for His glory...

↟ ↡ ↟ ↡ ↟ ↡ ↟ ↡

Hour after hour, 
May you continue to trust Him.
Go all in when loving and serving Him.
Read more books.
Learn a new language. 
Go places you've never been before
even when it's five minutes away. 
Worship like you have never
worshipped before. 
Do it all for Love.
Do it all for Him. 

-Morgan Harper Nicholas


↟ ↡ ↟ ↡ ↟ ↡ ↟ ↡

Lately, I have been burdened to be ALL for Jesus. There are so many hurting and unhappy people in the world. And although we may feel like we can't do much, a smile, small chit-chat with a customer at work, or loving your family at home is a big blessing. Pray with and for others. Be cheerful and joyful. Be a happy person to be around. Love others. Stay plugged into His word, and claim His promises.
All this is showing Jesus and serving Him. 
"DO IT ALL FOR LOVE."
"DO ALL FOR HIM."

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of your 
steadfast love and your faithfulness." - Psalms 115:1

Mitch got a photo shoot! The people that we sell our steers to, randomly showed up one day this past week and wanted to take pictures of the animals and us on the farm.

and...Addy & Solomon (our big Cane Corso dog!)


And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang: “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
-Revelation 5:13
