Homestead Minute
Our family has been focused on this Holy Week -- reflecting on the sacrifice that God made for us and working through our repentance as we prepare to worship the One True King.
(Interesting to see the forces of evil working at this specific time to try to silence the world from proclaiming the most glorious and essential truth -- Christ Is King!)

"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"

“Many love knowledge, even theological knowledge, on account of the intellectual joy they experience and because they wish to be called masters, without, sufficiently loving God himself, who is to be known in theology.”

Gardening Supplies Scavenger Hunt Kids’ Activity
1. Parent decides what supplies are necessary and how many to have for each child.
2. Parent hides supplies around the yard.
3. Each child is given a list of the items hidden.
4. Child who finds the most items is awarded a prize related to gardening, like a new hat or pair of gloves.
5. Have kids note what they did today on their own calendar. Noting each activity creates a handy reference for next year.
•Children bring far more lasting joy than any career could have, anything you can buy or do, anywhere you could travel,
and any amount of money you make.
Too many women seek for temporary happiness in this world rather than the deep, lasting joy of bearing and raising children•
“The soil is the greatest connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it, we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.” – Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America
Читать полностью…Jesus,
Today we pause to remember your sacrificial love That shone light into the darkness That bore life from such emptiness That revealed hope out of devastation That spoke truth through incrimination That released freedom in spite of imprisonment And brought us forgiveness instead of punishment. Thank you that we can now walk in the light of your life, Hope, truth, freedom and forgiveness, This day and everyday.
Amen

48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
ACTS 7:48-50 KJV
Never lose faith in humanity..
In 2023, a Gelje Sherpa who was guiding a private client up Mount Everest found a man who was close to death by the summit. The Sherpa rolled the man into a sleeping mattress, gave him oxygen and then painstakingly trekked 6 hours down a perilous mountain, with the man strapped to his back.
"Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action."
John Muir
