When I posted about ‘homemade dresses’ in the past, several people commented that they too had mothers who made their dresses. My mother was the 4-H sewing leader who taught many local girls how to sew. One of those local girls stopped Mother on the street in Pratt years later to thank her for her training. She thrilled Mother by describing the beautiful things she had made, remembering the lessons she had learned in those 4H classes.
2 Timothy 3:2-5 “For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

For some it is their kids or their grandchildren or even their spouse or significant other. It could also be the satisfaction of a job well done or promotion at your place of employment. Those are all great things and should bring us lots of joy to our lives.
