Family Time

Snowbell (mountain flowers)

I have just had a whole lot of family from my husbands side visiting and it seems in the next few weeks we will be having more! (He has a huge family 11 in all) It has been busy around here between all of the farm chores and entertaining a house full I have not had the time to keep up with blogging. :s I have been praying, lots and lots, and keeping up with the people I have been praying for but aside from that I really haven't been on this computer. I must admit I did have computer with drawls but that, I assure you, didn't last long. ;P

It was so great seeing the cousins spending time together, city kids mixing with country home school kids. There was a lot of time outside fishing and swimming in the creek, ministering to them through music, prayer and just our family interactions. Great time of bonding and hoping and praying the Holy Spirit touches them.

In between family visits the kids, hubby and I went mountain hiking...so much fun! We drove north a few hours then headed for a 18 km hike into the snow! Usually at this time of year there is not much snow at the tops of the mountains but because we have had such a cool summer and a lot of rain, the snow didn't melt.

Soon my hubby's mom and dad will come for a visit but before they come I need to decide what to do for my son's grade 11 school year. My daughter needs the other half of her university books, which we are finding out to be really expensive. Life moves on, time passes and I look back and just praise God that I have Him in my life!

Please continue to pray for Summer, as this new medicine is WORKING! She is on her way to remission. :) Click here to read her last post.

If you could remember me in your prayers I would really appreciate it, it seems I am having an RA flare :( I guess it is all the extra work I am doing, lack of sleep and I think some food that I shouldn't be eating has been in my diet. Thanks!

Ecclesiastes 11:7-9 NIV

Light is sweet,
   and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
However many years anyone may live,
   let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember the days of darkness,
   for there will be many.
   Everything to come is meaningless.

 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
   and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
   and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
   God will bring you into judgment.

God Bless,
