Praise the Lord!
For I know that the Lord is great,
Whatever the Lord pleases, he does,
~Psalm 135: 1-7 (emphasis mine)
My soul praises God for all He is, has done, will do and is doing! What a treasure it is to know that I can cry out and know that my Abba, Father knows and hears me. His love amazes me...and baffles me. How He could ever love sinners enough to send His Son as a perfect payment for my sins makes my mind swim...His perfection ~ our wretchedness...and yet, He loves. I live to praise Him and enjoy Him forever. I cherish this gift and my heart cries for those who don't have it (and who don't even desire it). May we continue to seek the lost and share the gospel of Christ with them.
I praise God for my munchkins (as well as the blessing to homeschool them...even through the difficult days!)...
My ever-faithful sidekick, Ruthie, is always close enough for a nuzzle...
The weather doesn't quite know what it wants to do. It's super cold, then warms up a smidge....then back to cold. We get rain, we get snow. It's quite crazy...but I am so optimistic that beautiful spring weather is *right* around the corner!
One negative thing about spring is the wind that is coming with it. Yesterday, while out at our local feed store getting goat feed and layer pellets (for the chickens), my skirt blew up and um, made me look *very* immodest! Thankfully, the stores blinds were closed and no one else was outside except for a car going by (and my children laughing hysterically in the van). I was quite humiliated as I tried to gather my skirt and put it down in a hurry (and because of this warmer weather, I was *not* wearing leggings! Oh dear!!). As my face turned beet red, all I could do was get in the van and laugh at myself...oh how I hope the Lord covered the eyes of those people who drove by! Oh the embarrassment of it all!!!
Goat manure is awfully stinky...but works wonderfully as fertilizer for my raised garden beds!
Penny and Pearl went to the outside pen while I worked in their stalls...
thats very embarrassing!!!! I'm glad you survived :)
ReplyDeleteI can identify with embarrassing moments! I lol'd when you said you hoped the Lord covered the eyes of those people who drove by. =) I'm still chuckling. I live in Missouri and am impatiently waiting for spring also. It's supposed to be in the lower 60's on Thursday! I'm also looking forward to starting our garden. I didn't have a garden last year because I felt too overwhelmed with home school. I feel like I have more of a hold on it this year. =)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a neighbor lady we had who was on the ladder cleaning windows when the wind came up. We were out in our yard and I called out to her, "Don't sail away." It lightened the moment and soon all was forgotten. I love your ambitious children always doing something!
ReplyDeleteI'm plating a little garden for the first time this spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wise words and bible verses. they help my hard heart soften for the word of God.
