Praising God for 13 years with this man of God and for the two wonderful children He had entrusted to us. Please pardon the litter on the ground in the one pic. We didn't put it there, but removed it just before leaving the area. Some people in our part of the world don't yet know God or care about His beautiful creation. May His light shine through our lives, marriage, and family for His glory!

This evening I drove past this convenience store. Since I already shared a few pics from my life today, I decided to share another. Many times when I pass this little convenience store (not far from where I live), the fear of God comes upon me. Several years ago I had a dream where I was inside a convenience store and waiting near the checkout counter. Suddenly I heard a sound like a mighty shofar and although I was indoors, I saw Jesus coming in the clouds. I was so excited! This was what I'd been living for! Then, I immediately had the exact same dream again, except this time when I heard the shofar and saw Jesus, I also saw that I had been distracted from the things He'd given me to do. I felt so much shame and remorse! Around the time of this dream, this convenience store was opened. I've only been in it once or twice in the years since, but inside it is laid out just as the one in my dream. When I see it, I'm reminded to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

They worked together to try to fix the washing machine. We prayed for it too. I have seen God start cars that wouldn't start. I've even seen God answer prayer to turn one off when the engine wouldn't shut off even after a mechanic disconnected important parts that should have stopped it. He can restore a washing machine too.

While we were away making hats and having tea, the guys enjoyed their time at home.

Special hats we decorated at a mother and daughter craft and tea event today.

Looking forward to reading this new book!

Should I be worried about the quality of my tea? I buy it for what's inside and not for print on the package. But, I'm not used to seeing packaging like this. I've purchased this brand of tea for years and it seems something has changed.

I love to read and just now finished reading this book. I have been touched by God in a special way through the reading of this book. If you enjoy reading about the goodness of God, then you may also wish to read this book. I recommend it.

What does God have for you to do today? Take heart. He is with you.

This kitten always makes sure to join us for bedtime family prayers. Today he found my son's Bible and it looks like he wanted to get in a little personal devotion time as well😆

Be encouraged by these Scriptures and take special note that "your labor is not in vain in the Lord." What you are doing in the Lord (not only for Him, but in Him) will accomplish His intended purpose. Do not lose heart. The enemy is not happy about what God is doing through you, but the victory belongs to Jesus!

I tried this chocolate for the first time today. I was able to try it for free and haven't yet looked into prices or locations where it's sold. But, I believe this to be the best chocolate I've tasted at this point in my life. I was shocked (in a very good way) by both the taste and texture!

Before I had a son of my own, I thought children "climbing the walls" was a figure of speech.

On his way out of the house to encourage more laborers to join in the Harvest. I am truly blessed to share life together with this man of God.

THANK YOU, BTJ! I had a surprise in the mail today! This will be a reminder of our global family. 🙏

Not sure how to turn the photo upright, but I found this song from an old childhood folder. In looking through the songs, I see in a new way how much these songs influenced my understanding of life. What are we giving to our children that will shape their lives? What are they reading? Listening to? Watching?

Keep planting....some of the seeds will result in a harvest of much more than you planted!

So thankful for this young lady (my daughter)! To those who prayed for her earlier this year during her health crisis, "Thank you so much!" She is doing well.

First family camping trip in several years.
