TODAY'S QUOTE

Prayer is communication with the Divine. It can be whispered or chanted or written or expressed in the work you do. However it is expressed, it is never in vain. ~ Donna Wilk Cardillo

It is of course possible to dance a prayer. ~ Terri Guillemets

WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER

On the lot next to us there is a house being built and today we got to watch a crane lift sections of the house up to the second floor. It was a fun way to spend our morning. 

The kids also had fun playing in the areas my dad plowed yesterday for our new garden space. They ran and chased each other and dug in the dirt and had a wonderful time. 

And here are a few more pictures from our day. It was busy but it was good. 

OUT AND ABOUT

This evening Michael, Amanda and I went to Food Lion to get a few things. Then when we got back Michael went with Doug to pick up a lawnmower to work on. Amanda spent few hours at my sister's this afternoon and came home with three goldfish that her cousin gave her. They are already some very pampered goldfish!

Pray Without Ceasing!

1 Thessalonians 5:17 

"The position of our text is very suggestive. Observe what it follows. It comes immediately after the precept, "Rejoice evermore;" as if that command had somewhat staggered the reader, and made him ask "How can I always rejoice?" and, therefore, the apostle appended as answer, "Always pray." The more praying the more rejoicing. Prayer gives a channel to the pent-up sorrows of the soul, they flow away, and in their stead streams of sacred delight pour into the heart. At the same time the more rejoicing the more praying; when the heart is in a quiet condition, and full of joy in the Lord, then also will it be sure to draw nigh unto the Lord in worship. Holy joy and prayer act and react upon each other."

C. H. Spurgeon, March 10,1872
