Garden Bounty and a Prayer Request

Earlier this spring, we set out a garden plot.

My husband’s parents are helping us with it.

Well….the garden has been planted, tended to, weeded, watered and is now producing!

Green Beans, Squash and Cucumbers are abundant!

And what to do with all this food?  We’ve been canning it.

The canning has been running quite a bit this week!  What a blessing to put up fresh from the garden food.

Now…the prayer request.  Tomorrow morning (Friday) my husband will be having shoulder surgery.  Would you please pray with us for a successful surgery and safe recovery?  Thanks!

    Praying that God will guide the surgeon's hands, that the nurses will minister tenderly to your husband's needs, and that he will experience a quick and full recovery. Oh, and peace for you all!
    Will you pray for us, too? Our daughter is 6 days overdue and tomorrow will discuss induction with her doctor. Please pray that she and her husband have peace and clarity about this decision. She will also undergo a non-stress test. Thank you!
    Your garden looks wonderfully lush! I haven't even planted my tomatoes, beans, peas, onions, and beets yet, it's been so cold here in Oregon. Love the look of fresh-canned food. Bon apetit!
    Thanks for your visit last week and your comment. blessings, k

    Okay, I thought our garden was big. LOL! I really need to learn how to can. Great job. It's so fun to go pick your own veggies.
    I'll be saying a pray for your hubby!
    Have a great day.

    Beautiful garden....beautiful harvest! Good for you! I know it is a lot of hard work. Hope the surgery went well this morning....guess he won't be in the garden for a while. Hope his recovery is swift and complete.

    It is a really nice garden that you have there. I know you have been doing all your hard work just for the surgery. Prayers are the most strongest weapon that we will ever have. Hope everything went well on the operation.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
