Stay Faithful!
Yes, I am sad and disheartened today like many of you. I don't know what's going to happen and the human side of me fears for my children and grandchildren's futures. America is not the place that it once was. It is not the nation based on the love and fear of the Almighty God that was founded by our forefathers. It's not the people here now that came here, fought and died for our inalienable rights. One thing will never change --- that things WILL change. They never stay the same. And so we are off to another four years in a downward spiral, in my opinion, to the demise of our great nation.
After 8 years of this administration, is that a long enough timespan to change forever the way of the United States of America? Is it time enough for people to forget the way it used to be? When people had morals, and faith and Christian values and cared about their fellow man. When people stood up for what is right and not for "if it feels good, do it". When people listened and adhered to the teachings of the Word of God about homosexuality. Before people thought they had a "right" to choose whether to kill the unborn and go on about their business.
I am amazed how scientists can find a one-cell organism on Mars and call it LIFE, and turn right around and say that a fetus does NOT constitute LIFE and provide a way for us to expel the offending unborn human being from our bodies because it's inconvenient. Explain that one to me, will ya? If memory serves me correctly, as a nation, we've killed about 55 million unborn babies to date and more are being aborted even as we speak.
Dear Lord in heaven, Forgive us we pray. May we STILL turn to you and may it not be too late for you to Bless America.
Regardless - I am filled with hope for our future. I trust that God has a plan and that He knows best. I will mourn, and then I will go on with life, loving those in my life, trusting in the Lord, and I will continue to pray for our president as he leads our country. He needs our prayers. Desperately - every single day. He has a very difficult job and I sure wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
One thing I know. I am His child. He is my Heavenly Father. No matter if the world comes to an end, it is well with my soul. I hope and pray that you all are, too, my friends.

Commentary by a Friend

You simply MUST hop over and read this post by Jennifer. It came from 2009, I believe, but she reposted it. It's simple, to the point, and highly thought-provoking. I stand and applaud her. She put very eloquently what I think and feel every single day. Tell her I sent you... Thanks!

Prayers Needed...
I know I have many friends out there who regularly call on the name of the Lord on behalf of those in need. My friend, Helen & her husband, who go to church with me lost their 17 year old daughter, Kayla, in a terrible car wreck last Friday night. The funeral is tomorrow. This accident has devastated the whole family and our church family. Dear sweet Kayla was a Christian young lady, full of life, always smiling, and loved by all who knew her. She was the one who always sought out the new kid at school, the kid who didn't really fit in, the kid who really needed a friend. Never met a stranger, never judged or talked bad about anybody. She will surely be missed. Wish I had a photo to show you... Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

HEY THERE, ARE Y'ALL STILL THERE??? I AM ...
I'm still here! I'm still alive! I got over my "crud" finally. (thank you Vee for checking on me...) I'm just busy-busy with the house, the wedding AND...
Hubby's mom fell AGAIN, and broke the same leg/hip that she broke in April of last year! Bless her heart, with her memory problems, she forgets or refuses to use her walker and she fell last Thursday in her bathroom at the Alz. care home and now is in the hospital. They did major surgery to repair her leg/hip and had to replace the pin with another longer pin and screws and cables - Oh, I don't know what all. I hate it so badly for her! It's hard to help her understand what's going on and why she's hurting. I think she'll be in a nursing home for a couple of months while healing and we'll see what to do from there. They've got her on pain meds right now, so she's groggy, but I'm hoping that she'll be feeling better soon.
And the wedding... well, lots of you know what we're dealing with here. April 30 is coming up very soon, and as usual, I'm running behind, and still have lots to do for the rehearsal dinner, etc. It's coming together and it's going to be beautiful. I can't wait! I could have searched the world over and I couldn't have found a better match for my son - well, of course, you dummy! God brought them together so I had nothing to do with it! If you knew our lives you'd know this is a "God" thing! I love this sweet young lady SO much!
I DID find another gal to help at my office so that's a HUGE relief for me. I hope she likes it here. She's really doing well, and I hope to keep her for a long time. She's young with two little girls (but her mom keeps them for her). Normally, I wouldn't want to hire someone with kids cuz they're always calling in sick, but since they stay with their grandmother, it's a little different. We'll see what happens!
I'm SO anxious to get out in my garden! There just hasn't been much time. I was hoping to get out there and get some seed beds in last weekend, but life happens, and family comes first so... maybe in another week or two. It's still early to some of you, but I'm chompin' at the bit here. I usually already have my potatoes in, already have my onions in, and beginning to get peas and beans in the ground. My fruit trees have already flowered and are leafing out as well as the rose bushes. The daffodils are fading away, and believe it or not - we've already seen the crane flies and a few mosquitos on the muggy nights.
We have a huge old oak tree that spreads out over our deck and back yard and the birds have eaten all the little berries off of it and have pooped seeds all over the deck. Problem is, they stick like glue and I may have to get the power washer out to get all those seeds off. They're stuck all over the metal chairs, too! Besides, the mistletoe just falls and drops pieces of itself all over the place, too. So messy! The clovery grasses are coming up everywhere with little purple flowery thingies and the lawnmower is in the shop! Our yards need a haircut already!
I found a little bitty turtle in my hydrangea bed, but went back later and it was dead. I wondered if the crows brought it over there or something. I thoroughly detest the crows. Do you know they can take the lid off a garbage can and rummage through the trash and make a big ole mess on the ground!!! I sat and watched 'em do a while back and they disappeared about the time I appeared with my son's pellet gun. Shoot!
All this to say that SPRING IS WELL ON ITS WAY here at Sand Flat Farm! And I'm smilin' and so happy about it! Now if I could just find some time to get out in the garden...
PS - I've read several good blog posts on all the tragedies happening across the Pacific Ocean from us in Japan. It's so sad. If you haven't been by her blog, Debbie at Of His Pasture had a great post today about Japan, a wonderful book about a brave Christian woman, and letting God watch over her kids while they are in Japan. Stop by there and check out this post. After you do that, jump over to my other Debbie's blog, Wisdom, and read her post about not panicking in these troubled times and that what happened in Japan is just History in the Making. We are to put our trust and faith in the Lord. His children do not have to worry about these things. Both of these posts today helped me put into words what we should be doing and what we should be praying about. I am so thankful to have met so many Christian women friends in blogland that I can count on to lift me up daily. These gals are just two of them. Thank you one and all for your encouragement and your prayers. I thank God for you all. Have a great week, my lovelies!

Update
Thank you SO much dear blog friends!!! For your well wishes, your PRAYERS and your kind words! Lindsey's Dad came through his by-pass surgery, is in recovery, and is doing well. Thanks be to the Lord above for watching over this good Christian man. We're all breathing a great sigh of relief, and I am so appreciative of you, my prayer warriors!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Will be back soon!
