My First Sheep!

Thanks to Sandra over at Thistle Cove Farm

I am now a proud owner of my first sheep!

I won this sheep stamp on one of Sandra's giveaways recently.

Cute isn't it?

This is what the stamp will look like when I can get some ink.

There's a little of a reflection from the camera flash

but you get the jist, right?

So, thanks much, Miss Sandra for sending me the sheep stamp.

It came in today's mail. I'm so excited!

And think of all of the feed I'll save! LOL

Take care All, from KY.

Words of Wisdom Wednesday

I was recently emailing back and forth with Sandra at Thistle Cove Farm and was asking her questions about some ideas I had of what I want to do with my small farm in the country, when I get there. When I got her responses to all of my questions, I wrote back and told her thanks for not saying my dream was impossible. This is what she said to me: What's impossible, Kathy, is not following your heart. If God leads you to do something, He'll take you through to the end.

So, I was doing some studying, and came across these Bible verses that really struck home with me, and I'd like to share these words of wisdom with you from the Book of Psalms.

Psalm 20: 4-5
May he give you the desire of you heart
and make all your plans succeed.
We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.

I know that there are some bloggers I follow who have not quite seen their dreams of having a small farm and self-sufficient living come to fruition. But hang in there. Your dreams will come true. May the Lord grant all your requests.

Take care, All. And have a blessed Wednesday.

From KY.
