As I write... Monday Morning
The weather.... Beautiful! Sunny and warm
Right now I am... focusing on worship, praise, prayer and thanksgiving.
Thinking... I'm looking forward to my birthday on Friday. I'm meeting co-op friends at the park to picnic and to let our kids "socialize". I wonder what this year will bring.

“Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing.... Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. It turns out I was throwing it away.”
― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

Her faith is weak friends. Remember the paralytic whose friends lowered him down through the roof in front of Jesus. Please pray.
Father God, I pray that each reader will know the love of God in a very real and personal way. I ask that Holy Spirit speak, teach, and comfort each reader. Bring salvation and healing through your son Jesus the Christ. I pray that you will be glorified in their lives. I ask all in Jesus' Name. I plead the blood of Jesus over every reader and their loved ones! Amen.
Please say hello.

Happy Monday from the farm here....where things are busy in many ways. Wanted to share our baby ducklings who are beginning to get some white feathers onboard, the first climbing rose in bloom and peonies ready to pop....all done with no help from this old woman farmer....but touched with the hand of the creator. xo
