November 2022. Love


NOVEMBER 

Love is the word of the month

 In a memory to Loretta Lynn, her song “Love is the foundation we all lean on”  sums up this month.  Love helps us find gratitude, grace and patience; all gifts freely given to us by God if we’ll just call on him. 

November is a great month to take a walk in the leaves enjoy all the full fall foliage or take a walk at night and enjoy the winter constellations like Orion or the Big Dipper getting ready to spill, write  Christmas cards or make a Christmas shelter for Baby Jesus    So many ways to reflect and give thanks. 

Every morning I give thanks to Jesus for all his help and I am trying to do it more all through the day. Yet sometimes I just have to be thankful for little steps. ..Try remembering to give thanks when you stumble into a frozen mud puddle, I think I’ve come a long way just to be quiet, pick myself up and carry on. So with that said, give thanks for the good times and the



not-so-good ones as well.   Enjoy and love the Thanksgiving season, with family and friends  


Winter came fully in the beginning of November…

October 2022. **** word : lamp

The Amazing light of autumn 
Lamp is our word of the month


October 
Autumn light is heavenly light. Hence the word of the month: lamp.  In psalm 119 we often quote “Thy word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path”. To whom do you bring light to each day?  Not necessarily by a lamp , maybe just with a smile or a compliment or just by being you. 

We wake early on the ranch…this gives us a little time with our Lord before we begin the day.  The sun rays stretch out like long bleachers as they stretch below the horizon.  It gives amazing morning light and deeper hues to all of the natural beauty surrounding us.  The sun is resilient and we can hope to be that way in spirit.  We are so grateful and spend these early moments thanking God for the gifts he has given us. 

Be sure to wake up thankfully and then pass it on in tiny little ways that make you smile a mysterious little grin. Celebrate All Hallows’ Eve and enjoy the thanksgiving season.

The stars and moon are just sparkling with light each night 
Enjoy the gift of walking amongst the stars one evening and you wonder upon the universe
