For the Lord God is a sun and shield.
The Lord gives grace and glory;
He does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity.
Lord of Hosts, happy is the person who trusts in You!
Psalm 84:11-12



Today we did less schoolwork and had some good clean fun. We basked in the sun and worked on our garden. We finally planted the green beans that I had waited until now on purpose to plant. This way they will be ready when John comes home for R and R. They are his favorite veggies and he loves them fresh and right out of the garden. Let's hope they produce a good hearty yield in time. We also raked up the backyard and mulched the garden with the stuff we gathered.
Then we put up our new pool. It was so nice to feel the sun on our face and shoulders and to do some good hearty work outside. All 3 kids were filthy and nowhere near clean. But they were having fun and working together on a good family project. They had a blast in the pool at the end of the day. Although it was still ice cold water. They could not get me in it.....it was so cold. The warmth of the sun just does something for me ........lifts my mood, lightens my spirit, warms my insides. Something along the same lines as the light of the SON.
