Blessings of a cold and rainy day. .....How big is your God?

The day started with strong storms....I waited to go out and milk  between rains....and of course the girls just wanted to settle down in hutches and not be milked....after chores ...I settled into working on a rug and listening to a some good preaching.....love these kinda days...well about noon I was contacted about a local dairy that needed to empty a tank of milk....nothing wrong with it,  no antibiotics, just had the tempt drop to much....boy was I excited....for myself, said a prayer for the dairyman...my day turned around fast...this milk is perfect for butter and cheese....then our local butcher called and said our beef is ready....so many blessings in one day.....kinda reminds me of a time when my boys/men were small......I overheard a conversation going on in the back seat as I was going to town....my youngest was about 3 and his older brother was around 5....the younger asked in his so innocent way" How big do you think God is....the 5 year old was quiet a little and said he is sooo big...and kinda looked around  like he was looking for something..then spotting a basketball,  he said why he is so big he can put this ball right in his mouth...the younger ones eye got big and he quietly said"That is big"....seemed satisfied and the conversation moved on.....I got to thinking about that and asked myself..... (after quietly chuckling)...How big is my God....is he big enough to take care of my loved ones....is he big enough to trust with my dreams?....yes I believe my God the maker of heaven and earth,,, is so big that he hears every whispered prayer and catches every tear that I shed...he carries me thru every valley and on every mountaintop top...How big is your God

Why Can't I be like a Goose

                                        We had a big storm move in this morning...extremely heavy rain,wind and lighting. I don't like storms...well I should say I have a love hate relationship ....I love to hear  the rumble of thunder but hate the sharp lighting,,love the rain but hate the high winds....you see I have been in some really bad storms...to the point of having to get under a table or in a closet....and the worse part is being alone at home at the time....  So as this storm was blowing and rain pounding....I looked out my kitchen window,There in my back yard were my 3 big geese....yes just strolling along...enjoying the rain and wind...no fear ,no worries,actually lifting their heads skyward in a way that could have been considered thankfulness or praise ...flapping their wings in dance and playing...over all having a good time....IN THE STORM... It made me think of the verses of how God will cover me with His feathers in Psalms, so that nothing can harm me...and of

It's a grandpa thing....

  We knew for 9 months that this time would come. I had been sleeping with my phone at night for a week  or so , just in case a call came thru the night.  At 4 that morning it's ring jarred me from my sleep.....yes our grandson was on the way....living 6 hours from my daughter and son-n-law wasn't helping things.....we hurriedly packed and decided to go ahead and do chores......My poor chickens and goats thought I had lost my mind as I rushed around and chored by lantern light. After packing everything in our vehicle,  we headed out.       Talking and laughing as we traveled along.....we were about an hour from our destination....we were going to stay with our other grandson while his brother was being born....we got a call that things may not be all well with the delivery. .An emergency C-section was called for....as I looked at my dear hubby and saw the concern on his face and the tear in his eyes....he reached quietly for my hand and began to pray.....then it seemed we wo

All in a days Worship.

     Why is it that we only feel like we worship or have devotions when we sit still in a chair and read our Bible or kneel quietly and pray?...Those things have their time and place...but what about the spontaneous dance in the morning dew as we sing or the quiet admiring of the rainbow in the water of the garden sprinkler...or the hatching of baby ducks in the color of spun gold.....or the song birds singing in the trees or the dove cooing in the cool of the evening....the purring of a kitty begging to be held...I believe worship can be anywhere...these everyday things that turn our hearts to the Abba Father....His joy washes over us....For me its stripping old paint off of a old dresser and seeing beauty underneath that turns my thoughts to the Father...knowing of the times I have been sanded/rubbed the wrong way ....it hurts ...it takes a layer off me....I could choose to be bitter or embrace it and ask Jesus to do what he needs or wants to do in the situation....Like I patch and b
