Let yourself smile, be crazy inspired, laugh, love & really live the gift of this life
just a little bit more this weekend…
Serving up only the Good Stuff for you & your people right here:
A saunter through the mountains is just the breath of fresh air I needed
Returning to the Love of the Book … a read not to miss.
Great reminder to enjoy the little things.
Okay… talk about inspiring. This might just be some goals for us!
When a 4 year old helps his sister learn how to ride a bike… I want to love like this
“It is here I rest and here I hide 
In the shadow of Shaddai “
How many days can you keep extending the same soup in Brooklyn to keep feeding folks? It’s like Stone Soup revisited!
This is just really the best kind of soul food for the weekend
This mailman and the surprise he pulled together for this 2-year-old delivery buddy! It just really says something to go the extra distance. #BeTheGift
They drove 2 days for ketchup chips — but it’s this man’s love for his son that’s worth the read.
Oh to be greeted like this!
5 abandoned places reclaimed by nature — and when wild beauty takes over structural beauty, it’s really just a stunning sight.
– Beautiful, isn’t it? –
93 years old and he did WHAT?! You just have to read this!
Yep, yep, yep!
4000 baptized off a California beach last month, and God is up to something so sweet.
Oh! Isn’t it stunning?! Who wants to come along with us for a little glory soak this weekend?
Post of the Week from these Parts here
So you know the anthem? Well, what our American, Mountain-girl daughter-in-law didn’t know about “amber waves of grain”… until she gets it… what she had no idea about before — an epiphany from my daughter-in-law:
The Farmer’s Almanac for the Soul: How to Prepare to Cultivate the Divine in the Daily
Last Days to Get Free Audio Books
As the month ends, so does the opportunity to get free audio books from Audible — including my books as free audio books!
Free Audible = Get my books for free
And so many of our book recommendation posts:
How to Read More, have Daily Reading Retreats & 10 Spiritual Formation Books To Change Your Life
Parenting Hack and 10 Favourite Children’s Books
All of which is the absolute perfect opportunity for you to join us: Only available just till the end of July, Audible is offering a 3 month free trial, for new customers or past customers, and I’m crazy delighted because this means you can get any or all of my books absolutely for freeÂ
You will be able to download one book a month for free, for three months — perfect to reorient and renew this summer!
(And if you decide Audible isn’t for you? You can easily cancel with the click of just one button, but the books are yours for free, forever!)
Our family listens to hundreds of Audible books on the farm every year as we work out in those fields of wheat and sheep , and we truly hope listening to (free!) audio books is as much a life-giving, life-transforming rain of blessing over you, as it daily is to us.
Oh this song! Don’t miss this one!
“You call my name when my heart starts to wander
And You shepherd me and lead me to still waters
Let Your spirit fall, I just want more, I just want more
Jesus, be my shalom“
[from our Facebook community – join us?]
Only your Father gets to name you.
Not the father of lies,
not the kids down the street,
not the cynics in the stands,
not the ghosts from the past.
The only One who gets to name you
is the One who wrote you on the palm of His hands.
Give up the shame
and claim your truest name.
You may be hurting,
you may be scarred,
but you are the brave who are still
His Beloved.
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
