Monday on the Mountain... April 20

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🦎🐢


“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”

Matthew 16:24-26 NKJV


“The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them. You have a mighty arm; 

Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.”

Psalms 89:11, 13 NKJV


“Good understanding gains favor, But the way of the unfaithful is hard. 

Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool lays open his folly.”

Proverbs 13:15-16 NKJV


“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”

Galatians 5:16 NKJV

Good Morning...

I woke up around 2:30, thinking it was 3:30...

looked at my watch wrong :-)

Anyway, I laid there for awhile waiting 

for 4:30 only to discover my error...

I just couldn't go back to sleep,

so here I am.

No worries...

I just get a bit more Quiet Time :-)


It's starting out

another cool one...

But today the Weatherman

says it will get a bit warmer...



He had to wait a bit longer
this morning :-)




A common arrangement
on the couch in the morning...


Bible Study Time...



💖



Heading out for our
chilly morning chores...
Tennessee weather!!







A brave Hummer out on this
chilly morning...



Made some Kamut Chocolate Chip Cookies...
freshly milled Khorasan flour...
Healthy!


Some to freeze 
and bake later...


They are moving all around this morning
finding comfy places...



And always keeping me in view :-)


I needed to sit down and rest
a bit and I grabbed my crochet...
if EVER I sit on the couch
my little "M&M" magnets gotta be close :-)
(Mags and Murph)...





Snagged off of Facebook...
they are celebrating their
5th Anniversary today...


Heading out to the Barnyard
for the evening shift...
VERY nice temp this afternoon...





VERY small garden

Peaches are getting bigger...





*****

All the chores are done...
it turned out to be such a lovely day...
All the critters are happy and ready
for their evening...
we will get into our evening attire
and snuggle down on the couch
with the Fur Kids...

Sunday on the Mountain... April 19

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

☔️🌧️


“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

II Timothy 1:7 NKJV


“He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”

Proverbs 13:13 NKJV


“It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel.”

Proverbs 20:3 NKJV


“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!””

Luke 11:13 NKJV


“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

I Corinthians 13:4-7, 11-13 NKJV

Murph gets in my spot

when I get up...



They were waiting for 
us to get ready for the movie...


Cooling off on the floor...
look at that pose...
this back legs are flat!



*****
It rained thru the night...
noisy at times, but we
needed a bit of rain.
My gauge says
nearly a half an inch...
Paula's said two inches... ??

“He covers the sky with clouds; 
He supplies the earth with rain 
and makes grass grow on the hills.” 
Psalm 147:8


Waiting for Daddy
to make his way into the Living Room...



Bible Study Time...



Sparkly Day...


Out to the damp Barnyard...
had to put on my jacket this morning...
and the Weather is calling
for only low 60's today...




These four Buckeye "Littles"
often pile into one nest...



A favorite spot for a Duck Egg...





“Then I will send rain on your land in its season, 
both autumn and spring rains, 
so that you may gather in your grain, 
new wine, and olive oil.” 
Deuteronomy 11:14




As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, 

and do not return to it without watering the earth, 

and making it bud and flourish, 

so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 

so is my word that goes out from my mouth.” 

Isaiah 55:10-11
