For this is the day the Lord hath made....I WILL rejoice and be glad in it.

Another blessed day here on PatchWork Acres....Dehydrator full of zucchini squash, some cubed and some grated.....thinking this will be a nice addition to add to recipes...a handful into soups ,and chicken and dressing....also have a canner going full of green beans...yes the garden in producing full blast....I also have an incubator full of eggs and they are busily chirping and hatching....sounds kinda hectic here....
and I was feeling stretched thin...but I got to thinking...This is the day the Lord hath made...I WILL rejoice and be glad in it....Rejoicing is a choice....I can look at the things around me and drown or I can keep my focus on Jesus and choose thankfulness instead....When I choose to be thankful and yes even make myself Praise the Lord...I can actually feel the tenseness drain from my body.....I am glad that I have a heavenly Father that cares....I know if he sees every sparrow that falls...and he knows even how many hairs I have on my head..( and how many were in my brush this morning)...then He cares about what my day looks like...I can let him be apart of my day by keeping my focus and him ,...I can acknowledge him in all I do by being thankful and he will direct my paths.....this kinda makes me know Just HOW great my Father IS....because right now I have a lot of paths going on....By being thankful he is there on all of them with me, directing me.....Just something that has been running thru my mind as I work today....."Thank you Lord for my noisey dehydrator and the chirping of chicks...and please Father don't let me get distracted and my canner blow up......but most of all ...Thank You ...for everything you are"......"amen"...oh yeah...please help me not forget to keep the washer going so my men have clean clothes to wear tomorrow....AMEN!!!

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 ...

I have opened a small home business, painting on pallet wood and other crafts and wood work....With winter coming on and the milking slowing down...I have a little time on my hands some days.With the long evenings it gives me time to design and dream a little....Just thought I would share a little of what is going on these days. If you want to see some of the things going on in the shop just check out....www.facebook.com/CraftBlessings ...The name of the business is PatchWork Blessings. Come check it out!!!

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...
