Hello sisters!
By God's grace and mercy I am back here again! And you too if you're reading this! Let us rejoice and be glad in Him and His goodness!
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Lamentations 3:21-25
I hope you're all strong and striving on in the Lord...in His strength!
Time for a picture catch up post I think! It seems time goes by so fast as it must be already two weeks since my last catch up one. And it's already half way through the first month of the year! May we keep redeeming the time wisely and in good works.
Thought the pears look like little lanterns in the tree! Very fruitful it is just as we want to be in the faith.
That's such bright summer sunshine too! Almost makes your eyes water just looking at that picture! Even small young trees are bearing much fruit here.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.1 Timothy 4:12
The last of the potatoes for now...
And I love to use even the tiniest ones and was thinking about these scriptures...
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.James 5:7
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.Proverbs 12:27
It is good to be thankful for and use everything the Lord provides and not waste anything if possible. It mentions them being precious.
There's been green apples falling off the tree so I made some apple sauce today...
There's usually some kind of use for things even if you can't eat them raw.
I had a busy period of extra cleaning jobs lately which is a blessing too. This one had a nice ocean view...
And the particular woman at that job was extra curious about me and asking all kinds of questions, so naturally that includes my faith. But she was extra happy to have me come back as her new cleaner and even paid me extra so it's always interesting seeing how people react. Of course being in someone else's home you do have to be respectful and considerate but she was asking the questions including if I was Mennonite so I got to give quite a few simple answers to all her questions. She thought it was a good thing that I was standing for what I believe. But no matter when, you're always on duty to be His witness. That is a 24/7 great responsibility we have. May the Lord help us shine His light.
After that I had a bit of extra time before my next job and so got to go to the ocean for a bit. And it was a nice quiet rocky spot and not the type of sandy beach that wouldn't be wise to go to on a warm summer's day.
Always different little creations to see...
Been sewing some more too.
I was able to learn how to do partial button front skirts and shirts so that should be useful ahead.
Thought this lizard was funny trying to make itself big and scary to me...
That one was under a dog kennel so I had to carefully scare it away! They are one of the most poisonous snakes in the world so you have to tread carefully around here and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
So amazing the thousands of varieties He made! Glory to Him!
So that's what I have to share for now and Lord willing I will keep being able to share here daily and keep going about my works here too. It is not to be taken forgranted all we can do. Keep going in your duties sisters!
I leave with this scripture and encourage us all to do the same...
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.Acts 11:23
Yes may we cleave to the Lord with purpose of heart! Hold fast sisters and strive on as good soldiers in the fight of faith! Love to you.
