The Worth Of The Sparrow...

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God.
But even the very hairs of your head are numbered. So do not be struck with with fear or seized with alarm: you (child of God) you are of greater worth than many flocks of sparrows!

As I went out to feed my chickens this morning I was walking into a very different situation than I usually encounter most mornings. There was a huge owl flying away with at least 20 sparrows going after it. They were sounding their alarms with screeching and telling that owl get out of here. This is our turf and you will not get what belongs to us.

There is a battle and we must stand for all that the Lord has given us. And to stand our ground against the enemy who is trying to take what belongs to us. And at times it takes others to stand with us.

The sparrow is the most common of all birds, yet the lord keeps watch over each and everyone, in His very presence they are. As He has said He will never leave or forsake us.
Luke12:6-7 Amplified

4th of July Parade...

Eddie and Olga first time to the Wet Parade there thinking I'm not going to get wet

(SMILE)

 Quick draw, fast shooting water machine! So Worried, out of water (Help)

Pam and Steve taking refuge under My water shield.

 Standing on top of the truck in case of flood.

Coolest and Funniest Parade Yet Water and more Water!

 What a great idea!

 Refueling water tank (Amy still dry) standing at the very back smart girl

 Still, a chance of a good hair day for her!

 Armed and dangerous, still dry, but not for long!!

He is having the time of his life, really 4Th of July must be every boys dream come true.

Fire by night (fire works) and water by day(water parade).

Now mind you, no matter how hard you tried to stay dry by the end of the parade even those you thought you could trust became wild in the fun of it all .

Nothing separated you, young or very old if you were there you YOU WERE Fair Game.

Come drink from the Living Waters!

 Happy Summer to all my friends in the world of Bloggers!

Roses and Faith...

                                                           The sweetness of the Lord

                           A rose is a rose, but yet they have many names and colors and sizes.
               I always love the name The Rose Of Sharon which is not even really a rose at all.

The steps of a good man or a woman are ordered of the Lord!

 Every step we take is really a step of faith. How can anyone walk in faith?

 Because our God is a good God!! He is always going before us.

 We are not blazing the trail of our own lives,

 But rather walking in faith as our steps are ordered by Him.

 I love how the Word cries out, Deep calls to Deep.

 Now don't get me wrong any body can walk off  a cliff, and it would be a long way down.

 But, rather take a sure step on solid ground, even if it's covered by water (FAITH).

"To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God"

 Mark 4:11

Looking Up...

So teach us to number our days, so that we might gain a heart of wisdom. Psalms90:12

I believe that there is a spirit of slumber upon us in these days. Yet at the same time the hours and days are just flying by. We must all stop hitting the snooze button!!

This last month has been very productive and sad and glad and funny and did I mention HOT.

Being Productive and Painting all our metal outside furniture, a very bright red color

 I went to a Women on Fire conference, 3 days filled with God's power and Love.

 Taking care of my husband and keeping the home fires burning.

 Loving my family and friends.

So Sad, Our sweet dog Heidi was bitten by a rattlesnake and she died. She was 11 years old

 I can't help but believe that she took the hit instead of one of us here. We cried like babies.

 And our other dog Bella is so lonely and sad without her,

 she just goes over to the grave and just sits down.

God is still on His throne and He speaks to the hearts of His children,

 and He has made a way in the wilderness

 Even through the hardships and sorrows and pain and all the work.

Funny=Seeing the Grand kids playing in the mud walking around with nothing on but cowboy boots and mud, should of gotten a picture of that one.

The moral of this story= God is a good God and our days our fleeting,

 so must learn to live in the now that God has given us so that there will not be regrets, but rather grateful for all the different emotions and seasons we go through.

No Matter;

Things Are Looking Up...

Blessings

Wyoming Country...

I have been transported to a wild west territory, Wyoming! It is the town of Cody. I am actually here on assignment to check out a college with my best friend and her daughter. I believe I was honored to be able to come. The drive was very long, but when you have someone to talk and laugh with the time goes more quickly (ha-ha). What a privilege to be with a mother and daughter as they see the future home of their newly graduated daughter.

I can just imagine the wonderful and exciting adventures ahead for her, and I also can feel the emotions that must be running through her heart. What!! So far from home, Hello what was I thinking!

But as I walked around the campus all Could see was opportunity calling and knowledge crying out. Dreams just waiting to be dreamed.

So, go my sweet girl your time has come to grow and become all that God has given you to do.

You Go Girl!!
