No More Dust

I got the house all nice and clean.

Now I need to iron a little.

Excuse My Dust

I will just have to do this, I have put it off to long. Murphy oil soap is my friend today. The Bennie will have to stay out of my way are I will clean him to. I am in a mad rush just look at my face and you can tell how schizophrenia (separation between thought and emotions) I am.

Peace

.....that in me ye might have peace (John 16:33 )

I have been through the valley of weeping,

The valley of sorrow and pain;

But the "God of all comfort" was with me,

At hand to uphold and sustain.

As the earth needs the clouds and the sunshine,

Our souls need both sorrow and joy;

So He places us oft in the furnace,

The doss from the gold to destroy,

Let the path be dreary or bright;

For we've proved that our God can give comfort,

Our God can give songs in the night.

Here are my fish

The Bennie

The cool Little Red River

More wild flowers

We fished played Monoply and read books and cooked out. It was so good to not have TV.

Trout Fishing

was slow but it was cool on the Little Red and the wild flowers were in show.

More later and the fish I caught.

Exercise

This picture should be last.

I was thinking my mind needs a work out, so I got this small puzzle.

It took me 3 days and if you go back to the top picture The Bennie is doing the sky .I gave up all of the sky is one color. So I guess his mind is in better shape then mine.

Sweet Smell

They worked fast to get the hay raked and in rolls before the storm. We got the fast moving rain after dark. The hay was safe and the field was clean and dotted with big rolls.

Tea pots

I just love tea pots

These come from the English Tea Store

Peace

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee ( Isa. 26:3 ) A happy life is not built up of tours abroad and pleasant holidays, but of little clumps of violets noticed by the roadside, hidden away almost so that only those can see them who have God's

peace and love in their hearts; in one long continuous chain of little joys, little whispers from the spiritual world, little gleams of sunshine on our daily walk.

Trust Him

He----hangeth the earth upon nothing (Job 26:7)

Ere thou sleepest, gently lay

Every troubled thought away;

Put off worry and distress

As thou puttest off thy dress.

Drop thy burden and thy care

In the quiet arms of prayer---- Henry Van Dyke
