“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV

“He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.”

Psalm 147:4-5, 8-9, 11 ESV

“May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace!”

Psalm 29:11 ESV

“so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Philippians 2:10-11 ESV

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

Romans 5:1-2 ESV

“knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”

1 Peter 1:18-21 ESV

Everyone was waiting for me last night...

Good thing we have a King Sized Bed :-)

Well, for us it is

Christmas Day :-)

And a nice warm one!

Bible Study Time...

Max went out with me

when I opened the Bay Doors,

but halfway thru our Study Time

he knocked on the door to come back in...

yes, he knocks!

He pulls the screen with his claws

so that the door bangs until

we come let him in...

He could come in the dog door here in the

living room, but that would mean

he wasn't in control

of his humans :-)

My Baby...

I love all my Critters

but Maggie is just special...

 I thought these quotes were apropos....

“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” 

– Orhan Pamuk

"My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, 

your life is empty.”

Fur Kid Breakfast Time...

Murph is on a roll...

but I won't get used to it :-)

Our Breakfast Time...

The usual...

this is SO filling that we

usually aren't even hungry

for lunch...

Out to the Barnyard...

Ethel was in the tree,

but she flew into the yard

on her own...

she has a routine now...

I noticed Fiona and Baby

on high alert looking out toward

the Pole Barn...

Turns out that a couple of Does

were browsing around out there...

They were much closer

but they saw me coming with a camera :-)

The Barnyard is buttoned up

a little early today

because the Kids and Grands

should be coming any minute...

We won't need a movie for entertainment tonight...

we will have our Christmas Party...

we usually eat too much,

laugh a LOT,

sing Carols

and just have FUN!!!

I will be sure to take lots of pictures 

and will post them tomorrow...

“May the humility of the shepherds, the perseverance of the wise men, the joy of the angels, and the peace of the Christ Child be God's gifts to you and yours this Christmas time and always.” 

– Traditional Moravian blessing

Good Night

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!
