Post of the week on the farm:
“When You Don’t Understand Why? The Law Of the White Horse: A Story to hold on to”
Then that window shattered into 7 billion pieces, a sliver struck my heart and maybe a sliver is all we ever have?
I have only thought of that window and what the Farmer said literally a hundred times since it happened — and how we as a family have all returned to the story countless times, as this moment that forever changed how we see the world and everything that happens in it:
you can’t help but smile:
At 74, He Started Running. At 91, He’s a Marathoner
This is beautiful
This is so fun!
WOW! Grandma!!

on the book stack at the farm
In The Girl on the Bathroom Floor, Amber shares the story of her deepest heartbreak and the unexpected beauty that rose from it.
This book isn’t a step-by-step guide to healing. It’s an invitation to sit with someone who’s been there. To cry, lament, and hope again, trusting that even in the darkest valley, God is still good and you are not alone.
In Sally Lloyd Jones‘ latest book, Jesus, Our True Friend, is a brand new collection of 7 stories to fill your heart with Joy. Sally was born Uganda, raised in East and West Africa and at a boarding school in the New Forest, England, studied at the Sorbonne, and now lives in New York City.
