The Homestead Way of Life

From "Streams in the Desert" January 7

"Others may do a greater work,

But you have your part to do;

And no one in all God's heritage

Can do it so well as you.

They who are God's without reserve, are in every state content; for they will only what He wills, and desire to do for Him whatever He desires them to do; they strip themselves of everything, and in this nakedness find all things restored an hundredfold."

Remember ladies, we're only passing through.

What are "Streams in the Desert"? Is it a book and when was it published (besides a verse in the Bible). I am curious because (and this is going way back) I remember seeing a book by that name when I was a young girl and one of my older brothers were attending a school called "Pinecrest" Thanks..kayinpa

Thanks

Thanks for the reminder that small things are OK! Feeling kinda down after today's sermon at church being all about how God wants us to do BIG things, and how if you're not dreaming of doing BIG things for God, you're not very spiritual. Kinda discouraging for the stay at home momma who's time is devoted to pretty small potatoes by the standards of many, even in the Christian community. Great quote.

Streams in the Desert is a daily devotional that was compiled in 1925 by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman. I am always so blessed by the daily encouragement and inspiration.

I just wanted to thank you for you last post and reminding me that I am a homesteader even though I am not in the "area" I long for. I am adding you as a friend.
Thanks
