June 9. Thankful for a relaxing day. Didn’t have to cook this morning, except for a couple eggs to go with Daddy’s pancake breakfast. Had plenty of time for quiet time. Went out for a little walk early, before 8:00, while it was still cool outside. Took my prayer book with me so I could pray along the way. Saw a turtle in the neighbor’s yard and took a couple pictures. Spent a little time crocheting and a little time painting. My sweet husband did the dishes. We forgot to bring the other half of Daddy’s sub home from the girls’ house last night, so for dinner I fixed him carrots, mashed potatoes, and turkey gravy. Spent more time crocheting and painting this afternoon and early evening. Once the evening cooled off a little bit, Daddy and I went out for fresh air and a little exercise. We took clippers out and a plastic bag so we could cut down the vines that were growing up the wall next to the kitchen window. They were taking over more and more of the wall. Turned out we didn’t even need the clippers. I used a plastic bag over my hand (don’t have any gloves) and just pulled them out. The came out very easily. After we had done that, we walked around, and I took a few pictures of the clouds and a bumble bee. After we came back inside, I cut up turnips and put them on to cook for tomorrow. “1Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child…. 2Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; 3For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.” Isaiah 54:1-4 One of my greatest burdens is for more boldness in sharing the gospel. My prayer is that God will put thirsty hearts in my path to whom I can give the water of life. These verses came to me today as a promise that the Lord will give many spiritual children to those who are spiritually barren.
