Snow!!!

It finally snowed in February, so I took the girls out to play, then Esther came out with us. We made snow angels, had snowball "fights," and slid on the driveway. Esther then wrote her name in the snow, so I got my camera to take pictures of it, then we took pictures of Mercy, Esther, and I.

Here is a collage with some of the pictures. 

"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."

Psalm 51:7

The Harvest is Ready

 The Harvest is Ready

Do you not say,

That harvest is four months away?

Yet I say to you,

That the harvest is due.

For there are unsaved sheep,

And yet you do sleep?

I say unto you, 'Wake,'

The Gospel to them take.

For the sheep are the people,

And they are quite feeble.

They don't have my teaching,

So send them My preaching.

This poem is based on John 4:35.  I hope you all enjoy it!

I thought while I was posting, I would do a couple of summer pictures.

Lately, I have been wishing for summer.

 This is a zinnia.

 The twins riding Pepper!

 A meadow fritillary.

A beautiful morning!

Smile!

This is a poem that I found. 

Smile!

Smiling is infectious; 

you catch it like the flu.

When someone smiled at me 

today, I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner

and someone saw my grin.

When he smiled I realized

I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,

then I realized its worth.

A single smile, just like mine,

could travel round the Earth.

So if you feel a smile begin,

don't leave it undetected.

 Let's start an epidemic quick

 and get the world infected!

Daddy!

Last Saturday was Daddy's birthday!

I am so glad he is my Daddy!

This picture was taken last Father's Day

Daddy leads our family in Devotions, takes us to Church, points us to Christ. He is our school principal and one of our two teachers. ; ) 

Dad grew up on a farm and has had our farm since he was 19, so I though I would post this poem again. 

Just a Farmer

"Just a Farmer", you said

And I laughed 'cause I knew

All the things that farmers

Must be able to do.

They must study the land,

Then watch the sky

And figure just when

Is the right time and why -

To sow and to plant

To buy and to sell

To go to the market

With cattle and well -

You know the books

That farmers must keep

To pay all those taxes

And be able to sleep.

And you know the fixin'

That farmers must do

When machines like mad monsters

Blow a gasket or two.

I guess when God needed

Folks to care for His earth

He chose "just farmers"

'Cause He knew their true worth.
