Mother's Day

What a blessing are our mothers!
A few things they teach us:

"Be completely  humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with on another in love"

Ephesians 4:2

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

1 John 3:18

"...the joy of the Lord is your strength."

Nehemiah 8:10

I hope you have a blessed Mother's Day!

Please Pray...

Some dear friends of ours need prayer. The family is going through a terrible shock. Mrs. S's father was killed in a car accident yesterday. The whole family is devastated. Please pray for them.

2 Corinthians 1:3-11

God Bless you all,

Our Garden

We just finished planting our garden a few days ago! I had so much fun digging in the dirt! ; )  My herbs will also be planted soon! Here are some pictures:

making sure our rows are straight

I guess he can't wait for the veggie's to come up!

beautiful brown dirt

Warm sun + Soft dirt = FUN!

a lovely pepper plant

warm sun + soft dirt also = messy face!

TOMATOES

(I can't wait to see fresh, home-grown tomatoes again!)

Hope you enjoyed a little peek into our garden!

A Powerful Little Poem

Lord, let me do the little things

Which may fall to my lot;

Those little inconspicuous ones

By others soon forgot.

If, like the Master, I can give

Myself for those I love,

Rich joy and peace shall come to me,

Sweet rest in heaven above.

I know not when the day shall close;

But when life's curfew rings,

I want my Lord to find me then

Still doing little things.

-Unknown

This is my prayer. Hope you have a blessed Sunday!

Of Goslings and Chicks

Our new gosling...

...soon after it was born.

Friends.

He's a sweet little fellow that loves the water!

It is so funny to see them swimming together!

With special thanks to the Tractor Supply Co. we now have 9 chicks!

We bought some simply labeled "pullets", two Bantams and Road Island Reds.

Tuckered out.

LOL! A bee flew threw the chicken wire at the top of the brooder. 

This little bantam held his ground!

As I was watching each of these different species I was reminded of God's handy work in each of his creatures. I thank the Lord for this amazing blessing!

Hooray!!! : D

In addition to our dog, cat, chicken and duckling, we now have a gosling! He (or she) was born yesterday afternoon! lol, we have quite a farm over here! ; )  Pictures coming soon!
