He needs water, too!

Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7


Oh my, do my little ones keep me laughing. Yesterday I looked over and Jed was trying to put a little toy cowboy into my water bottle. After I asked him to stop he replied, "Water's good for him, too!"

We are doing fine. Keep so very busy, about like everybody else! Nikki brought me home a good size box of cucumbers, so I will be canning pickles this week. My friend, Emily, is sharing several heads of cabbage with me, so I will be putting up kraut, too. It will be so nice to have lots of home canned food this winter, for sure!

Our garden is really pretty.We planted lots of corn..hope the critters don't get it. If anyone starves here in SW Virginia, I can't imagine how! We have lots of green beans to go pick at  a friend's garden in Russell County next week. There is so many different varieties of beans here in the south. And I might have some apples coming my way to make applesauce with. God always provides!

I have thought lately about how much an encouraging word can make a difference in a person's life. I have a couple of "cheerleaders" in my life that I am ever so grateful for. I read somewhere once that for every correction you give your child, there should be 10 praises. If we could all get a hold of that, wouldn't the world be a better place? My Great-Aunt Bertha is especially like that. She is now 90 years old, and still sends the sweetest homemade cards and letters you ever saw. She's so sweet. She has encouraged me when it felt like all the world was against me. Everyone needs an Aunt Bertha in their life!

Have a great day. If your mother is still living, call her and tell her you love her today. :) Life is short!
