WORDS TO LIVE BY

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and His understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31

Nothing reduces the odds against you like ignoring them. ~ Robert Brault

ANIMAL UPDATES

Here are our two cats that have kittens. Bear has five kittens and is a very good mommy cat. Monkey has one kitten and most of the time seems to have no idea what to do with the poor thing. The first week she drug it all over the place, even dropping it at the feet of other cats as if trying to get them to do something with it. She finally settled in a place to keep it. She takes care of it bit minimally. Occasionally Amanda puts it in with Bear's kittens for a little so it will get a good bath. Bear always seems horrified at how badly it needs a bath and quickly cleans it up.

YARD AND GARDEN

Austin and I did more weeding I'm the garden this morning and I also cut some of the collards and Swiss Chard and the few Lamb's Quarters that were growing in the rows I was working on. It seems like I had cut a lot of greens but by the time I cleaned and blanched them there was only enough for a gallon bag of mixed greens to put in the freezer. 

WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER

The kids had a busy day today. They started their day with Legos.

After breakfast we were outside for the morning.

After lunch we worked in our workbooks, played a game and read some stories before quiet time. 

Cayson brought water guns for everyone so after quiet time they headed out for some water fun. 

OUT AND ABOUT

I had to make a run to the grocery store this evening for laundry detergent and milk and Amanda needed some medicine for the fish so went to the pet store to get that.

Morning Musing Over Coffee - Have You Not Heard?

Do you not know?

    Have you not heard? 

The Lord is the everlasting God,

    the Creator of the ends of the earth. 

He will not grow tired or weary, 

    and his understanding no one can fathom. 

He gives strength to the weary 

    and increases the power of the weak.

 

Even youths grow tired and weary,

    and young men stumble and fall; 

 

but those who hope in the Lord

    will renew their strength. 

They will soar on wings like eagles; 

    they will run and not grow weary,

    they will walk and not be faint.

~ Isaiah 40:28-31

Sometimes we act like we don't know what an amazing awesome God we serve! This passage addresses this attitude. Do you not know? Have you not heard? We serve a God who is the Creator, He never grows tired, and He is the Source of all strength and power. So it's time to stand up and act like the blessed people we are instead of acting like defeated, tired victims of a our challenges. 

It's time to soar on wings like eagles, far above our challenges.
