Gods sense of Humor

My son Paul owns property in the country and every year plants a lovely garden. This year he did not have as big a garden as usual and just had a few things planted just for he and his family. These pumpkins that you see here in the picture look beautiful and healthy but he did not put seeds in the garden for them to grow. My son and daughter-in-law have horses so they get lots of manure and I mean lots. These pumpkins started to grow on top of the manure heap and the plant was huge with tons on fruit. Now we can maybe see Gods humor because we do not know if these are real pumpkins or a cross between a pumpkin and squash or who knows. Anyway I will cut into one of them and cook some to see what happens. When you look at the shape of them they kind of look like a squash so I will have lots of fun to see what God planted in my sons garden. God is so good and faithful to all of us and even brings up things in our gardens that we did not plant. Have a great week and that God for all the bounty he supplys to us.

What is truth?

My husband and I are taking a course at our Church that asks the above question. Also Why did Jesus come? Do you really believe, that what you believe is really real?Last week our lesson was on Veritology and last night it was on Philosophy and Ethics. This is the most intense study we have had for a very long time. It really makes you stop to think and ponder the above questions. The teacher is Dr. Tackett with insights from Dr.R.C. Sproul and Ravi Zacharias. The answer to why Jesus came is He came to testify to the Truth. It would be great if all of you could hear this study (it is a video) and maybe in the future your Church will be able to buy the series for all to hear. The picture above was taken at our wonderful penisula with our family in the two row boats. What a wonderful place we have to go and enjoy undisturbed nature and fully enjoy Gods gift to us.

helping others

The God who washed away our sins will also wipe away our tears.anon Sometimes we take the love of others around us for granted and don't appreciate the little things people do for us. We have a neighbor that lost his wife four months ago and has become very dispondent and extremly lonely. Today we had him over for dinner and it was a joy to see him having fun and laughing and just enjoying being with some one. We try to see him as much as possible and have invited him to our Church for a social. The Lord has told us to seek those out who are hurting and needing a loving touch. All though our friend does not know the Lord we pray that with time he will understand his need of receiving the Lord as his Savior.

family

Over the labor day holiday we had the privilige of having three of our children and their children together. It is not very easy for our one son who is a Pastor of a Church in New York State to come home to see his brother and sister. How great it was to see our grandchildren interact with each other and have a great time. These are such precious times in our lives that we take for granted and do not stop to think how great is our God to give us these moments in time to share our joy and love for each other.
