adding the clasp.

Both these designs I have kept simple so that it can be worn daily or even to work. So try it out...
