This 2nd Sunday of Advent started with a new calf, and mass later than usual... I really had the desire to have a big Sunday dinner with Paul here working, Nancy and her kids here and then grandma Verly came home with us for dinner and visiting around the table. It was nice to have the men stop and come in for a "farm dinner." What is a farm dinner? Maria asked for a farm dinner for her birthday when she was about 13 or so... "It is a meal with meat we raise, potatoes, and more than one vegetable... maybe two or three." We love our vegetables here on the farm and the more the better! We are missing the beautiful nice warm weather today, but the few we had last week gave us hope for a string of nice days in a row!
A great family time last night playing sling-shot monster car! I am feeling more and more that we are having a "Michigan" weekend. What it a Michigan weekend? It is close family time away from the distractions of life. Sharing large meals and activities, and fun and reconnecting together! It has just been a lot of that together time! I love it and needed it - I have just been craving getting together and sharing our hearts, minds, and souls! This Sunday of the Transfiguration we are given a glimpse of Heaven and the LIGHT we will all encounter - these heavenly moments of Faith/Family/Farm we are given a glimpse of heaven to help us through the challenges of life. Jesus, I thank you and Praise You for these times of sharing food and sharing our inner thoughts and feelings! Jesus, we trust in YOU. Bless-bless, Barbara Luke
Gearing up for the big St Patrick's celebration tomorrow! It is so special around here as it is my sister, Mary's, birthday and more on that tomorrow...
