Before a new year begins…

Before a new year begins it’s time to share random daily happenings from the last days of November into deep December! ☺️? Believe it or not, I haven’t had a random post since before Thanksgiving day[*Screams*?]! From long work days, to Christmas card crafting,  trips out with the family, warm evening walks, gingerbread house decorating, birthdays celebrated,  and cookie baking, the days have been full and busy and blessed! And The Lord has given strength and grace every step of the way. The verse that has been on my mind these past couple months is from Psalm 18:35, “THOU hast also given me the shield of THY salvation: and THY right hand hath holden me up, and THY gentleness hath made me great.”  Here we are at the end of another year, the Lord has once again shown His faithfulness, shielding us with His salvation and leading + upholding us with the skillfulness of His strong hand! “Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”[Ps 139:10]. ?  So, how about a few[dozen ?] photos of my November & December days?! It is my hope that these photos reveal the Lord’s daily mercies in our lives. Through thick and thin, joys and trails, ups and downs He remains faithful! We are weak yet HE is strong and in Christ alone we find our hope. ♥ So, all that to say, ENJOY!!  ?? I will try to give a little description below the photos!  ??

??‍♀️ QUESTION!!! How was your December?? I would love to hear a favorite highlight from this month a verse the Lord has used to encourage you!!  Would you make my day by leaving a comment below with your answer or just a simple “hellooooo”?! ☺️

“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”
Isaiah 41:13

About Rachel

"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Isaiah 1:18-20

  1. It looks like y’all have had a busy and fun couple months. We’ve been a little less busy here in NC. I miss the days when we had so many kids at home. More than half are gone and married and starting their own families.

  2. HE indeed is faithful!! Enjoyed seeing the pictures and oh, those little farm critter additions are so cute!!?? I grew up with sheep, and lambs can be so much fun!!! ?
    A Scripture God used to encourage my heart this month was, “31¶What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
    I love Romans 8!!!
    Have a wonderful new year!!??
    God bless!

    1. I love Romans 8 too! The entire chapter is chalked full of goodness. Love verse 28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”

      Thank you for your comment, Jill! Such a blessing to receive! ☺️??
