...thankful

It is a busy time on the ranch in these early spring days. Calves are coming, there is fence to fix(that is a never ending job!) as well as just doing all the regular things. But I am thankful that it has warmed up, that I always have something to do and that God has put me in such a gorgeous place! However, we do need some moisture. April is usually one of our wettest months in this part of Colorado. Please pray with me that we do get some much needed snow or rain. What are you thankful for today? Please let us all know. Take care and blessings to you.

almost spring time

I hope the weather is warming up where you live. We have had some pretty nice days. The calves are starting to come (last night we even had a set of twins!) and, if the weather stays nice, the spring work on the ranch is just around the corner. Spring is always a busy time for farmers and ranchers. By the way...I saw my first robin of the season, yesterday.

In answer to last weeks question, from a worldly point of view, I think 'wanting' is better than having. It always seems to me that when you get what you want then you always want something else and there is no end to it. But when you really put God first, and have Him, as the 23rd Psalm assures us, we will 'want' for nothing. PTL!!!

Take care my friends.

...which is better?

Hi: I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I had a pretty nice one.

As I spoke about last week, I would like to pose a question and I hope you will give this a lot of prayerful thought as you consider it. Which is better...wanting or having? Please think about it from a worldly and spiritual point of view. I would very much like to hear what you have to say. I will give you my answer the next time I post.

I hope you have a very good week. Looking forward to your answers.

...we made it

We had a pretty mild fall and winter up until February. However, February was very brutal! The first morning of the month, the mercury sat at minus 24. It has been a long time since it was that cold here. And the temp never got about zero that long cold day. Within the first ten days of the month, we had a little over 40 inches of snow. And then, the wind began to blow! That really isn't unusual for our part of the world but it did make for some massive drifts. On one part of our country road, the white stuff piled up to about eight feet deep. We didn't make it to church for three Sundays in a row. But God is good all the time. We didn't start having calves until the end of the month when it warmed up just a bit.

I'm hoping I can pose a few questions over the next few weeks for us all to think about. God seems to have given me a very active imagination. I expressed a thought to one of my family members the other day and while giving me a strange look, he asked. "Are you a bit loony?" I assured him that I probably was!

I pray that all is going well for you and may God bless you abundantly.
