Looking out the back window… the Fall season is upon us. The trees are beginning change little by little to their different hues. The leaves will soon be gone. There is a great anology, when that leaf falls off there is a new one sitting behind it ready to spring forth when our maker gives the command in the Spring. And so for us, there is always hope wherever you find yourself in life where death of anything has occurred… there is new life waiting at His command to spring forth in newness.
Farm changes….last field mowed yesterday. Manure being spread. Our beef born the beginning of the year went yesterday to our buyer. They grow quite big but you can still hear the momma’s cry for a couple of days for their young, who have been nursed from birth until sold. The cows have been killed for the freezer. Soon the house will be secured for the winter. Our summer clothes have been switched out for the winter ones, now we are ready for the colder weather. We have such a short season it almost takes your breath away because it seems you just put out the summer furniture…planted the gardens and now we wait for our first frost. The wood furnace has not been started and oil is not as warm so wrapping in the homemade quilts in the evening feels good.
Life is quick …here today….gone tomorrow. We both had birthday's and realize life goes very fast. What we do for Christ is the important thing and that is what will last for eternity.
