Love

 ¹"If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

 ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸ Love never fails..."

Springtime Animals

This is Joel's Pyranees, Indy. He takes good care of our sheep herd, and is a gentle giant!

We have 6 adorable Shih-Poo puppies in our living room right now! They are all looking for new homes.

Introducing "Sassafras", or "Sassy" for short. =) Joel got her for me as an early birthday gift! She's very laid back and loves attention. I can't wait to ride her around the farm this summer!

Isn't this little fella adorable? So cuddly and such soft, sweet eyes! Ben's Lab had 11 puppies and we are trying to sell them. Indy is the father! =)

Evan M.

Little Sickie

Poor Evan has bronchitis. =(

He would appreciate it if you'd ask Jesus to help him get better soon!

In the meantime, Mama & Daddy are taking good care of him! (staying hydrated is important, ya know)!

Snow Glory

It's really coming down out there! Big, fluffy snowflakes are literally pouring down from the sky today!

As I sit cozied up in my little house and watch from the window, I have been wondering what God thinks as He looks on us this particular day. "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Surely most of us have been taught that song at some point in our life! This very cold, snowy day was created by our Father, and whether we like it or not, He has a purpose for us to fulfill in it. Have you taken the time to thank Him for all He's chosen to bless your life with? Have you looked outside (or been playing out in it!) and said "Thanks, God, for the glorious white day we're having!"? 

Perhaps you had plans today (or this evening) and they have been messed up by this weather. Joel had to totally change his plan for the day because he couldn't get his truck out of the valley! At lunchtime, Andy, Joel, and Eli had to walk all the way up the drive to get to their homes. I would've liked to get some shopping done this afternoon, but the roads are too snowy for Evan and me to brave alone! Sometimes I think God creates an unexpected or not-so-convenient day just to slow us down a little. Often life gets going so fast that we can easily forget to cherish those around us and the time that we have together. "Take each day and make it last... 'cause you turn around and the future is the past."

Enjoy this snow day! Take a good look around at all you've got and remember to praise the Lord for His goodness.

Weekend Fun

Yes, I did this to him.

What a happy boy! His daddy's childhood nickname was "Jolly Joel"... I think this little guy could be "Ecstatic Evan".

Buddies!
