What a GREAT day!!!
We woke up and had our morning reading with the kids. I finished my daily routine in getting kids ready for school. I got on the computer to check my emails and read some emails that caused me to rejoice. Jesus said in Matthew 5 vs. 10 - 12 "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me. "REJOICE, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. What a beautiful day.....my son and his friend are here helping me with my huge garden. We have been making rows. The wind is blowing giving us A/C! :) Scott is down the road working with Teryl (his partner in a land developing business) fixing some roads to sell lots we have. I have reason to rejoice there too, because that business has allowed Scott to be at home more with his family. It has allowed him to provide for us and be there at the same time. It has allowed him to start a business that will one day be given to our boys to help support them. It will also pay off 98% of our debt making us so close to being debt free. I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for the friends I have reconnected with from elementary school, middle school, high school and my neighborhood I grew up in. I am thankful for the friends I have with the Church that are rich and lasting. Man, what a GREAT day!! I look around me and I am blessed.

Amen sista! He is worth it!
Yes indeed, I agree, you are so blessed!! Ps. 84:11 says..."no good thing will the Lord withhold from those who do what is right." Keep on living your life as you have, putting Jesus first, no matter the pain and just wait and see what blessings you will have. Your total obedience to Him, is an example we can all learn to follow better. Your garden is huge but that doesn't surprise me....you have always enjoyed doing things big.....watching even the smallest of things grow into their full potential. You are one strong, strong lady and I admire your strength in life. The smile I saw on your face yesterday, reflected the deep joy you have found in Jesus. Reminds me of the scripture in Nehemiah which says, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." Stand on Him and He will never let you down or disappoint you!!
