A Hmmmmmm Moment...

With all the deep hatred today of "color" be it black, white, red, olive I stumbled upon this and found it to be a wonderful picture of the song..."He's got the whole world in His hands..

During our morning reading time I have been reading the book "Great Women in American History". This weeks lady is Mary McLeod Bethune. She was a black girl who grew up knowing both slavery and freedom. During an evangelistic trip to the Dakotas she meet a five year old girl who insisted that she wash before dinner because her skin was so dirty. The child's mother was horrified, but Mary just smiled. HERE IS THE PART I FOUND WONDERFUL: Mary held up a vase of flowers saying, "Look at all the different colors of these flowers. God made men just the way he made the flowers, some one color, some another, so that when they are gathered together they make a beautiful bouquet." Isn't that a beautiful picture...

Thanks for stopping by...

Thankfulness

Seems fitting that we start off our blog site with thankfulness. So here is a bit of what we are thankful for:

Hope for a few new mooooooving friends...the cows will be coming home soon!
Family - in this upside down world we are thankful for a family that is keeping the bonds and yokes of the Lord...
Friends to keep us in line...
"Keepers" Hair...oh, some of you will laugh as you know that the keeper of the home often, too often, complains about her hair...no more I tell you!
Boys growing into godly young men who will change the course of this country and stand for what is right!
Girls that will be pillars when it really matters most!
CHOCOLATE...CHOCOLATE....CHOCOLATE
A bountiful harvest
The Sound of Music...who wouldn't be thankful for this movie...
Coffee
The list could go on...but I'll stop by saying this...Be thankful - we have so much!

Welcome!

Fall...don't you just love fall? As we have enjoyed many days here lately I've noticed that fall has been different this year. I think it has to do with the peace and joy I feel in my heart. I see new things that I've never noticed before - like the wind blowing the leaves off of the trees...why have I never noticed that before I wonder? I'm sure I have but for some reason it just seems so beautiful and peaceful to me this year....hmmmm just something to ponder.

Have a delightful day tomorrow...
