Sometimes you just have to take a break, sometimes it's a long break. Just take one day and one chore at a time. <BR/><BR/>JudyTabletop Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580481936776892107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-77209764902669149472008-07-03T00:07:00.000-04:002008-07-03T00:07:00.000-04:00Although you will be missed, it will only be for a...Although you will be missed, it will only be for a short while.

Thank you for your encouragement. I am only 37, but being a mother, wife, and homeschooler, I find life gets more muddled each year. There is always more I would like to achieve than there is time in the day. God has been reminding me that my home is really with Him after all. What we do here is important, but we must not lose the reality that we are living here with a purpose that ends in another place. Enjoy your time with Him. May it be a refreshing time.<BR/><BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-14785430194590706132008-07-02T15:48:00.000-04:002008-07-02T15:48:00.000-04:00Hi Herrick,Beautiful potatoes!

I get to join your age bracket as I turn 50 this summer in August. A half century of life for us, purely by God's grace. Wonder what He has planned for the second half? He so lovingly blessed us with Anna Rose, our eight year old daughter, who helps keep me feeling young even as my body slows down. She is truly a free spirit and I so enjoy seeing life through her eyes. I hope when she is my age she will have many joyful memories to savor. I bet your boys will. Don't be cumbered by your limitations! I've learned (the hard way) to focus on what I CAN do, and be thankful for it. Godliness with contentment is great gain. Enjoy what you have, teach your boys what you know, and revel in the harvest when it comes. Have a blessed July with your family!
