Hello sweet ladies,

We were without internet again for 24 hours. I wasn't able to write back on the comments from the other day. Thank you for all the sweetness!!!!! I wrote to you all late last night.

Since we got back from camp, LIFE has been so BUSY!

The tomatoes are ready! I am so thankful that my prayers have been answered. I ask the Lord who thought up gardening, to help my garden grow. I think it is special, when He answers. The tomatoes are doing very well this year. I am grateful. My cellar is needing replenished. I have canned for our older sons families over the years. The recipe for our Tomato Stew for our soups is wonderful! Yesterday afternoon I started canning. It excites me! I have been over at your blogs and I see that you have been doing the same.

We will have it for the fall and winter months. I posted a post last year for the Tomato Soup Base. It is the best recipe. You will love it! We make Veggie Beef Soup and Chili. Click here. It works better if you have a food processor. I couldn't get as much done if I didn't have mine.

Mr. Phil planted me a little fall garden. We hope it works. Praying it will! The little corn and green bean babies are coming up. It is a precious site. See in the top left pic, how the little plant is coming up out of the ground? It is amazing!

I wish you could come to my farm and see. Know that the door is open, at any time!

I have also made some Currant Jelly and Red Plum Jam. The red plum tastes so nummy.

When I lived in Alaska there was a wonderful berry called Nagoon Berry. You had to go out into the woods and crawl on your hands and knees to get these little gems. It was so worth it. We would make jelly every summer. Well, I was so excited when I made the Red Plum Jelly, because it had the same taste. It is a treat now that takes me back home.

We have been listening to a new Bible reading. It has been very good.

Shawn at Extreme Kansas Camp, told us about it.

Daily Audio Bible

Today I was personally encouraged. I need that..........everyday!

I was made to live in Christ. Christ has been pursuing me from my beginning. Thank you Jesus! That is a precious thought, for me. I was reminded of who I used to be. I didn't even care about living right. Rebellion was my life, but He came and picked me up. Cleaned me off, because that is why He came. He made me new, because of HIM and the price was paid at the cross! Jesus set me free. I am so thankful that I am free from my past life. I had to give up, my rights for His rights! It was a good thing. I am still being transformed by HIS word.

Read this scripture carefully.

It will penetrate your heart, if you ask. I was again convicted.

Romans 6

¹What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? ²By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?³Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

⁵If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. ⁶For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— ⁷because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

⁸Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. ¹⁰The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹²Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. ¹⁴For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! ¹⁶Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? ¹⁷But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. ¹⁸You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

¹⁹I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. ²⁰When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. ²¹What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! ²²But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. ²³For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Heard this song for the first time today. The girls are a little strange at the end,

but I love the song at the beginning.

Please pray that God would protect every marriage. Marriages are being attacked!!!! If you read my blog today and your marriage is not what God wants it to be pray, and don't give up! I want you to know that you are being prayed for! Ladies lets all pray for marriages today. Thank you!

Today I will be driving to go pick up the parts to the new fence, we are going to build. It will be a long drive, but I will be with my honey. That is a gift from the Lord! We will talk............. about you and your families and ask God to meet all of your needs. We will ask Him that if you don't know HIM, that He will whisper in your ear, that you are so loved by Him. Can't wait to see in Heaven what He did this day, for the most precious women and families in the whole world.

YOU!

Have a nice day!

Blessings and hugs from the farm,
