SNOW

I had never seen a horse shiver before. Im not sure if it was because of the cold or because he was scared, but poor Manasseh was shivering. Once Splash showed him he would not die from this white stuff though he seemed fine. They were running and rolling in it.

Actually, you cant see it , but Steve is down by the trees . Manasseh was making sure he was ok.

Up to thier bellies. Two cold hotdogs.

Leader of the pack

Die to Self

This morning while reading in our Bible Study Priscilla asked the question
"What things is God asking you to set aside to follow Him more closely?"
My answer was " my selfishness and selfconsiousness..self self self self self!
After I finished todays study I was reading in the Psalms a song sung at Passover when out of the blue Fiddler on the Roof came to my mind.
Now I havent seen Fiddler on the Roof in years and wasnt sure what made me think of it.
I was reminded of the song they sang around the table on the Sabboth...
"May they be like Ruth and like Esther, may they be deserving of praise....."
So I thought to myself, what did Ruth and Esther do and I went through thier stories in my mind
Well, they went here, they did that etc..... then it hit me....
They died to self!
(Im so glad God understands how my mind works better than I do.)
They stopped thinking about thier own desires and put God and others ahead of themselves.
May we be like Ruth and like Esther, May we be deserving of praise!

Check out Three Fold Ministries blog for updates on events coming up. These are ministry opportunities that anyone can participate in. Just keep in mind that if you want to come with us to the prison you have to get on the approved list. That process takes about 2 weeks so plan ahead.
Our ladies Bible study is going well. I hope to get a picture of all of us the next time we meet.
Dont let me forget!!!!!!!!!!!

1 John 1:4-5

( part 2 ) part 1 is on Threefolds blog
And these things we write, so that our joy may be made complete. And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

For those who live way up north winters are very long and much time is spent in doors. When people are forced to be inside, without the sun, they tend to get down and depressed. A little "sun therapy" can bring some joy back into their lives.
While going through a difficult time in my life I found that going to a tanning bed seemed to brighten my day.
We are drawn to light. Can you imagine what joy and peace we will feel in heaven! No darkness at all, only light. And the light IS Jesus.

Many are saying "who will show us any good?" Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord! Thou hast put gladness in my heart...In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For thou alone, O lord, dost make me to dwell in safety. Ps. 4:6-8

Jesus said.." I am the light of the world, he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

Life and light are both found in Jesus

ok... one more
