I will obey, even if it is really hard! That is what Ruth must have been thinking, and I know that feeling!
I had to rake the yard today. Both yards, the front and the back. By myself. No one to help me. This is the time I wish I had 6 Siblings! But I am an only child. I tease my Mom and tell her this is an Urban Work Farm, NOT a home. But both my Mom and Dad work really hard, too, so I can't really complain that much. I just have to DO it... Rake and Rake and Rake some more.

But today, after I got over the fury of having to WORK so long and hard, I started to enjoy myself! I love breathing in the scents of fall. My Mom is an Herbalist, and so there are many neat plants growing all around that have the most fragrant scents. I roam around, crushing plant leaves in my hand, smelling the delicious odors of the herbs.
Yellow Rose still blooming |
Even though it is Autumn, my Mother's roses are still blooming. They are really beautiful! And the leaves... their rainbow of colors are wonderful!
Psalm 16:5 says
"Oh Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance
and my cup, You maintain my lot."
