Thursday on the Mountain... December 4

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🏠


“The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.”

Psalm 145:17-18, 21 ESV


“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We love because he first loved us.”

1 John 4:4, 10, 15, 19 ESV


“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

Hebrews 11:1, 6 ESV


“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.””

John 16:33 ESV

Waiting for Daddy...

Bible Study Time...




Out to the Barnyard..
Yes, it's cold,
but no wind, so tolerable...








Out the Kitchen Window...



Lanny had his semi-annual lab work at 9:30
this morning so we headed down the hill
to Oak Ridge...



Checked all the cameras...
Hens in the Goat House...


Ducks in the VERY COLD pond...



Dogs in the front room...
waiting...


We went to Summit and then 
over to Hobby Lobby to pick up
a short string of lights for one of my small trees...

Pups are STILL waiting...


For his Birthday we went to Olive Garden...


LOVE their Salads...
and we ordered our usual
Shrimp Scampi...


Then they brought him a
free Birthday Dessert...
Lasagna Chocolate Cake...



Still Waiting...


He made us a BIG fire
when we got home...


Good idea Max...

The Barnyard is buttoned up

Wednesday on the Mountain... December 3

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🛡️


“In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,”

Ephesians 6:16-18 ESV


“No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 


And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.”

1 John 3:9, 23-24 ESV


“They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 


Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.”

Jude 1:18-21, 24-25 ESV

Good Morning Wednesday...

It's a cold one...



Max is waiting...


So is Murph...


Went out into the Big Barn
to open the Bay Doors...
I have the Barn Trees lights on...
still working on the other Deco...
it's been cold out there :-)





Bible Study Time
with the Pack...



Murph needed a bit
of coaxing...


Had to move his bowl
around (following him)...
but he DID finally eat...


Sparkly Day...


Out to the Barnyard...










It's a bit
chilly outside...
So they will come
in and gather on the couch...


Gave Dandy a couple cookies
before we left for the Gym...



Lanny built a fire
as soon as we came home...


Had our usual Breakfast...


Max was ready for the fire...


Gave the Critters
the Sparkly Berries
from the last three decanting...





Hard to tell,
but Max is REALLY enjoying the fire...
he is on his back...




Maggie wanted a bit
of that heat as well...


When Max moved out,
Maggie moved in :-)



I really like
the Christmas Screensaver
this year...



We were changing out flowers
in the outside pots
and Max was helping...


Made a big pot of Soup today...
LOTS of Chicken and Veggies,
and some home made Egg Noodles....
YUM!!!


And some Sourdough
Cheesy Bread!


All the chores are done,
Critters are all ready for the evening...
We are getting into our
Jammies and are ready to start
some Christmas movies...
Tonight we are watching
"Die Hard"...
Now you all know it is
definitely a Christmas movie :-)

Good Night Everyone...

God Bless Your Evening
