My goodness, it was a strange day yesterday. It snowed about an inch or so which is kind of unusual for this time of year. First snow is sometimes near the end of October.
I canned 14 quarts of potatoes yesterday, we were blessed to have 40 pounds of potatoes given to us.
I got a huge shipment, really heavy anyway. It was my heat press for the t-shirts, and mugs, etc that I am going to produce for my business. I already have an engraver but the Tshirts will be a new line. I found a Epson 1400 printer for $228.00 at Tigerdirect.com and the sublimation ink online on ebay for about $400.00. I am bidding on the supply system too but the ink is pricey.
We got the liner in for our chimney project and the wood burning stove will be here this weekend. Richard is supporting the floor downstairs and getting the walls ready for the cement board. We are fortunate to be able to use the old chimney which goes up the center of the house and will be using the liner in the inside of it. Lots of work, but it will be cozy this winter!
We are in a book study called Love and Respect which is written by Dr. Emerson and Sarah Eggerichs. I like how they present the idea that women see things through pink glasses and men through blue glasses and we hear with pink hearing aids and blue hearing aids. I thought men just needed to be loved and everything would go smoothly. I am hearing that men need respect from their spouses and women need to be loved and feel love. It makes a little more sense to me as I am learning about the crazy cycles we go through. There is a DVD, book and workbook for this program.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:14-17 (KJV)
I have yet to understand the trials we are being put through since buying this house two years ago. I think this verse I will have to read often. I do not see how survey lines and the upcoming trip to the attorney is glorifying God. Both of us pray for our neighbors to find peace and joy. Also the upcoming ordinance changes do not glorify God, it just makes one person try to control and dominate the other. I cannot see how forcing me to get rid of our hens and not be able to keep bees will glorify God. Pray for the animals and us!
May God Bless and keep you!
