Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
I love words, especially new words, so this Japanese word caught my attention when I read Our Daily Bread this morning. Tsundoku is a Japanese term that refers to a stack of unread books. I like this definition: tsundoku is a combination of Japanese words meaning “to pile up” and “reading.” It can be used in […]
Friday, March 13 We bought this chocolate chip cookie mix through our granddaughter Jana who was selling these for a friend who made them to help fund a mission trip. Last Friday was the day that I chose to mix and bake them. The jar contained only the dry ingredients, so I had to add […]
I love when the bluebirds look directly at my camera. They look like they are cross. 🙂
Sunday, March 15 Sunday School (only by phone) – Subject: Consequences for Injustice – Habakkuk 2:6-14 – Teacher: Nevin Ebersole We can get discouraged – but know this – God will win! What God allows – He allows. All labor is in vain without God. The just shall live by faith. Whatever is God’s will […]
Tuesday, March 10 Sometimes I just have to go outside – and I can do that because we live in the country – instead of listening to news. The hyacinth are beginning to bloom. The pink and the purple Daffodils are bursting in the buds. The crocus are in full bloom …and oh, look, the […]
Monday, March 9 The sky looked a bit like an ocean. A few fun facts about clouds A cloud is a large group of tiny water droplets that we can see in the air. Clouds are formed when water on Earth evaporates into the sky and condenses high up in the cooler air. Most clouds […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma
Saturday, March 7 Did you ever see an advertisement on TV or smell the scent of a favorite food in a mall or grocery store and have it influence your next purchase? We were watching TV last Saturday afternoon when I noticed a sub in an advertisement and thought, “I would enjoy a good sub […]
Thursday Morning, March 5 Isn’t is amazing that day after day the sun rises on a new day – no matter what is going on in the world and in our world. A sign of God’s faithfulness.
This includes a variety of photos from the past six weeks. I had a funny thing happen today, which reminded me that it was time to post another set of bird photos. As I thought about what I would post this evening, I got up from working on my laptop and went to get my […]
Wednesday, March 4 The first crocus in our yard always reminds me of my Mother. These crocus bulbs were her last gift to us – for our 10th wedding anniversary in September 1973. She died suddenly in March 1974. Inge, this is your area – the burial plot for you sweet cats. I will let […]
Sunday, March 8 Sunday School – Subject: A Prayer for Justice – Habakkuk 1 – Teacher: John Diffenderfer When studying Habakkuk you realize again that there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) There was injustice during the life of Habakkuk and there is injustice today. When do we let justice/injustice to God and […]
Pictures were taken during the past few months They are fun to watch. This is a female, because the red cap does not go to the beak. The red on the male goes from his crown to his beak. It is often difficult to figure out why they are called red-bellied, but this photo shows […]
Tuesday, March 3 I took the photos between 6:26 am and 7:36 am and enjoyed watching the pastel colors appear when the sunrise and fog mixed.
Monday, March 2 I heard machinery outside in the field and checked to see what was happening. Whatever they were spraying, it was prepping the fields for the spring and summer crops. Love our country life.
I had fun watching a group of crows the other day. A group of crows is called a “murder.” They take big steps and walk with purpose – in a kind of waddle. Fact about crows from the internet: The female lays four to five eggs and incubates them for 18 days. At four weeks, […]
Saturday, February 29 The seminar was provided by AF Stewardship Resources who give seminars that focus on basic Biblical and financial principles to help you honor the Lord with your finances. Cerwin and I were in charge of the welcome and registration tables. Carl and Shirley Martin helped at the other table. (I didn’t think […]
Oh, how I love to receive a gift of homemade bread – especially when it is from my brother Dale. It was a belated birthday gift – given to me when I had brunch with his wife, Dot (yesterday’s post.) Dale makes bread for the large Mennonite Disaster Relief Auction at the Pennsylvania Farm Show […]
