More rain!

Rain clouds are coming in again!  It has been so nice not to have to worry about the trees getting water.  We replanted four pine trees that died on us last year because we did not get them watered.   The first two weeks were hot and dry and we were not here to water them every day.  One did not make it, but that might have been more from the gopher killing off its roots.  Thank the Lord that He sent rain, He saved them! Well except for the one that turned brown.  Next year maybe we will try a more sturdy tree that can survive us!

Our lives have been so busy this summer, but hopefully it has all served to prepare us for the future.  I will miss all the grandchildren when they return to school!

Waiting for the End

Beginning with the babies last Sunday, our household has, one after another, come down with the flu.  This is no 24-hour bug, but one that hangs on for days.  We are all still trying to recover.

As the fireworks lit up the sky, on the 4th, I laid in bed hugging my pillow, trying not to move, waiting for the sickness to pass.  When the end comes, won't God's judgments be the same.  As He has told us, so will it be, and we can do nothing other than hang on to our faith, and wait on the Lord.
