Wow. Isn’t our God amazing? Powerful is the word that is
coming most easily to my mind at present. I have been honored with the delight
of ‘Farm-Sitting’ for some dear friends this weekend.
This is the front door to their little farmhouse:
I get to take care of sheep, chickens, rabbits, cats, and
the dog.
Meet Sheppard!
But the really amazing thing is the HUGE storm
that arrived
last night! It’s snowing and blowing, eight inches have fallen so far and while
the official temperature is 26 degrees, it feels like -2 because of the wind.
The drifts are forming in minutes and making footprints disappear. I waded
through knee-high ones just trying to get to the barn.
These are the drifts next to the house.
So you can understand why this was necessary…
Bug eyes and everything!
It is SO cold! The sheep are having lambs, and I’m nervous
that they’ll get too cold. I tried to keep them watered and sheltered, but it's too cold for them to walk all the way out to the pasture for liquid water, so they prefer to just eat snow.
So today, as I braved the frozen desert, my prayer was one of wonder and awe. I am overwhelmed by our great God's power and grace. He blesses me with hardship and beauty, all to direct me back to Himself.
May you stay warm and always be thankful.
