Shabbat Shalom 1-25
Good morning everyone! It should be an interesting prep day today with four little babies in my garage needing fed, two does to milk, and a kitchen that still lacks a sink lol. But we look forward to Shabbat so we’ll just do our best to get ready and ask YHVH to bless our efforts. […]
Shabbat Shalom 1-4
Wow, it’s Preparation Day already! Between tearing out cabinets and nursing a brand new lamb, things have gotten away from me a bit this week. But I think there is only one way to handle it: Pull up my socks and act like a big girl! And move faster to create more heat to counter […]

Shabbat Shalom! 11-30
Shabbat Shalom to my wonderful readers and friends! I am so thankful to be entering into another day of rest. Shabbat does not always look like I want it to. We don’t always focus on YHVH as much as I feel we ought. We sometimes have a hard time setting aside our cares. I have […]

We had a delightful time this afternoon making an “India” box. We will put our change in it, and then send the money to GCGM orphanage in India. We started with a box from dishwasher detergent packs. Then the kids drew pictures of things that make them think of India. We have tigers, […]
