Driving home from a visit with my sister, my daughter called and asked if I wanted to come over one day later in the week and make Bible tassels. Not really sure what she was talking about but never missing an opportunity to spend time with her, I agreed. We decided to get together at her house on the following Friday, discussed what we would eat and who would participate. We didn’t think the men would be interested but decided it might be something my mom would also enjoy.

Usually I ask a ton of questions and then research what I am expected to do so that I can be prepared. I didn’t even google it this time. Not exactly sure why, I didn’t even think about it. Trusted my daughter would not judge me if I wasn’t able to do what was required and just rolled with it. Surprised myself. We chatted on the phone Friday morning and confirmed the details. I didn’t need to bring anything…she had it all ready.

When we arrived, the craft supplies were on the table and she explained what each was for and then started us on our projects. We each selected our beginning yarn, ribbons, lace and got started cutting our selections to the desired length. We then selected a charm and some beads to finish the tassels. I had a blast. It had been a long time since I had spent time crafting. My daughter did an excellent job in selecting, supplying and leading us through the process. She took me out of my comfort zone and did so with grace.

Once we finished (pictures below), she fed our bodies with delicious food and we had great discussions around the table. We completed the evening by watching funny videos. My mind, body and soul were filled…a perfect evening!
