Easter Preparation

"Today is the day the Lord has made, may we be glad and rejoice in it." As spring is busy springing, the birds are busy chirping, people are busy hustling and bustling. Let us pause, take in a deep cleansing breath and give gratitude that we are here. That we are not slaves to God, and that he lets us choose freely how to serve him and love him. Free will, it's a wonderful thing.

As we prepare our houses for our Easter celebration, let's not forget the only reason there is an Easter. Celebrate Jesus' sacrifice. Don't let extremists tell you painting a bunny is defiant, for if it reminds us that God loves us, what does it matter how we celebrate his love?

Monday again! Good Morning. Wow what a great morning. The kitty is purring, the dog is sitting anxiously waiting to go let the chickens out of the barn. I want to let anyone know that visits me here, that I love my God, and I take comfort that he takes care of me, leads me to where he's working, and uses me to complete his plan. If you have a different view of powers-that-be, that's fine with me. I don't judge people on their beliefs, the most important thing is to have one. If you'd like to read about mine here's a really helpful site to go to.

Hello Friends

This is just a quick hello for anyone who runs across my blog. I own 17 chickens, hence the name. I love quilting, crochet, knitting, painting, homemade crafts, canning, cooking, playing games, and raising my kids. I wouldn't be able to do any of it if I didn't have the undying love of God, and my husband.
