instinctively animals understand the ebb and flow of the world.....we have seen first hand how the birds of the air don't worry, but yet, just do...do what they are supposed to do...
no worries
there is no need to worry
the Bible (the original version that is) says not to fear/not to worry over 365 times
I will take one for each day please...and in that give thanks....
mornings can be rough....this I know all too well...but catch yourself and remind yourself not to worry....not to fear
pax+blessings,
Reading your beautiful post and looking at your serene photos of the animals, gives me great peace.
ReplyDeleteI'm up early and doing my favorite thing, drinking coffee and reading the blogs.
Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Nice post. Nice photography. I do like the natural fence and oh my! those cinnamon rolls looks sooo good. Indeed, isn't it wonderful how we have God's word to assure us.
ReplyDeleteI need to remind myself often to turn my worries into prayers and let them with the One who is completely trustworthy. It is a daily challenge - I'm so glad I have Jesus to turn to daily.
ReplyDeletelovely post ann marie,
ReplyDeletei especially luv those cinnamon rolls? would you be willing to share your recipe. they look marvelous. I can almost smell them...

Okay, the closest thing I'm going to get to those cinnamon rolls is CINNABON, many miles from where I live, but I will not worry because they can make them WAY better than I can....LOL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome...I have no baking skills.
P.S. I always enjoy your motivational and inspirational posts. I needed to read this today.
ReplyDeleteThat is JUST the reminder I needed this morning! Thx!!

Hmmm..."Don't Worry and Fear Not" are two of the most repeated phrases in the Bible and yet they are the two things we as humans tend to do the most. I like the idea of using one "Don't Worry" for each day of the year - although some days I may need more reminders than that :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely post...beautiful photos...and inspiration to go bake up a batch of cinnamon rolls!!!
well! you just said all the things I was thinking today.
ReplyDeletei love your photos :)
THANK YOU.

ReplyDeleteI often look to your posts as the grounding and uplifting that I need when I feel overwhelmed by the many small things in life. I thank you for your sharing of yourself, your family and your farm. I thank you for the quiet guidance and support you offer, it does make a difference.
ReplyDeleteJust saw your blog and love it. Live in Texas, but am from illinois and miss it so much! Is it too late to sign up for some of these great classes. Would love to come to your barn event. Did you say you have it twice a year. Great idea! Jeanne
