Thank you All for the kind words, beautiful cards and Mass stipends for Mom.

45 degrees and beautiful in Haymarsh…just wrapped up Latin Mass. Sacred and Beautiful, motivation for me to learn Latin.

Chore Date

Grandpa needed a distraction from his sorrow, so Andrew and I went on a chore date, and he offered to babysit the three littles for us.

Feeding Hay with the Gator & Pick & Roll.

It’s good to have friends in time of sorrow.

Had to say safe travels and Godspeed to Aunt Lang on Monday afternoon.

Comfort

I am not sure where to begin to say thank you to all of those who have brought comfort and prayers to our family. Andrew and I have not needed to cook a meal in the last 4 days. So much generosity and love we have felt. The All Night Vigil was so powerful! The flowers made the funeral beautiful. Thank you dear friends and loved ones!

Mom’s sister was able to attend the funeral! Thank you Medora for helping make that happen. She has brought so much comfort to all of us, it is so nice that she was able to be here for her sister.

My 3-4 am vigil hour with God, Mom, and Andrew will forever be etched in my mind. So powerful! So holy! So good!

Mom’s Family. Are you able to tell she loved babies and taught her children to also love and respect life? She knew what was most important in this world and in the next.

Being able to walk with her was so powerful!

Burial. Mother was buried by those who loved her.

Corporal Work of Mercy: Bury the deceased. Everyone was given a chance to help Mom attain her final resting place.

Mother

My mother passed to her eternal rest tonight at 9:50 pm. Fr. Gary Benz gave her, her Last Rites & Apostolic Pardon at 7:30 pm. Andrew, the children, my Dad and I finished the Rosary at approximately 8:30 pm. My Mother was gifted the Happy Death she prayed for. Miss you Mom, put in some good words for us.

Eternal rest grant unto HER, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon HER.

May the souls of all the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

~Amen~

Happy Birthday 🎉

Andrew & I helped Grandpa sell a piece of equipment, it was bittersweet saying goodbye to the Grinder Mixer, lots of corn was ground using that machine… it’s new home is Wolf Point, MT.

Warm Up

January 15, 2022 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

We’ve had fairly pleasant weather all week. It has been very busy, juggling and getting everything done well, but we’re succeeding!

We turned off the Christmas lights this week.

We’ve had a couple parts break on two of our wells, thank goodness Andrew has an engineer mind.

Little Miss Independent, now that she’s two, she dresses herself, she’s totally fine wearing Daddy’s hat and Big brother’s gloves even though they don’t fit! Ain’t no one going to tell her otherwise. I like the confidence & independence that she is learning, Andrew and I will have to learn to make sure she knows however that every day in her life she needs to be working for a Higher Power… Confidence & Independence are excellent as long as they’re harnessed to God’s Will.

My Aunt Mary Kay passed away last night, please pray for the repose of her soul.

I love, love it when I see Andrew and any of our children working together on the farm. I know it provides an opportunity for them to bond, the children to ask advice, questions about life, etc. Here they are feeding a bale of hay to the heifers.

Bone chilling 🥶

Keeping the cattle happy, the chicken’s laying eggs, and all of the outdoor beings as cozy as possible proves to be a challenge in these frigid temperatures.
