It’s the first day of spring! The wind HOOOOWLS outside my windows.
My good farmer man battles the dust and blowing dirt this wind kicks up. He sends me pictures of the curved lines furrowed in the dirt from tractor and ripper. Continued blowing dirt will ruin our wheat crop. The farmers in our county work up wheat in an effort to preserve the greater part of our baby wheat. It’s a literal living of Habakkuk 3:17-18
“Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
This is life.
Forever and always. Ups. Downs. Wind howls. Earth shakes.
Jesus never forsakes.
Life unravels; we weave again.
Dirt blows, still we sow.
God promises the seasons and the reaping of a harvest will never cease as long as the earth makes revolutions around the sun.
His goodness is everlasting.
His mercies are new every day.
We can anchor in His peace as we navigate our pain.
I am eager to throw open windows, watch green sprout anew, bask in sunshine as spring envelops us…..on the calendar page anyhow, for now. 🙂
I bring you bright blooms today, all the same! We have a giveaway for a Spiral Bible New Testament. Hurrah!
If you’re in the market for a simple, easy note-taking/journaling Bible, give this one a look.
It’s textbook/notebook size.
The spiral allows it to lay flat, a detail I love.
It’s available in KJV or ASV.
The Spiral Bible New Testament line has one specifically for men and three different cover designs for women.
They also have the Book of Genesis and the Book of Exodus for kids.
There’s also a handful of Old Testament Books for adults.
It was a delight to get to preview and review The Spiral Bible New Testament.
It’s a lovely Bible for notetakers. It’s set up for great interaction with the text.
Enter the giveaway and may your day bloom bright with delight {and no wind}. 😉

I am excited to see my lilacs bloom this spring! It has been a long season of planting and livestock consuming and waiting and now I finally have some that should put on a show.
Lovely! Enjoy every minute of spring beauty!!!!
I’m eager to get the fall and winter’s leftovers cleaned up in our yard.
Oh, this always feels like such an accomplishment!!!
Dear Deborah,
I just wrote you a heartfelt note to let you know how your blog has touched me over the years.
When I clicked on the Post Comment, I lost my note and could not check my email address as it was stating an error with my address.
Do not want to try to rewrite my note. So I will try again at a later date. Know that your blog has touched me over many years. I found you through your sister’s blog, Sew a Fine Seam!!!
Will be looking forward to your next post!!1
Sincerely,

Bonnie ~ Thank you.
So sincerely.
Your words are too kind and I’m so sad the internet engulfed your first note.
I love hearing your backstory of coming here from my sister’s blog.
May your week have every delight in it.
Looking forward to hunting for wild mushrooms and being warm enough to take my Bible study outdoors to the hammock.
YES! Bible study in the hammock!
These are so spring looking and bright and cheerful. Been wanting one so bad to see if its what I need for notetaking mostly maybe some art on the side. Thanks for a chance to win one. Happy Spring everyone. Blessings…
