Barn Meditations ...talking with God and Milking goats

As I was milking this morning my mind was wondering.....How so often in life we have tribulations and valleys,stumbling blocks that seem to be in our way of growing and spreading our wings.
  But what if instead of looking at them as always trials and negative things,Why not say "Lord what is it I can learn and take with me that I couldn't learn any time else.....what if every trial was like a board and we just picked it up, and every temptation was like a nail and we got to keep it when we were victorious...but then I thought my, my, before long I would be so burdened down with all my nails and boards I couldn't move...but then God reminded me in my ramblings, that He will carry my burdens...But I don't wont to forget everything I learned thru this I kinda argued with him....he gently reminded me that  wont because I will need them...because every trial that we allow him to teach us some thing instead of me kicking and screaming...I was gathering valuable things that I will need...in my mind I saw a big open valley deep and wide...I looked back at Jesus and there He stood...with all those boards and nails I had been gathering thru life's ups and downs....and we built a bridge....yes I had enough boards, nails and wisdom...because all along he knew what I would need...if I didn't get it one time...he allowed another trial till I did...because He knew and He wanted me to be prepared...to step into the calling he has....my prayer is...Lord find me faithful...

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
