God's Creation!

In the Beginning..

God created the Heaven..

and the earth.

These are some pictures that my Mum took. These show just a little of God's creation. We are such a privileged people to live in such a beautiful environment. Our Countryside just screams a Creator. My favorite of all of God's creations are people. I even love people that are unloved. John 3:16" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son; that whosoever believeth in him should perish, but have everlasting life.John3:16 We have a great God!

Please Pray!

Here is a link to Voice of the Martyrs. Persecution.com. Please look under prayer. There is a man that needs our prayer. People around the world are being persecuted. One way to help these people is to pray for them. Psalm 94:20-22" Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. but the Lord is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge."Psalm94:20-22 I Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. I Peter 4:7

Rocks, Cookies, A trip to the Beach, and JoAnna.

 You might be wondering what rocks and cookies have in common. In our science we have been learning how rocks are made from different minerals coming together.  Well...cookies are made by putting lot of things together. So...we decided to make a batch of cookies and let each child put extra things in the cookies to make them nice:)  We put different flavors, different colors, different chocolate chips, and different nuts. It was a lot of fun!!  We also took a field trip to Zipple Bay. We discovered a lot of neat rocks. We are going to take some of these rocks and put them through a rock tumbler to learn more about erosion. The Bible tells us that we are to put our trust in the solid rock called Jesus. Matthew 7:24"There fore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house on a rock."Matthew 7:24 Psalm 62:7" In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God."Psalm 62:7

Apples and our bike ride.

This is Elizabeth trying my hand at blogging. We have had a bountiful harvest of apples this year.We have made over 200 quarts of applesauce, 21 quarts of apple pie filling, and 10 quarts of apple juice.We are grateful to God for all of his gifts that He has given to us!

My little sweet sister Esther. She loved climbing the apple trees!

Me. We shook the trees on a tarp so that it was easy to gather apples for applesauce.

Matthew! Don't Fall!!(The ground is only a few feet down)

Matthew, Rachel,and I decided to bike to the Krahn's corn-maze.It took us one and one half hours.

Starting Off! Thank-you so much Uncle Arthur and Aunt Camille for letting us work at your corn-maze. We all love working there!

 Victoria is doing pretty well. She had some good appointments In The Cities. All the doctors were so surprised to see Victoria doing so well.We thank God for our little treasure.Even though she is a lot of work, it's nice to be taking care of a miracle!!

Sorry these pictures are out of order.This is Rachel and Matthew manning the applesauce maker.

Another good helper! JoAnna loves to help to make applesauce. In fact, our whole family enjoys applesauce making.  May God Bless you all. Keep Walking with the Lord.

Psalm 100 make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness:come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us,

and not we ourselves: we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,

and into his courts with praise.

be thankful unto him,

and bless his name.

For the Lord is good:

his mercy is everlasting:

and his truth endureth to all generations.
