Gratitude Gifts

After a busy week of fieldwork and seeding, Bob was able to seed all the grain and then the rain began during the night.  It was perfect timing!  The seed is planted and now the miracle of growth begins and we wait for the harvest.  The days ahead will be filled with all that the crops need to flourish and we will watch the skies for storms and leave all the rest to God.  This is definitely the season when I enjoy being a farm family.

There is so much goodness in this season as plants grow and flower.  The promise of what is to come makes the days of waiting worth it.  In awhile there will be berries and fruits, kernels and roots but in the meantime, we rest in God's provision.  And I count on with all the goodness that He bestows.
