Today’s Meditation
“Much that is true of human relationships is also true of our relationship with God. Human relationships of friendship or marriage need time, attention, and care for them to continue and to grow. The same is true of our relationship with God. We have been called to union but we need to respond. As we turn to God in conversion or in a deeper awakening, besides turning away from deliberate sin—which deforms the soul, blocks the relationship and offends the Person who has sacrificed His life for us—we need to positively build the relationship by paying attention to the One who loves us. Prayer is at root simply paying attention to God.”
—Ralph Martin, p. 121
Happy Advent Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ! We are so blessed! God continues to shower us with miraculous treasures! May you too feel the anticipatory joy that Advent brings!!! O Come, O come Emmanuel 🎶
It has been tough going since November 10th. This early, deep, snow has made everything so challenging! Snow has it’s place… on a slope in a place far away from me. 😂. Today, we weaned steers. It seemed like such a daunting task, but as soon as our amazing help showed up, it all went so smoothly!!! God is so Good! Praise Him!!!
It’s 11 below, but I have to admit, God’s a good artist. Like the BEST!
Quote of the Day”He who labors as he prays lifts his heart to God with his hands.”–St. Bernard
Mother Nature threw us a curve ball. My birthday had to be cancelled to prepare for a storm. We were so blessed on Wednesday that after making 3 phone calls, 3 friends indeed! Showed up to help move the cattle closer to home. Once the storm hit, it took us a good part of a day to dig out. Thank God for tractor snowblowers! Growing up we just had our no cab loader tractor…the cabbed tractor with the snowblower is a game changer. With this amount of snow, it appears winter is here, the snow and cold makes everything so much more challenging…a good test in patience, perseverance, and optimism. This is our 4th year here and definitely the earliest winter has come in those 4 years. After trudging through the couple of feet deep snow banks this evening for chores, I’m going to seriously look in to snowshoes.❄️
We’re busy nearly every weekend in the Autumn trailing cattle, weaning calves or fixing fence. We never know who God is going to send to help us. Today He sent another excellent crew, 10 riders total!
We decided to try a “no screen zone,” this past summer. We loved the results so much we’re continuing it on. We are living counter culturally. Praise Him!!!
