Well, Its that time of year again, when you just cant stand being inside for so long, and you just got to go outside for a good talk!
Then when you cant agree on your talk, you break out into a snowball fight! :-D
Levi getting his picture taken...... I know thats obvious, but I couldnt think of a better title :-)
We took this oil furnace out, and put in a new one!
A Black squirll keeping itself warm with its tail.
Ride it Cowboy!
We did some painting over at one of the Biddingers rental homes! It was a fun time indeed!!
We put the little girls onto cleaning the shower doors.
Hello.
After the painting, we had a dinner for Mr. and Mrs. Bid for their 25th wedding anniversary!
Levi did the music, and we did a little reinactment of the parents meeting eachother... It was very funny!! :-)
We were helping the Rothenhousers move some stuff for their Grandma.
The Martindales latest edition to the family.
Here is a couple videos from sledding today.
I got a note from something I wrote, for you all to think about!
I was thinking about a couple
emails that have been sent out recently. The one that Andrew had about
music, and the one Faith had about the Dry bones.
I firmly believe that Music is a very important role in our lives.
The music that we listen to can really set the mood for how we do
things even in the little details of our everyday life. Like today
I was doing snowblowing, which is a pretty boring job... ya know,
pushing the snowblower around for several hours on driveways that
I have done 15 times this year, and I have been doing that for about
8 or 9 years already, isn't the most fun thing to do. But I got some
really good uplifting music on my phone that I listen to while I work,
and that REALLY helps!! Also I do a lot of praying, that is also encouraging!!
And we all got jobs like that... Ryan Milks the Cow, Andrew makes
Subs, Rachel Answers the phone ect.
But there are ways that in our daily lives that we can bring new life
to them! That's where the verses that Faith shared comes in. I think
of those verses as "New hope/life for dead lives"
We need to think for eternity, and live our life's that way! But maybe
Eternity is a little hard to comprehend, so maybe we should think
50 years out. What do I want my life and legacy looking like 50 years
from now? Think about that for a bit!
There was something I was inspired a while back from Mr. Biddinger
about what I want my life to look like. "Being surrounded by
a whole pile of children and Grand children that are Godly and SET
on changing other peoples life's for God" WOW now isn't that
be great!!!
But sadly I find myself all caught up in the "here and now"
:-( and not on the Kingdom of God!
I know that it may seem that what normally fills our day up (school,
work and chores) seems unmeaningful compared to 50 years from now,
or even eternity, But How can that be turned around?!?
A couple starters is Good Music and Praying, and I know Ryan talks
on the phone to people while he is milking....
But what is some other ways of living for eternity while doing our
daily doings? or- How can God bring LIFE to Dry bones?
God Bless! I'm praying for you all!
