For the Birds

The minute you got close, they would take off flying. The sound of their wings sounded like thunder!

 I thought the above picture looks like a heart formation.

 The ground looked like it had snowed, and when they flew it looked like a cloud.

The last couple of days, there has been thousands and thousands of Snow Geese around our house. It has been fascinating to watch.  It really reminds me of when we lived in Kenmare, and all the geese would land on the lake, and the noise would be so loud, we'd have to yell to hear each other when we stepped outside our house. (we were only a few blocks from the lake).  There's no lake by our house here, but the birds have been landing in the grain fields for "refueling" as they make their trip south.

Sunrise on the Prairie

There's nothing like a North Dakota sunrise (or sunset for that matter).  God loves to show off his extensive colors and majesty. 
I love old wells. This one sits in the yard here and is what brings water to the cows and horses.  Though years ago, I'm sure it didn't have an electric motor and a pvc pipe attached it it, things have changed for convenience sake, but it still has the same function. To bring water to the livestock.  But where is the well today that is bringing refreshing water to your heart and soul?  If you're truly thirsty, come to Jesus, he has a well that never runs dry! 

Happy 50th Birthday Todd!!

All week I've talked about Todd. Today is his 50th birthday (which means mine is only 2 months away).  I thank God for you and all you do for us. Your never ending love for God, your example of someone who walks in the love of God, and your passion for the Word of God.  May your next 50 years be even better!  Happy Birthday Cowboy, from your Angel and kids. 

Havin' fun in Minnesota

We've spent the weekend in Willmar, MN with our kids.  Todd received the greatest gift of all for his birthday from Tyson and Sarah when they told him he's a Grandpa!!  (Wow, that makes me a Grandma! Oh my!!)  Here's my man, resting and reading the Faith Aid (put out by AFCM and Jim Kaseman Ministries) in the hotel room.
