“When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me?” He
Brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord comes again. A farmer patiently waits for his valuable crop to grow from the earth and for it to receive the autumn and spring rains. You too, must be patient. Do not give up hope, because the Lord is coming soon. Brothers
Lance Armstrong and I have a couple successes and sabotages that we share in common. Although I have not accomplished ANYWHERE the magnitude of what he has, I am equally passionate about bringing out the over-comer in those around me. I admire that he has attempted to live a Bold
“”Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will protect them from those who malign them.” And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times. O LORD,
Then there was a woman in Joppa, a disciple called Tabitha, whose name in Greek was Dorcas (meaning Gazelle). She was a woman whose whole life was full of good and kindly actions, but in those days she became seriously ill and died… Peter got up and went back with
By Amy Layne Litzelman – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 I confess: I’m a
Around Thistle Cove Farm, it pays to have a brave heart. Lily, you may remember, was a barn kitten, saved from being a warm meal of the two barn owls. She’s been in the house for almost three weeks…hard to believe!…and spent the first week being fed with an eyedropper.
The morning starts off with prayer and hope – one leading us in the 23rd psalm, another leading the Lord’s Prayer, and the teen choosing a proverb. I finish off with prayer: Praising God for either the rain that prepares the crops, or the sun that helps the crops grow,
“All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of His covenant.” ~ Psalms 25:10 ~ “To recognize with delight all high and generous and beautiful actions; to find a joy even in seeing the good qualities of your bitterest opponents, and to
For a bit of time during the last few weeks, I felt much like a tin water bucket left out in the rain, where each soft drip eventually wears away the outward coating, rusting and thinning the inner foundation, until it finally the soft drip has worn a hole. I
“Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master’s Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work” (James 5:7) Waiting – I was never very good at that. Learning to cook – that taught
I was perusing a favorite blog recently, one known to have beautiful images of the everyday events of our lives… and thinking how lovely it would be to sit at such a table and enjoy writing by the light of the oil lamp. One of the reasons I love this
“And afterward I will pour out my Spirit on all people Your sons and daughters will prophesy Your old men will dream dreams Your young men will see visions.” ~ Joel 2-28 ~ “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream at night in the dusty recesses of their
Summer from school was only about 6 weeks long – so the boys, they slept in, went swimming a few times – and hung out with their friends in the neighborhood. Lots of laughter – about 5 p.m. every afternoon – mayhem, really, between the birds back-yard socializing, the cat
‘Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free, ’tis the gift to come down where we ought to be, and when we find ourselves in the place just right, ’twill be in the valley of love and delight. When true simplicity is gained to bow and
Behind the stables is a livestock water trough that, fairly often, gets an air lock. The upper left end is where the John Deere is stored, the hay loft is top middle and the lower right is where the Ranger lives next to the tack room. But I digress. So,
“But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.” Romans 2:8 I don’t have children but I think I’ve experienced them enough to know at least a few tidbits about their behavior. I have a niece, and I remember
“I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.” Jeremiah 32:40 There are going to be times in our lives when God gives us great challenges
Two weeks ago I pondered the condition of today’s world in which we live, last week I pondered roots, and for Tea this Sunday I’ve been thinking about wings. It is the most difficult of all three subjects to put on paper so I hope the thoughts which have been
“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” ~ Henry David Thoreau ~ Under my feet, my piece of heaven has thistles galore and I spend a lot of time chopping those thistles. I’ve been told thistles are a bi-annual crop…and I use the word “crop” loosely…and need
