Run

We are all running different races but each of us with the same goal.

A friend sent me this verse and I thought I would share. The song, is one that I found and have claimed as ‘mine’ for this season of my life.

1Co 9:24-27

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

A little bit of His-story

My great grandpa Ora Renfro traveled from Oklahoma to California right before the dust bowl with these wagon wheels. These wheels faithfully carried him and his wife during that long journey. We hope to re-build the wagon one day and but these wheels on it. It is just a little bit of our His-story that our family has been able to save throughout the years.

Dandelions

I truly enjoy these little “weeds”. They are simply beautiful (they also make very good jam)!

California Visit

We had a wonderful visit to California this week.

We stopped at a fruit stand on our way home. I had forgotten how delicious California fruit was. The blackberries were HUGE. I took lots of pictures of all the fresh fruits and vegetables. We snacked on our little treasures all the way home. They also had a beautiful  flower garden. I hope our garden will mature and be that beautiful soon.

We stopped in Oklahoma to look at one of the largest free standing crosses in America.  It was truly beautiful! We enjoyed reading verses and eating lunch while we talked about the love of Christ.

Then, we went to the American Quarter Horse Museum. It was wonderful! I really enjoyed reading about the history of the American quarter horse.

 

And last but not least, a pretty field we passed by. Everything on the way to Kansas was dead, dry and hot, but there was a strange beauty that the states still had.

Faithful Boomer

Boomer is a little pup that our neighbor brought to us last year. Boomer has earned his place on the farm and brings much enjoyment to our family. He also does a wonderful job protecting our farm and family.

Nap Time

This is one of my many furry little friends. I think I should follow her example and take a nap more often.

Apple Blossoms

The Apple trees have blossomed with the promise that we will have fresh and juicy apples soon.

Gen 1:12 

“ And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
