Prayer Keeping ~ Juliet ~ Jim ~ Sandra ~
Hi Yvonne, I'd be happy if I could follow them! grin…
Hi Dori, Xaver is WISE…"pray and work and God always will help you!" YES!
Dear Sandra, you really are right! Today my farmerfriend Xaver said: "Pray and work, and God always will help you!"
Sandra, those are some very powerful sayings.
Wish everyone could follow them.
Hugs to you. yvonne
Hi Dori – it's what we all do, those of us who live on a farm…we get up each morning and do the work God has set before us…it is an honor, bless His name!
Yes, Lynne, that was an excellent quote…reminds me of 1 Thess 4:11 – Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, … to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you…
Hi Nancy, that snow in sunset header photos is a great one…not because I took it but because it's another example of God's magnificent creation. Many thanks for your kind words.
Hi Deborah, it's plenty warm in the house…wood stove is kept chunked full of good, hard wood.
Hi Dewena, I watched Gaudy Night yesterday. By the time I get chores done – inside and out and I eat, I'm usually tuckered out. Prior to going back outside for last chores, I'll watch a Brit DVD. Usually, I have knitting in hand so I don't feel like a total slackard!
I love that you included a quote from Gaudy Night, my favorite Sayers book and a true romance!
Glad to see you have your Sabbath post up Sandra. Hope you are staying warm and well.
You earn honour for your brave style of living, dear Sandra!
