“Tell the Israelites to move on.” ~ Exodus 14:15 ~
“Be trustful, be steadfast, whatever betide thee,
Only one thing do thou ask of the Lord.
Grace to go forward wherever He guide thee,
Simply believing the truth of His word.”

“He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me, still He knows what He is about.” ~ John Henry Newman ~
“Give me my scallop shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
my gown of glory, hope’s true gage
And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage.”

Hi Sandra,
I was just thinking about you this morning. I hope all is well with you and the farm.
Happy Wednesday,
Jen
i must thank you for all of your posts, but especially your Sabbath keeping ones. They are always so wonderful and great to think about!
It's already Monday on my side of the world, but I always tell my daughters on Sunday, that we should consider ourselves as lillies of the field – no labouring, no spinning.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
Yes, looking forward is always best. Thanks for the reminder.
Hope all is well in your land. Seems spring has sprung. A new beauty, I'm sure.
Love the barn & the write.
Happy Mother's Day.
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon

"still He knows what He's about." i love
that. such a sense of understatement. 🙂
i wanted you to know that "the inklings"
arrived today, and i can't wait to dive
into it. i'm going to post about it next
wednesday or so.
thank you again!
I love old barns, too!
Sandra,
It's good to be back. What a post to come back to. The first verse, "move on", that spoke to me. Deep down resonance that one. Thank you.
I hope all is well at the farm.
