Breaking Ground

Garden Days are here again!
Ground Breaking Day



What better place for a little girl to be?


Maggie and I got to work moving
some wood back to the wood pile
After our work was done...
Maggie and I decided to lay in
the grass and pick some beautiful flowers...

Beautiful Bouquet:)

Exhausted from all the hard work
I found a "little bear" hiding in her den....
(so I was told by Mags)
Happy Spring!!

"Doing for Others"

Going into the ministry has been a very humbling experience to say the least... You learn alot of what it means to "do without" or shall I say you continually learn to sacrifice your own selfish desires along the way....

With that said, I've tried to teach my children that on those days when we're feeling a little down or the selfish bug comes crawling into our thoughts and making us think we "need" something we aren't able to get, the best way to handle those feelings is to go do something for someone else!

I've loaded them up on several occasions lately and went to weed someone's flower beds or mowed someone's grass! Lol.

And it works!

Why???

Because you take the focus off yourself and learn to focus on others!

While doing my Bible Study tonight I came across these verses...

"Don't be selfish. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing."
Philippians 2:3-4

Love ya'll! Strive to be Different!

One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking of you
Just give me the strength to do everyday, what I have to do
Yesterdays gone sweet Jesus
and tomorrow may never be mine
Lord help me today show me the way
One day at a time.......
