Isaiah 64:8

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, 

and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, 

to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, 

that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Jg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.

 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

       

2Co 4:8 ¶ We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
 13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Photo Dump Picture Post

Now I know why Annie always does these posts. She has a card full of pictures that could be about 10 posts but no time to write them. Most of them happened to long ago anyway.

 This post was going to be called "Back in Time" because Ann made the recipe for Mom and Papa's wedding cake for us to taste.

These aren't butter cups are they? They were shorter and in a swamp.

This was a bake sale that my mom and sister (and some of the rest of the family) put on for me. All the earnings go to my schooling.

Rainbow!

Azaleas

The leaves are out! Happiness

La and apple tree blossoms

Very high creek at the bottom of the cow pasture after spring storms

May Apple

Ann's nails. I always tell her she has such pretty nails even not painted. Mine are short and stubby.

Evening light after milking

Do you see what I see?

found in the pasture on the way to fix fence

The fence is finally fixed! It was so fun to let the cows out. I didn't know a cow could look happy!

They stood just outside the gate and ate like they were starved. Our milk went up to 2 gal per milking!

 

I have been at one of my 3 jobs every day since May 14 and will not have another day empty till June 14 and those are each just one day so when this past weekend was suddenly free, I dragged most of the family down to NJ to see Grandma. One day going, one day there, and one day back.

mom and her mom

The past several times we were there I have tried to watch the sunrise over the ocean but there have always been too many clouds. This time I saw it. Just as good as I thought.

Micah went with me and took pictures. This is afterwords back at the house. He took the pics of me and Mom and Grandma, the rest are from my phone.

One of 'my favorite' parts of blogging is changing the background. :)
