Will You help me?

My daughter shared about feeding the homeless. Would you take a minute and hop over there and read and leave a comment. She often checks and sees that lots have read but no one comments. That isn't her focus as you will see in the post but just wanted to ask so that you can help me to encourage her to keep writing.

Crazy about Compassion: ~Picture to the Stories~: For years I had heard about poverty. For years I have hugged the necks of people who live or have lived in poverty. I have tried to release ...

Something so Small can be so Big.

A few weeks ago our D-group delivered food boxes to an elderly community. It was such a blessing... to them.... and to us.  The last apartment we went to the elderly woman literally started crying and thanking Jesus. She said she didn't have any food left .... just water.  Wow.

It only took us about an hour. We delivered 72 boxes. The kids loved helping. Wesley was so surprised when the woman at the last apartment cried and thanked Jesus and us. He kept saying "Mom, she said she didn't have any food!"

We hope to be able to continue to help this elderly community. Something so small and it meant so much.

Our New Arrivals!

The post office called yesterday morning......  OUR CHICKS CAME!

We have funky chickens....

We have Golden Polish ones.... these are ones with the funny top hats.

We also have Partridge Cochins.....  these are the ones with feathers on their feet!

Look how cute!

We also have a couple of Crevecoeus....  these originated from Normandy, France. Since my Dad was in WWII and was at Normandy... I thought this would be cool.

We also have six chicks from the local feed store. A few Rhode Island Reds and a couple bantams. So in total we have 23 chicks.  We love them. My grandmother loved sitting outside watching the chickens scratch in the dirt...    I think I have inherited this from her! We do not eat our chickens... just the eggs.

Spring is here.  We also have three ducks! The kids wanted ducks.... I am not very thrilled about the ducks!

How is your spring going?  The sun is shining... the kids have already been in the pool! Well, Wyatt & Wesley have...   hehehe ....

May the JOY of the Lord be yours.
