Late this afternoon the storms came rumbling through again. Dark clouds, thunder, and some lightning, filled the sky as the rains fell. I had just made some scones and was sitting in Kat's rocker and watching tv, while I tested the freshly baked bread with my tea. A storm had just came through and another was coming in. There were no good detective shows to watch so I turned to the Gaither Show and they sang the song "Til the Storm Passes By". It was awesome, like God was right there watching us. (The song is on itunes)
Kat and Andy took the kids and went camping. I pray they may find shelter in His hand tonight. Rain and hail is forecasted throughout the night.
I looked out the window at the dogs right after a huge clap of thunder broke open the heavens. Sammy was sitting off the deck and looking at me as if I had just made that noise!! Saw Freckles and Little Black running out of the fields and heading over to the neighbor's barn. Guess they want to be dry AND look for mice!
All is good. The Lord is coming soon and we are in His care.

A Brighter Day
The Bible verse for the day is:
It greatly grieves me when I find myself assuming the worst about someone else. Or making an assumption that their actions are going to be evil, or meant to harm me or my children, before they have acted. Haven't I just become the wicked one, in so doing? Can't we just live, under the protection of our Almighty God, and know that whatever wrongs come our way, He will keep us if we walk with Him.
How do I have positive thoughts of all. I do admire people that are able to do that and just love to be around them! But me? Lord, help!!
The weather was so very beautiful yesterday....not to hot, with barely a wind. What will it be like in the new world? Will it be like the days of the Garden of Eden? I remember hearing laughter from a loved one that was musical like a bubbling brook, and I stood still in awe and listened with great pleasure. How great is our God's love for us to give us always His best!! Indeed, what a wonderful life it will be.
"As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it." Job 4:8

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

The Rain Continues and the Baking Goes On
Another round of heavy showers hit again. It is just one after another!!! Everything is so very green. I thank the Lord for this beautiful moisture, it has certainly made our garden stay alive! And, given Kathleen and Andy's little trees a good start.
When making scones, I load them with nuts and cranberries.... and that is such a great combination. Thinking maybe I was getting too much baking powder, I had intended for the next batch to go maybe half as much as the recipe calls for. However, after getting distracted by Christopher and his friend, the baking powder was left out all together. This is not adviseable, if you want a good scone. It is ok....but lacks the breaded texture. But, with tea, it is edible.
On the 4th I had a tire go completely flat. The night was dark, the wind was blowing a little, and it was cold. I called my brother, and soon him and four of his buddies showed up to get the tire changed. I thank the Lord that I did not have the flat somewhere in the next 120 miles, as I traveled home. Brothers are such lifesavers!!! Promising to send them cookies, Chris, Kat and I all headed off in the night to our destinations. God is good!
