30 Days of Thankfulness, Day #20 Life is Fragile

20 Nov

Life is fragile. I know this from experience. How in a moment this life can be changed forever. The call came early. I could hear the kids talking and moving upstairs. Way too early for them to moving yet. I became concerned. A friend Eric, who had just been here on the farm visiting, had been in a bad car accident. He is fighting for his life. And the kids get in the car, on an icy day and head to CT. I breathe deep Ancient Words and promises given to a people created and love by God. I run to truth and stand on solid rock. The way of worry and fear not happening. I am grateful ... View Post

Happy Birthday to You!

11 Jun

He's miles away and celebrating his 19th birthday. It's his first birthday away from home. He's had fire watch and been up since 2. Being a Marine leaves little time for celebrations. He's already called. It's nice to be able to communicate. Technology can be a blessing. He arrived into this world fast and furious. 11 minutes from the time we entered the hospital until we held him in our arms. He hasn't stopped since.  Energetic. The happiest of children. Inquisitive. Self directed. He would play for hours by himself. He made roads through out my lawn; hauling load after ... View Post

Warm Weather, Rain and A Roof; A Miracle

13 Jan

They move like a well oiled machine. You can hear their bantering. A sing song like chatter. Moving. Quickly. A miracle. The rain pours down. They work; unphased. It has been a little over 2 and half months since our barns blew down in a windstorm. These months have been harsh weather wise. Snow, wind, sleet and freezing temperatures have impeded progress on rebuilding.  Builders in our area have been swamped. Help - just not available. Yet we persevered with the help we had and pole by pole began the rebuilding process. Our coffee buddy, busy with his own farm and ... View Post

It’s Turning; Changing

7 Sep

The weather is changing. Turning. I can feel it in the air. A thin crispness, that wasn't there before. Summer turning to Fall. The change is there. I am not ready for the seasons to turn! I feel like I haven't had summer. I have allowed way too many things to crowd our days and schedule. Things I thought were good for the kids. Yet here we are. The College Girl is back at school, the Dancer Girl  begins her High School career. And I'm exhausted. Why and how does this happen? How do I allow myself to turn the Ordained into Stress. How do I create days with no margin? When will ... View Post

Spring Will Find A Way

4 Apr

  My weary soul finds solace. Work. Each day. Digging to find. The love that Christ freely gave. Purposing. To find. The hope. The joy. The storms rage. Each step fraught with trials. Yet my soul. My soul rejoices.  I breathe in the deep comfort of a loving Savior. I let the spirit wash over. The landscape crisp and white. The sun shimmers in the crystal wonderland. The brilliance of a snowstorm delights. The rolling hills of this farm flow like a blanket. I will never tire of this view. When the ache is raw. When life falls apart all around you. Grab hold of ... View Post

Election Day! Day #8 of Thankfulness

8 Nov

Here it is Election Day! A day that used be somewhat exciting and patriotic. A day when my heart swelled with gratitude for the exercise of freedom in this great United States. I woke last night. Yes, just after my last post about not having trouble sleeping. I woke. And could not fall back to sleep. I realized it was the election on my heart. So I prayed for this great Nation. And fell back to sleep I woke again this morning with peace. This is still a great Nation. We are still here. When our son died. God left us here. For a reason. For a purpose. We still have a voice. If ... View Post
