Hot Deals at CVS - 03:15, 2009-Jul-5 - By My Life Rhapsody

It's a great week for deals at CVS!

Here's what I picked up today for exactly $2.10 including tax (missing from the picture is a back of M&Ms - they were a filler item that turned into a snack on the way home). 18 total items and I earned back over $10 in Extra Care Bucks (ECBs - like a CVS gift card to use on your next purchase).

I love CVS because of deals like these! I could easily have spent $2 to buy just the Dawn dish soap or just 1 box of cereal. Instead I got all of these items for $2 and earned ECBs to spend next time.

Ministry to the Deaf - 02:57, Sunday, July 5, 2009 - By Dawnita

"There are approximately 250 million deaf people in the world. If all the deaf people that lived on earth were put together in one place, they would be the fourth largest nation. Only one to two percent of all deaf people are Christians. "  http://eoe.tripod.com/

I'm seriously thinking this is a ministry our family may be able to help with.  It surely is one that needs as much help as possible.  These people need to know about thier Creator and His Love for them.  I'm starting by passing the word.  Please join me and pass it along...

Our Weekend - 7:52 AM, July 5, 2009 - By Cheryl

Perfect Love - 08:21, Saturday, July 4, 2009 - By husbandfirst

Oh can Thy word still be fulfilled?

With fear my courage has been stilled.

I cannot hope ~ I cannot see.

How Thou canst make it true for me.

But "Perfect Love" cannot instill

Fears, doubts beneath His sovereign will.

It knows His word can never fail,

Despite the storms ~ it does not quail.

Ah Lord, a loved one went astray

Alone, I cry, in deep dismay.

Can Thou o'ercome my wounded grief?

Can he repent, I find relief?

My child, when hearts do still my voice,

And turn from Me and make their choice,

Their pleasure will be bitter ~ gall

Twixt me and them ~ sin's dreadful wall.

My word will fall upon their way

To call them out from sin's dark sway.

But you ~ dear hurt and flound'ring one

Must lean more fully on God's Son.

My Love is there to comfort you.

My peace will bid you hope anew.

My Faith that points to Heaven at last,

When tears are gone and sorrows past

I Know the Load is Heavy, Child - 08:04, Saturday, July 4, 2009 - By husbandfirst

I know the load is heavy, child.

Too much, your plaintive cry.

Bowed down, you stumble 'neath the weight,

Each step a long drawn sigh

Within your load so many things

That I have not decreed.

You add each task as if you were

A 'superhuman' breed.

My precious child, I would not give

Loads that would crush and blight.

Leave off the ones that come from you,

And find My burden light.

Swallowtail butterfly - 07:26, Saturday, July 4, 2009 - By LKS

I missed the best picture. On my way in to the house there were 3 of these beautys on the same flower. I ran for my camera & when I came back only this one was left. But isn't he/she gorgeous?

"Tiny caterpillar, climbing up a tree

He wiggles & he wiggles & he wiggles back to me

I put him in a box,  "Don't go away" I said

But when I opened up the box, a butterfly instead!

I can never make one, even if I try

Only Jesus Christ can make a butterfly."

Blessings.

Hallo from Ontario canada - 06:34, Saturday, July 4, 2009 - By Lorena

Its july already  children looking for jobs   and some have found some but not all   Wallace woke                                                                                                            

  up one morning and couldn"t hear ,it was quite   around here for a few days ,except when I had to yell at him or write a note  Thank-you for for your prayers. Being  he is on a lot of medication it was a concern but after 3 days he just needed his ears washed out  at the hospital. Yesterday Rob  and his wife Judy took us to a museum on dinosours  I like them and they looked so real and then to lunch, It was a change. After we arrived home their daughter phoned for us to take her to the stables so she could ride her horse as she is getting ready for compitations.  Because we are older it is always nice to be needed and to be a part of their lives..We are using our geen onions and my flowers are coming along. we have had rain off and on. Oh at the museum there was pictures of sand cranes with the red head I had never seen any but they tell me they come in flocks as they fly north and others have seen them. I looked up Mud Hens and it showed a bird that I didn't know and tjhen by putting the name mud hen crane I eventully saw the brown long legged brown bird Maybe it has a more elabrate name that I don't know, God bless Take care Lorena.

Auction Day - 06:33, Saturday, July 4, 2009 - By Marie

Saturday! Auction Day in the neighborhood. We will see how everything goes. There are a lot of neat things down on Elmers hay pasture. Everything from smokehouses and gazebos to wringer eashers and wood cook stoves. Mark drove our tractor down last night. The little ponies and carts are selling today too. I hope the buyers with money come :)

My in-laws arrives last night to stay the weekend. My father in law hopes to get a bunch of chickens today at the auction. I think they are selling about 300 young hens. He set up shop in our front yard yesterday and made a picnic table out there. It is made out of the extra rough cut lumber Mark has accumulated, a mixture of maple, oak and poplar. The table weighs a literal ton and I think we will need a group of amish guys to move it over to it's final spot under a maple tree. Until then, it can stay where it is.

I worked a lot on staking our 70 tomatoe plants the other night. My hands are such a mess now, between the scratches from the raspberry brambles, and stained fingers from the berries and stained hands from working in the tomatoes.... definitely not a hand model moment here.

Good weather today, thank you Lord. I think I need one more cup of coffee before I go out to face the cows. I'm trying to dry up Mrs Calloway ecause she should be due in a couple months (if I calculated right) and I'd like to give her a little rest. I just milk her out about half way each time until her milk supply goes down to the point where I don't milk at all. She has had a good long cycle this time, nearly two years. Not bad for an old girl.

Well, I'm off to get coffee in me. Have a great one!

I love roosters.

So far they have taken 3 truckloads out. They found better than expected trees here, so maybe we will be getting some extra money for them. We shall see.
