This and That Thursday - 20

A little bit of this and a little bit of that- here's what we've been up to. 

With the snow melting and the rain falling; making our farm a muddy mess,

Farmer John's early birthday present is very much appreciated. 

Take a look at our newest addition to our farm...

 

 

Good news this week! Daughter Sara called our family to our front yard, shot off some fireworks (literally!), and announced that she is nominated for Teacher Of The Year in our school district! If she is chosen in our district by her peers, she will then go on to the state contest. We are always very proud of her, as a daughter and a teacher, but it's always nice to get that pat on the back from her fellow educators. Her 8th grade Language Arts students are lucky to have her as their teacher.

As another crazy week winds down on our farm, we are reminded of the many blessings we continue to receive, especially the blessing of our risen Lord.

Giving Thanks

  

I am thankful for my family; for my husband that loves my quirks, and my children that accept that I may embarrass  them once in a while. I am thankful for my friends, who put up with my crabby days as well as my silly days. I am thankful for my comfortable home, messy bathrooms and all. I am thankful for our farm and our animals, even when machinery needs repairing and a cow needs help giving birth in the middle of the night. Thank you God for my many Barnyard Blessings.

 

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

Wishing all of you a peaceful, blessed Thanksgiving.
